Farm chatter

[ButtonHoarder]

So my friend and I were at Neighbor Lady's house (NL from now on). friend's dog isn't very well trained, and is allowed to roam between the two properties (they're connected by a bit of woods). NL encourages the dog to come to her house bc she gives dog treats. Because I'm apparently the responsible friend, I was the only one paying attention when the dog pushed open the door and went inside the house. Normally this isn't a problem, but NL had A) an open brooder of chicks and B) a parrot both with dog access. LUCKILY dog ignored the chicks (I wouldn't have been able to save them) but noticed the parrot. Parrot, because it has a brain, flew away, which triggered the dog's hunting instinct. dog was *this close* to catching parrot when I heroically tackled the dog (more like full body grabbed, but tackled sounds cooler) allowing the parrot to escape.

Even tho I lowkey hate the farm but it's better than me just culling all the males

Why do you hate it?

I'm struggling so hard to find anything remotely near me that has cream legbars
Not even places that are advertising hatching eggs
I'm figuring something could be arranged where if they're selling chicks, they must be getting the chicks from something, and would probably be willing to sell hatching eggs
but NO

They build chicken coops that are horrible for taking care of chickens, they advertise capacity in the same way that prefab coop companies do, they showed up a full hour late, they brought us the wrong chickens, they were rude, they gave us a chick feeder for adult birds......

THought that my mom said yes to hatching but then realized that A) the run was on the wrong side of the coop, B) my grandparents were there, and C) the run and coop were falling apart
I realized it was a dream right before I woke up
