I had to separate Flash from the other chooks. She needs to calm down! That’s what I do when I’m upset, I separate myself from the issue. (I can’t shoot everyone!)

Speaking of Chiquita I have to show you all something. I have had her for 10 months now, and when she first arrived she looked rough.
This was her the first night.

Look at her now, she looks like a completely different hen. She has gained weight and her feathers and color is just gorgeous. These were taken just a few minutes ago. My angry floof really is living her best life.

Wonder why they are cranky? My gals were like that the other day…

No, sadly, my chooks never took to the xylophone The ONLY times they had seemed the slightest bit interested was when I smeared some peanut butter mixed with scratch on it.

My Geese are doing well. When they hear me talk, they call out (kinda loudly, I might say) And, when I let them out of the coop/run for free range time in the afternoon, they follow me around as I go let everyone out. If I stop & turn, they freeze, I start moving again, and they do, too! Like a game of freeze!!. However, if I stop and stoop down & start talking to them, they talk back and approach. They side-step my gentle attempts at touch, though But, they will readily eat out of my hand, or gently 'nibble' my fingers or clothing to 'explore it'. I do give them a stern 'NO' if they bite hard or tug hard. I'm fine with curiosity, but not hurting, and I don't want them to get bad habits......

Thanks for asking

They sound funny and lovely!

Yeah, that’s what it means here. So I was surprised to see ‘funny ugly’, maybe it’s niche location-specific?

Oh my!!!….

Haven’t heard that one

Oh boy now I have the giggles!!! Won’t EVER be able to use that one again, oh my innocence has been shattered

Tax just because…
