Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

Ok… so I’m in a 1997 RV and we have a propane stove/oven. I still have to fix the stove top but I have won the battle for the oven! It took a couple hours of fiddling though because of the awkward space. I have ceded the under sink, oven, and fridge drawers and cabinets to the mice. They also now hold the furnace (though I spray foamed the heck out of the ducts into the RV from it) space under the bathtub, and bathroom lower cabinet. I have won back our sock drawers and the water heater area below them.

I’m going to run the Hardware cloth all along the back. That should do it.

Great job! Bookmarked for tips when I get a chance to look at our new one, top and oven. That must have been a real bear to get back in there by the pilot / igniter.

Yes, and I know @featherhead007 agrees too. The situation is 24/7, you are talking about watching out for her all night too- that's very hard to do, you need at least a third person to help if you're doing it in shifts. Been there

I concur!

@rural mouse here is my go at comb and feet for the black one. I have no clue on the comb it is very hard to see. If I had to guess I would say straight/single or whatever that kind is called. I don’t know about the feet either except I think they are pretty cool looking. All I can be sure of is this one does not like the camera and has a cute white fluffy butt!

We don’t think that’s a little black australorp? I’ve had trouble keeping up on all this.

Well done, Kris!

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

My winter travel kit stays in the car year round....

Can you/do you evaluate him in any way? Are you able to give constructive feedback about this to him or his boss???? You have important work and, from what I hear, it is tough getting enough employees in all healthcare sector atm. why would he want to do this? 1 rigorous thought question that involves more than one topic covered is okay; trick questions are not! Tell him a well trained, seasoned educator said so!

I hate to say this, but he must have a confidence issue (he may appear cocky as a disguise....) Usually confident, well adjusted individuals don't need to 'trick' others into doing poorly. Generally only those that really aren't self confident (whether they exude confidence it or not), or just plain 'mean' people, or power hungry people need to have the 'gottcha' moments that there isn't a call for.

Sorry, as a teacher, bullying, condescending, intimidating behavior really p**s me off. Counter productive, scarring, etc, etc. If you are there to train/teach, then TRAIN & TEACH!!!!

Bless you for even trying to deal with him!
