Interesting. Apparently my neighbor with the nine dogs had to throw a chicken back over the fence yesterday. Which boggles the mind cause 1. How would she get it before the dogs and catch it? 2. She ain’t throwing a chicken over that tall fence. If it was going over a fence it’d be the shorter fence not bordering the coop, 3. Why would she be at the back end of the property if so?

Bear in mind - of the bitties the only one without the wings clipped is the Brahma and it’s an 8 foot fence.
When hubs tucked in the girls we had all eight. When he let them out and gave them some crack we had all eight.

so we’ll be reviewing the cameras tomorrow to see what we can see.

You mean threw it over alive.

those shipping prices are terrible. Your a good man Twist. I like how you do the things that mean Christmas to so many. I wish I could. A tree, home made goodies.. My mom used to make fudge for all her girls and sometimes cookies (they were terrible) lol but we sure enjoyed getting them. Then one year she wasnt able and all the sisters lived by me so I took her recipe and did the same. Im not sure how disappointed I was when they didnt show up to get their fudge . It took me days to make. I never did that again but I had fudge to eat for a long while that year.
Soo, with that story comes this one. I cant make candy or cookies because my wrists wont let me stir. I dont know what I was thinking but I bought stuff for a fruit salad this year.Its cool whip (ya I know) yuck and cream cheese. They are supposed to be mixed together and I was told with a fork. I remember this being very hard to do. If I use a mixer wont the cool whip go flat or something ?
This is a question for anyone as I know Twist dont even use cool whip. LOL

Make sure the cream cheese has warmed up a bit. I whip it with a mixer and add the cool whip a little at a time so I don’t have cream cheese lumps. That’s how I make the topping for fruit pizza.

Thank you Camping ! cream cheese lumps suck. LOL I have had my share doing it by hand. so whip the cream cheese or du me, buy whipped cream cheese first then keep mixing til I get all the cool whip in? Do I have to be careful or do it on low or??

I don’t.

Its been at least 4 yrs I think. She is from New Zealand. I used to talk to her quite a bit then life happened. I got to talk to her today. Hopefully she will be back. I just called her mum.

With input from several people across several platforms, we have gotten the breeds down to: Buckeye Chantecler Delaware Dorking Orpington Wyandotte

Orpingtons are more like pet birds. Don’t do well in the heat Andy don’t live long.

I let it sit on the counter to soften, then I whip the devil out of it. When the cream cheese is fluffy, I start adding in the cool whip a little at a time. Start with low and see how it goes.
