I caught a mouse in the Chicken Palace today. I tossed the body to the chickens and they weren’t interested Then I turned around and it was gone.
Interesting!

They didn't want to eat in front of you. They were worried about grossing you out. Very considerate hens.

They were amazing back then Friesians were almost nonexistent in the US, that was mmm 30 some years ago lol if i want the Ferrari of horses I’ll have to manage it on my own now haha.

A Ferrari of anything is great choice!

Bedouins do not like black of dark horses - they get over heated in the sun AND they stand out against the sand - they don't blend in very well And Arabian horses are war horses first and foremost - used in raiding. A grey or chestnut blended in well with the desert sand and didn't get over heated like black or bay horses do!

House knowledge. I like that.

AND stallions were frowned upon - they were nothing but trouble, and noisy. Mares on the other hand were like gold, and they had more stamina (so it is told haha), also mares were very quiet during raids, and unlike stallions could run and piddle without stopping! Rather cruel I think! But I guess having to stop and piddle when you just raided a neighbouring tribe could be a bad thing!

So you would not find a stallion in a bedouin camp at all only a mare - she was worth more than gold and slept in the tents with the women who cared for them

Fascinating

Oh here she is! I sold her to this lady who in turn sold her to a lady out here in AB...

She's a beauty.

I’m just trying to picture Mr P and a Bielefelder hen’s chick, hatching out under one of those little fluffy broody girls, and being twice their “mom’s” size within 6 weeks!

That would be perfect!

I was probably sheltered from alot of the ugliness being a kid for sure. I do know that the farm my friends family ran did it differently as did those they associated with. I do however recall quite a few snotty folks at the shows though.

My best friends newest filly that just went to Scottsdale Nationals. I live vicariously lol

And you know how I like videos!

Plus Mani Monday. Not my favorite, but it’s seasonal and I can change it after Tuesday. We just got a new jacuzzi and these nail wraps do not appreciate it.
