Well played.

Wow that’s a fair chunk of snow, I know here there are warnings out for all of the Atlantic provinces. Such a strange year for snow and cold - lack there of.

I sure hope they are wrong with the snow predictions for you. Hopefully you don’t have to drive anywhere in it, and if so please be careful.

I was supposed to go somewhere on Saturday but I suppose I'm going to hunker down and ride it out at home. I enjoy a good must stay home storm every once in a while.

I want a bearded chicken so bad seeing that glorious pic!

She is truly special in so many ways.

Be careful with the cheapy drones. Those will lose connection if they go too far from the controller as they usually use some form of wifi signal that doesn't go far.

Oh yeah for sure. This one is supposed to auto-land if it goes out of range. He hasn't done anything daring with it other than try a few flips haha.

Wow you do have snow don’t you?! Have maybe an inch. And it’s supposed to turn mild again so it will likely melt.

The chooks will be happy this weekend if it’s mild they can be outside doing chicken stuff! And I will do Hooman stuff - go rescue butterscotch when she flies over the fence a dozen times

Not currently, it's supposed to start early Saturday and last all weekend though!
I'll try to get out there tomorrow to do a coop clean and toss out some fresh straw. I'll be shoveling garden gold out of there come spring! Or at least it'll go into a pile to age haha.

Chickens make food (eggs), so isn't it on topic?

Tax: Abigail.
(I still want another Speckled Sussex. That bird was the funniest, silliest, chicken I've ever had).

They have personality that is for sure. Now that I know serial stalker turned serial pecker Dottie is only doing this for attention and affection I am again happy with my choice on them. The stalking is never ending, always right there a few steps behind, growling and talking to me. I had better at some point stop and bend over to at least pet her during one of my trips outside. If I go more then 2 without petting her, she lets me know by pecking my pant legs. Spot is a nosy busybody as well, she also watches me. She just does not need to be touched like her sister. As long as she can see what I am doing and be in range incase food is offered she is happy.

Those Marshmallows have muddy tails. What have they been running under?

It has rained practically every other day for 2 weeks. Several areas of the backyard is still a mudhole. White chickens who like to dig and mud is not a good combo. To top it off it is cold and 2 of the Marshmallows are in desperate need of a booty bath. If I did one now though they would have to stay in overnight.

Mine will return to home. I haven't tested that yet because I don't want to risk it.
Once he gets used to flying if he ends up liking it you may just end up with a bunch of drone stuff.
Took this here:

(San Jacinto Plaza, El Paso, Texas).

Abigail never really followed me around. She was the easiest to catch, though. She hated being held. If you want to carry her, you have to let her dig her claws into your arm, otherwise she'd smack you in the face. Hard. Once she was with you, she'd either put up with you, or she'd jump onto another object. She also loved remotes as launchpads and could hold her poop.

This food thread needs some tax at this point. You are really off the chicken track.
