Others will take over on the tax requests....unless you start auto-including them. Repeats of the same pic will be disqualified unless separated by at least 4 different tax pics submitted from the same person....View attachment 3534399(See, I'm including tax picture with the post)

@Ponypoor is quite vicious with the tax demands.
I usually do not post the same thing over and over. That photo has never been posted.

I didn't know there were different types.
I think I won it at a charity casino - roulette - I couldn't stop winning!

Tax - Pooh with bed-head.

Which iPod?
I am almost tempted to get the Empress to mandate that you send me all the tech you never use!

Sleeping Abigail to lure @Ponypoor into sleep so she quits asking for tax.

Spots excite me, I am an Appaloosa person

Look at Buttercup she sort of has spots

There is the iPod Classic, iPod Mini, iPod Nano, and iPod touch (of which I have three). The iPod line is officially dead, as Apple axed the line last year, and did not provide any iPods with iOS 16.
Too much for your brain? That means you need more chickens.
Tax-First generation iPod touch being threatened into working like a modern device.

Oh, and Abigail wants to see your iPod. Says she is a Apple fan. She is not a fan of the Samsung I am using.

I was wrong - Tassels is developing a nice set of mutton chops.
But also, is that blue I see?
@RebeccaBoyd - didn’t you warn me that might mean male?
Hmmm. WDYT.

I don’t see a big comb and no wattles…. But them what do I know? I thought Penne was a girl!

 

[Ponypoor]

Hey! Pay your not-being-nice tax!
If a iPod from 2008 is considered old then I am old as well.

An iPod is new tec, a mainframe is old tec older than I am!

Tassels is still looking like a pullet to me. I do not see pointy hackle feathers or sickle feathers. I see a non-existent comb and not a hint of wattles. I also do not see any copper at all on her. I would think being half maran if she were a cockerel the marans rooster markings would be dominate. If so by now you would already have spotted copper appearing on her shoulders and back and more importantly neck. I can say every single half marans black boy I have produced have inherited the copper markings. I have not produced a solid black male.

I have been outside 3 hours mowing grass. In that time I have been able to really take a good observation of the flock. I cannot begin to express the amount of guilt I feel by trying to force my flock into being a 3 rooster flock just because I wanted to keep Twig. Not one single crow to be heard. Bubba went to a spot already mowed in the yard and just pretty much fell over. He scared me the way he flopped. I come to him only to find him stretched out napping in the sun. I had the entire side yard mowed which takes the longest and had finished a break before he woke up. One point Branch and several of the hens came and joined him while the others were following behind me eating bugs. The boys let me know months ago it would not work. Instead of listening to them in my selfishness for wanting to keep a 3rd rooster I added undue stress to them and the girls.

I believe Apple considers it so old it is vintage.
