:lauWhoa! I didn't get expelled because of anything I had done. My Old Man and Mum got me expelled.
I'm not sure I can afford the chicken pic tax to tell the story.
I'll go and ask a few to strike some poses for me.
I'll toss in a few chicken pics to help pay the tax Shad.

I'm all ears.....er, eyes. 👂.....👀
 
I was saving this one for Friday.

Sleeping In

I have not seen this before and I am wondering if I should be concerned. The flock has been out of the coop for 30 minutes now. Aurora is still roosted. Thoughts?

Bob, I will have to follow up tomorrow to see what happened here. I personally would be watching her closely. Would you believe it's 12:46am here in California and I am STILL in a board meeting?
 
Unfortunately I am an expert on this topic. Half inch square hardware cloth will exclude rats and most mice but I have seen a small mouse squeeze through even that (with difficulty). So that is the order of magnitude - anything more than a half inch gap and at least the mice will just march right in.

I think we should bequeath you with an honorary doctorate in rodentology. ;)
 
Sadly, I have been forbidden the Highland Giant Land Chicken. I keep trying though, because they look like little teddy bears when they are babies! I am thinking about attempting to invoke some sort of Cultural Rights Movement, or an argument based on my Ancestral heritage, but as the Forbidding party is also of similar descent I have made little headway on this front. Sigh. Their arguments against consist of 1: Horns are scary and 2: they are a smaller and far more slow growing Beef Cattle Breed. And yet this genetic anomaly cropped up this year

I say this is an anomaly because we have a polled pure bred red Hereford herd primarily, with 3 recent “Hereford” additions of (very) questionable breeding, one Short Horn/red Angus x, and two Hereford black angus x. Our black Angus bull also definitely carries some Red Angus genes. Black is a dominant coat colour, and polled (hornless) is also a dominant gene, as is the white face of the Herefords. I really wish I had been doing the cows last year, as then We would know who the mother of this little guy is. But alas, Family Drama. In short our herd should all have black coats (nope) not have any horns ( 😂 ) and should all have white faces (got this one mostly right at least)
Rats! You were my last, best hope! 🤣 And they really are the cutest little teddy bears as youngsters. Since I can't have one in the backyard, I wonder if I could hide one in the basement?....
