Farm chatter

[EverythingDucks]

I've done research on ducks, wild ducks, for over a year now. I know everything there is to know about caring for them and releasing them. And I very well understand the laws about that.

I just want to give this duckling a chance

Sorry I was late.

did I tell you guys about how I saved the life of a parrot today?

What???? No, please, do tell

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.

I just accidentally saw this while trying to find my place again (got lost)?and I was like damn! And of course had to read it and OMG

So APPARENTLY my parents were never against getting more chickens (YES THEY WERE) but it doesn’t matter because my mom absolutely will not expand the run
I’m looking at how much it would cost to hire someone to build it in the same style bc my parents are the kind of folks that care about things looking cohesive n stuff

I asked "did you see my slideshow?" and she was like yeah, then proceded to ask if it would be better in the fall
I went on to explain hatching times
and she was like 'yeah but i'd still have to integrate them while you're at camp'
and at that point i knew that she hadn't looked at it because the first slide says that I don't want to keep the chicks

Tell her, “I’m sorry but it doesn’t seem like you really looked at my slideshow, because that’s not what I was asking. I spent a long time working on it, and I would appreciate it if you could maybe sit down and take some time to think through it and read.”
