So in preparation for our departure in a week or so, I have decided I need to leave the chickens and turkeys in the coop for longer stretches of the day. I am not positive that the neighbor will want to come and deal with them 2x a day. I am totally fine with them staying cooped up, but just want to be sure they are fine with it.

Today was day 1 of not being let out first thing in the morning. It was a good day to do it, as it is rainy and they would just be hiding under the deck anyhow.
I went out to give them some treats and get eggs.
Holy Moly. ANGRY BIRDS!
I was completely cussed out in chicken and turkey. I considered letting them out, but quite honestly, I don't want to do the midnight run with the turkeys (they fly up where I can't get them, then come down later when they think the coast is clear) while it is pouring outside. And it isn't a warm rain either. 50 degrees.

I hope tomorrow they forgive me.

Peep a Cheep - You had me at I can have all the chickens I want. Lol! But really, I think I liked your answers better than Ralph's! Except for, vodka must be on premises before processing begins. A case is a must. You cannot, under any circumstances, run out of vodka! I'm pretty sure it's in the statutes or zoning laws that apply to you. I think it's before the ones telling me that I can only have 85 chickens, so it is much more important. You also must have rib eye steaks resting for dinner and potato salad is mighty satisfying alongside those steaks. Yes, grasshoppa, we will teach you!

Oh, and I have 3 white chickens, two white silkies and Sunny. It's the redheaded hens we don't talk about. They are the troublemakers!

When I become president, I will turn this stinking country upside down I tell you. The first order of business will be abolishing this crap about 85 chickens! The next will be ordering all snooty, nosy horse people to be banished to within city limits so we country folk can enjoy our tall grass, weeds, junk and too many animals to our heart's content.

The next thing is no more of this, "you hurt my feelings because you disagree with me. Now, I'm going to sue you", crap. Boohoo-freakin-hoo. Your feelings are not my responsibility you big baby. This is supposed to be a free country. We are both entitled to our feelings, not just you and I need to conform.

Yes, JR, we did coddle our neighbor too long and when we decided we were done with that, it created a big spoiled rotten baby mess! I suggest as does the Dept of Ag, do not make friends with your neighbor. Do not trust them. Do not engage them. Keep to yourself and leave them alone too. Unless of course, your neighbor is awesome like you all!

Okay, I got some of it out. Thank you for listening.

Proceed with chicken talk.....

My daughter just informed me that they simply ALL must have names.

It is against the law to name something that will end up on your plate. It is permissible to call it by a meal, i.e. Dinner, thanksgiving, Easter, Sunday, Hot wings, Drumstick etc..
