There is a funny relationship between flexi and Agatha. Flexi pushes Agatha away from food but they seem to hang out last thing together. Flexi swings from princess too Agatha so I can't work out who her bestie is

Maybe you are the “bestie”

I hope princess and Tina connect the same way.

The two friends have reunited again. i havent posted about it here because i wasnt sure it was to major to post about, but i think its worth mentioning now. so Isbe and emily (the giant and the small girl) have been in a feud recently. Emily was quite sad because that was her best friend and i guess in turn took a bit of her anger out on rizo. So here we are, a little bully triangle with rizo bullying isbe isbe bullying emily and emily bullying rizo. this all started with isbe laying her first egg because it got her a little grumpy. It did get better, its not like she beat up on emily, but she did ignore her and wouldnt go with her like she did before, leaving emily wandering the woods alone while rizo and isbe buddied up. Today it looks like their back to normal and emily is very happy. emily seems to test her luck and will attempt to scoot next to isbe, and isbe will usually walk away. But now their fine and seem to be back to normal. isbe let emily groom her face and their all good. sorry for all the words and that was probably very confusing. I thought it just might be a interesting story to share, anyway i think Rizo is about to lay her first egg. Phew! That was long!

I am glad they have made up. Good friends are hard to find.

They don't always have a bestie. Mine do normally pair up when free ranging though.

The chickens now have a clear path to the porch. I'm not going to lie, I only started the path. When I went out a few of the kids were out playing including the one who loves my chickens. He ran over and asked what I was doing and I told him why I was clearing a path. He's like "that looks like fun can I help". Here have the shovel have at it. While he cleared the path I refilled feeders, and carried water out to the horses and chickens for the 2nd time today as the hose is frozen. He did such a good job and even swept off the steps and porch that I gave him $5 for his work. I love the neighborhood kids. He also volunteered to help with the stalls in a little bit but I declined. That is what I have a 13 almost 14 year old for.

My father was 7 when he showed a interest in helping out with animal's, that was early last century.
He landed up breaking in horses (I don't know why but I hate that term) and became a jockey until the last ww2 broke out.

I guess I'm saying that child may have found his place early in his life .

That was a wise move making him wait until he is older with the horses.
My father took a huge risk at such a young age, but times would have been a heck of a lot different a hundred years ago in the UK.
