I think I have really messed up. Dakota wanted to come inside the house. I fed her some oatmeal, and the way she ate so fast, I called her a dinosaur. She got really mad 😡 stormed out of the kitchen and went to my office. She’s under my desk now and won’t come out.
How does she even know what a dinosaur is? :idunnoHow could she take such offense by that comment?
I guess we should all be careful about what we say to our chooks! :eek:
 
We had very bad thunderstorms last night. It looks like the hail went just to the north of us.

Wake up ladies

Same here- you must be getting the same weather system it’s a huge system!
@Ponypoor this one is for you - it really couldn't wait for Sunday!

I poured rain and thundered from 3am till about 6:30am - the horses were not happy to be made to go outside hahaha, but it was really warm, of course then the chickens all wanted to go outside! In the dark no less! Or they nuts! That’s when the lions and tigers are out!

I am a chicken I will chase those lions away!

Hello FBA. I wanted to share my sad news, though most of you who know my chickens may have already read it on my thread. My ex-batt Cannelle, who had not been well since the end of January, died Monday night. She had ascites, and had been having issues that began as a reproductive disorder for a year. It's not a surprise but I feel I have lost a special friend.

Cannelle in December 2022, and the remembrance post I wrote.

I haven't been posting for two weeks and have fallen behind. I don't want to come here just to drop some bad news, so I will be back on for some time- have to catch up before it's my turn to do the synopsis 🤣.

And I have a cute story to share on a more optimistic note- circle of life and all that. It's not about chickens though so I will pay tax 😊. The sheeps came back from spending winter in the plain at the end of January. They are staying in their new mountain shelter for lambing season, so the LGD's were sent back up there with them. The oldest, a Great Pyrenneese called Alice, looked very tired and was staying inside the little goat stable a week before the sheeps arrived. Everyone thought she was isolating to die so they brought her some hay for warmth, food, and left her quiet. But just when the sheeps came back, when they went to see her, they found a surprise - she had given birth to a puppy ! Because there was only one and Alice is so old, it didn't show. It is healthy and growing up fine and Marion and Maxime, the owners, are very happy as usually they are attributed adult LGD'S by the state and they are a lot more difficult to work with than a baby that will grow next to the herd.

Near where the ewes stay to lamb.

Anyone who takes on the special job of caring for ex-battery hens is a real gem in my book. You and others like @Marie2020 are wonderful people.

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Her being an ex-bat does not make it any easier. They each have their own special places in our hearts. :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs
