What’s with Brad? What’s with her bandaged leg? What a Brat

Brad is a jerk. I love Brad, I want Brad. To hear mom tell it when he was younger Branch was on the same path to be like Brad. Lies I tell you, Lies. She broke her ankle and needed surgery is the reason for the bandage.

More Brad. For no other reason then to make people smile.

There the chooks, 2 dogs (1 supposed to be FIL, but clamed MIL), a cat (supposed to be MIL but claimed FIL), and 4 horses and the niece's dog. They also bought hunting tags on Monday. Archery season opened yesterday. No idea how much hunting will actually be done as they process it all themselves (MIL being the head honcho on turning much into jerky, sausage, and kielbasa). BIL pulled his camper out of hunting camp, where it usually lives for the duration of the season. Off season, it's parked in the yard next to FIL's camper. They're staying in it for a while, too, so will also be there. His wife is almost as deeply involved in the meat processing so will likely head up that part, now.

FIL is already thinking on cutting costs so will likely get rid of his camper. Mentioned used to camp out alone in a tent and idea of getting a new tent. We all promptly brought up idea of the tent camper shell for a pick up truck as a better idea. None of us like the idea of him camping out alone.

I'm hoping that he takes his brother with him if he does go camping. The brother has already been down this road and is facing the prospect of losing a second wife in the nearest future.

Some of the "you moved at the wrong moment" picsView attachment 3611001Granite may be a boy. Comb is looking somewhat pinkish.

View attachment 3611002Nimbus, I think? Cumulo would pop up head with something behind to help highlight the shape when the camera was pointed elsewhere.

View attachment 3611003And Cardhu posed in just the right spot to NOT be able to see comb/crest possibilities. Based upon the salmony tones showing on the breast, hoping this one's a pullet.

View attachment 3611009Quartz is showing no pink yet, and has feathers coming down the spine. Can't quite tell if those have color or just need to spread from the pin a bit more to remove the shadows.

Boy oh boy! Are they ever growing such lovely chickies, Cardhu is a different colour isn’t she?

So was Brad the Brat attacking her bandage or is he always Bratty Brad

Did I ever tell you the story of one of my BR girls?

The chooks were free ranging, and I went inside for a minute, then came back out. One of my BRs jumped up on the step railing to say 'hi' (really, to see if I had any treats). Of course, I loved the fact that she 'came to say hello', and gave her a mealworm (just one). Well every time after that, if she was out and saw me, she would hop up on the railing and give me a little squawk - and I would talk to her and give her a mealworm.

Well, one time I was in a rush to an appointment (hubby was home), came running out the door - she saw me and ran & flew up on the railing - I breezed right by. She turned around and Squawked at the top of her lungs - yelling at me!!!
Hubby just grinned and said 'Hmmm, who has who trained????"

Um, yes, dear, they are pretty good at training me!

Chicken gossip corner. They are plotting to extort more treats from me.

(P.S. Do you like my 4 legged, headless hen? Pretty special, huh! - one of these days I will get better at picture taking!

Actually you did tell that story before. But it’s still just as hilarious

For those of you with facebook here is a video for you all. I know it should not, but this video makes me smile. There are some days where I think everybody wants to "be like Brad." It helps that the little sh!t is a silkie.

If Bernie ever files a class action lawsuit claiming that I do not provide sufficient food at the Chicken Palace, please could someone submit these photos as part of my defense?
How does she not just tip over and face-plant when she leans forward like that?!
