Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I am sorry.

Although @bgmathteach did guess correctly, and really there is a strong hint in my complete lack of understanding of breeds! I believe the other two are true breeds so hopefully that will make amends (though I worry you will be upset at both of them too).

I'm sorry. I did not mean to ruin your fun. I just have this thing about trick questions. I am working with a guy that loves them and he aggravates me. The point of a test is to see if people have learned the material not to trick them and confuse them. Please forgive me it is raw nerve right now. I wholeheartedly apologize. I typed without thinking.

You got the chicks you wanted. Why would I be upset over that? I just want you to be happy. That's all that matters to me. I want them to grow up healthy and as you wanted.

So your grandmother would have went into fits if she was told my hens eat snakes right.

Haha yup!

My silkie killed and ate a snake!!! It was both awesome and creepy

I put away all my heated watering stuff too - I am not unpacking it - I will go out with warm water for a few days. It is a form of denial on my part! It has been snowing on and off all day but I don't think there will be enough that I will need to shovel.

I really don't like using them. They are difficult to handle. I almost pulled the heater out of the Hut as well. Blech.

Hmmmm tricky situation with a trickster co-worker....

Have you tried bribing him with eggs ? I am not one for puzzles, so if a worker tries to puzzle me or play mind games I am now bribing them with eggs. Be nice you get eggs, be bad I loose your timesheet

 

[bgmathteach]

Truthfully, I should not have had to try and bribe her with white laying hens as I already have 2 that lay white eggs.

I have ducks. Would you like me to express ship a dozen duck eggs? Shells are white, size is jumbo to 'jumbo+! Fed organic feed, free range as much as possible, large pen....AND....lots of 'mucking around' in any and every mud puddle they can find!!

Hope at least you are feeling betterStay snug & warm inside as much as possible...don't want you drawing out the 'feeling like' any longer than absolutely necessary.

Despite a day out in the snow and wind yesterday so they could free range I am feeling better. They did not get free range time today. I am not willing to draw out the sickness any longer. They did not want out in this crap anyway. They spent most of the day inside.

I have learnt to keep winter gear handy until May two four long weekend (that's Victoria Day long weekend here around May 24th).

You could always bleach the shells for her too if that would make her feel better.

No I am sorry. I didn't mean to upset you or to deceive anyone.
I never actually said 'guess the breed', I was asked 'what kind they are' and said I wouldn't share until I knew their names but all guesses welcome. Several have guessed Easter Egger.

No hard feelings?
