He had best get back to us.

Worry warts! I’m back fine and safe. Perfect day, soft landing and only one fire to report (small one, contained by TCFD)

I don't know about you but I want a full report chapter and verse. I'm thinking of posting that man a clock in and out machine so I can keep track on him.

Maybe I'll get that man chipped, it works for my animal's

And your mother wears army boots!

this is Granny Violet,
She is 3, she laid non stop for 2 years, then she would go weeks laying eggs and then go 3X's a week, now, this last 2 weeks she has only laid 3 eggs and last Sat. she laid one that was a good sized egg, membrane in tack but no shell.
she has access to View attachment 2710881 this, all she wants, but she is just older and her body is tired and I dont worry about if she doesn't lay an egg. She is happy, she eats, drinks, digs in the dirt. So, this is just the way it is.

Now now Alex, no checking the ladies or in your words, it won't be pretty.

Are you home now?

No I decided to fly north to Alaska (said sarcastically)!!!

But there is a fire burning in my heart! Rocks-Ann was waiting for me at the door to the run. And did her “daddy pick me up” little scratch at the ground by my feet. She’s been with me for an hour now

I liked reading this, thanks. It struck me there's an interesting correlation to cats and the various ways we keep them in a lot of what you write. How is it that you've taken to chickens but not to cats? I don't mean this confrontationally, I mean it in a friendly way. Just wondering if you've had any insight on that.

Shad is allergic to cats.

Why are the mosquitos hanging out in there do you think? Is it damp anywhere? Could they have bred there? Another thought is that mosquitos do not like light areas, they prefer dark places, that's why in the tropics the walls are often painted white. Perhaps during the day (when not roosting) a bright light might discourage congregations of mosquitos in there.

Mozzie are attracted to body heat. My coop is horrendous in summer. I am still looking for a really effective way to control them.
