Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Found another pullet egg this morning, slightly biggerView attachment 3685065The egg on the left is the new one. With the one from the other day for size change. Same color as Jessica's eggs, so I'm really thinking it's Chia. She's also being accepted in with the adults, while Havoc, Enigma, and Shan are not yet. Shan is the pinkest, so I think she's going to go with her father's time line rather than her mother's and be the next to lay.

So eggciting! I am glad I am home right now to see who is laying were also so they can enjoy the lovely weather - I know this can’t last so taking advantage of it - gosh I friggin hate the cold and snow

As others have said, you have pretty handwriting.
I have horrible handwriting but I think it is mostly joined up.

If I concentrate I can write well, but these day I do a mix of ‘joined-up’, print, and short hand hahaha. More like chicken scratches

Looks refreshing
I give my birds water but they like to put one claw on the bowl rim while drinking and sometimes tip it over
Then they act like it's my fault

Welcome to my nightmare

Those witches as you called them, Rosie would flourish under their teachings. From the very beginning she has had the older close to retiring mean teachers. I never called them mean, this came from people we knew whose children had them in the past. It was always you need to switch her out of so and so's class, they are always yelling at the kids. I never did. I had old school style teachers in school and they were the ones who taught me things that I still remember. She has loved them all and excelled. Those older "mean" teachers push their students. She also learned respect from them as they did not put up with nonsense. I backed the teachers up until they completely did away with corporal punishment in schools 2 years ago. She saw me sign the permission form each year that was followed up with the same warning. You get paddled in school you will get another as soon as you get home. She has never been sent to the principals office. I cannot say the same about myself, paddled 3 times before 4th grade, but I needed them. Her favorite teacher so far in high school she is in one of his classes a 2nd year. He was her physics teacher last year and this years forensics teacher. Let me tell you that child has earned her grades in that class and he would have killed me. Monday through Friday homework that needs to be turned in by midnight online. He grades it, no oh you did it you get full credit. If it is wrong points taken off. Weekly quizzes and a test every 2 weeks. We are not talking small assignments either, in physics it was 2 full pages of problems. Definitions and outlines. Same with forensics. 1st 9 weeks of forensics she got a 89.85, he does not believe in rounding up. That is ok, I know how hard she has worked and if she is proud of that grade and believes she did her best I am happy with it as well. He is actually becoming a mentor for her and she goes to him for advise. She wants to work in forensics when she is done with school. He is retired military and then was a cop for 20 years before he took up teaching. In his forensics class he brings first hand knowledge of the procedures and she comes home and tells me everything. The 2 of them are mapping out what classes that are offered at the high school she NEEDs to take and he is advising her on colleges. Her favorite day so far was when he had a former collogue bring a lie detector test to the school and demonstrate it. She came home and said Mr. Hunt got put in the hot seat and I had fun. The drawback, she is no fun anymore watching favorite tv shows like CSI or NCIS. I get, it does not work that way, that is wrong. Dang you Mr. Hunt.
