I'm a bit late to the lamp party, but nonetheless chipping in with the praise! Those lamps are lovely! Do you have a shop on etsy?

I picked Fat Bird up today. She's getting on in years and isn't really up for the rushing about of the youngsters. She used to have Ruffles as company but now if I find she's not with the tribe, I go and look for her. It took about six years before I could pick her up without a fuss. She comes to me now when she hears me coming. Most times I just herd her along which she seems happy with. She just want's a bit of protection when moving across open ground.

That is the sweetest vision. I have to shepherd my chickens from time to time. It's nice to be able to make them feel more secure.

She's a bit of a stop out is Maleficent.

I don't know if she would be upset if she new you called her that or not?

I’m also not familiar with that turn of phrase... I read it to say she is a stunner, as a compliment, let’s hope she takes it take way as well. Chickens are obviously multi lingual and fluent in all the different human languages we use to praise their magnificence Just like cats!

That's why my chickens are always having big conversations that I can't understand!

A stop out is someone who stays out instead of coming home - they stop out. Someone who imbibes while others sleep. Shad is using the term with warmth and camaraderie, but it's sometimes used as a mild insult: "he's a dirty stop out these days"

I understood what the phrase meant and I believe it can be both an insult or a compliment, correct? I was trying to display my knowledge of the phrase and the limitations sometimes of the written word and be a little funny.

I believe I failed. It happens.

Australians have this annoying habit of using insults as terms of endearment.

That’s adorable. My flock likes protection when crossing open ground, too. It’s so stinkin’ cute, I can hardly stand it. If I go stand out on the road (really just an easement to a single property beyond ours,) they’ll all run across in single file right beside me. Some will jut their necks and flap, too, while one or two will fly!

I understood that you knew what Shad meant. I was explaining for @Kris5902 I really need to be less school marmy!
