Darn that autocorrect

Both @notabitail and I were foiled by it this week

How was I foiled by it?

My broodies didn't peck me. None of them. Blueberry is not broody but she pinches like all heck. Eggshellsea isn't broody either but she pecks but not too hard.

Mine just looked at me

Oh no. Not

Haha, here is what my run looks like:

The chickens were not impressed especially since I wasn't home to shovel them paths.

Aurora Queen of FBA would not take a bribe. (I don’t think?). I could try! And yes, Jaffar asks me about it every day.

It is not a bribe - it is payment for services/her time. (Time is money, don't you know!)

Time is money, and I spend a fortune $$ being on this website. (But it’s worth it)

I have two nesting budgies!!! They are both brooding a few eggs and I hope to have some new babies really soon! Two nests will some VERY nippy moms!

I need to point out that I would never do anything to Branch that would physically harm him or stress him out in any way for my amusement. That little rooster is too special to me. I have found in some cases through necessity that he loves to be bathed, blow dried and wrapped in towels. That was learned when he tried to drown himself as a chick and then when he stupidly ninja kicked a coffee can full of used motor oil on himself. He also loves to be brushed. I can take one of the horse curry combs to him and he melts and purrs. Would i dye his feathers if it were possible? Absolutely not. Would I paint his toenails with nail polish.....the thought has crossed my mind a time or two, but I have not. I have massaged his feet with mineral oil after I have worked on his spurs, he does enjoy that. The thing with Branch is he craves attention and loves to be handled. I would not attempt any of this with the other chickens, well, maybe Owly. She also seems to be on Branch's level with craving attention. I have taken a toothbrush to her beard and muffs to comb them out. When she was transitioning from chick down to feathers her muffs had a few stray feathers that started to bother her eyes. It put her to sleep. I see absolutely nothing wrong with plopping a hat on your chickens head if the worst thing they are going to do is shake their head to make it fall off. Or for that matter sending a stick on googly eye flying off their head poof with a shake.

I remember everything you said about Branch. He’s one special rooster, that’s for sure. I remember that motor oil incident, and went through my entire yard looking for anything that could be a problem for my chooks.

Some of the more exclusive features of this site are available but cost $5.00 entry fees and there’s several.
Yes I’m kidding!
