Happy Easter Sunday everyone.

My sister gave me a brooch recently which I wanted to share as it's perfect for Easter.

This look in her eyes is perfect for chicken tax. She could be saying, "Darn right expensive, get back to talking about us! Also - you didn't get me in frame, what's up with that?"

They did not always line up for me in front of one of the coop cams. It's her fault, not mine.

It is 2am Caturday morning and she has places to go and trouble to make.

Wonderful photo! Striding with purpose!

Bob, show me a pic of you in a rabbit suit, (I gotta see this)!

I can't say that there is one of those. Sorry.

Another disappointment today. The store owner, I received my new free hen from, left this morning. I went to the store to tell him just how much she fits in my tribe, and to thank him again. He is opening a new store a thousand miles from here. I guess business is business. This is her, with Jaffar, my roo, and they are inseparable!

I so happy for Jaffar. It is always wonderful to have a new friend. I sad for you that one of yours is moving away.

You don't owe me anything Bob.
I was on the verge of leaving BYC when I found your and MJ's and Ribh's thread.
I had tried a few threads before and they all ended up largely people whinging about their lives, their health, their friends health, their dogs, cats and goldfish.
I joined BYC to talk about chickens. Your thread enabled me to do that.

Let's just say you have given me a very special gift for which I am extremely grateful.

It’s really no different than it has been the past several years. I think it’s just that I got to the breaking point. I’ll be fine. I’ve been a rock for many, many years and now will be no different. I just had a patch of weakness. Tried to lean on someone I should be able to lean on, but instead was faced with defensiveness, anger and accusations. Ego is a very powerful thing, sadly.

You might be very tired, that usually makes stress extra hard (and stress makes it hard to get rest too). We're rooting for you here!

Lovely. Ime it is true that mum does introduce her chicks to the keeper. Although I see most hatchings, there does come a point when mum has got the chicks away from the nest and makes a deliberate effort to show the chicks to me.
The chicks don't usually seem that impressed but something must go on because I become a safe spot, even if they are a little nervous.

Mum is telling them that you are a good dude. They are fearful of "new" but mum is reassuring them.
