Granite is going to be a cheeky boy. I spread treats. The little devil marched up to Twirp and took hers from her, turned, took about 3 steps and stopped to devour his prize. She blinked at his audacity, then pecked him and took her treat back. He screamed and backed off. Mama Storm ignored the whole thing. Looks like Twirp is the designated Idiot Instructor. Hopefully he learns from her instruction early.
 
I'd go catch bugs for like an hour every day for them. I also brought them all sorts of scraps and leftovers.
During Japanese Beetle season here (early July to late August), I went out almost every day to catch the blighters. I asked hubby about storing some in the freezer, for winter treats. I was amazed that he said it would be ok! So I have a gallon ziploc bag with quart sized ziploc bags of bugs in them.
 
Morning laugh…

Well I just went and walked up to my truck, opened the door and thought, who the hell put their crap on my passenger seat.

Then I realized it was one our crew’s truck….

Oooops! Just glad I didn’t start chucking stuff out on the RoW hahahahaha!

Silly Kelly Tax

I know I posted this already, but I still get a laugh when I see Butterscotch looking in the doorway, wantimg in 😊

Great idea!

I would give them to my kiddos also, terrible bugs, eat my plum trees and roses.

But the chickens love them, and I figure they are packed with protein.
 
Very wet Monday here! My dog barely charged the chicken coop 🙄 because he was so wet. Still working on training him to leave it. He'll get it eventually I hope.
Yesterday Liara got a grasshopper.

One of my kiddos caught a dragon fly and ate it; Red caught a small frog and ate it- she just happened to turn my way as she swallowed and all I could see were 2 hind legs either side of her beak before she glutched it back 😆
 
This made me laugh.
For context, Babs is just a very sweet and easy going hen. Nothing rattles her.
She adores Bernie. She was Eli’s BFF, and now she is sort of a confidante to the Pentagonists.
Sylvie however just discovered that Babs has quite an edge.
Listen to Babs tell Sylvie to go pound sand when Sylvie comes in to Babs’ nest box, chattering up a storm, when Babs wants some peace and quiet.
Who knew Babs could be so stern?!
