I learned I can no longer wear my croc 'slides' in the big coop.. Bruiser thought my toes were vienna sausages for chickens and just had to taste one of them. He may be the biggest and best built roo out of the 3, and he's not flighty or aggressive (well once when I was stealing a hen of his).... But Charlie is sweet as cherry pie. He and Henrietta got to drink the watermelon juice from the bowl of watermelon I took out there. Ever the gentleman he is.

I had one steal my tea I was drinking. I drank it anyway. LOL

Morning Pert and Cap, everyone else too!

I need to do the feed run today also. Amazing how much they waste....er.....eat.

@Granny Hatchet I teared up when I saw the picture of your dog. My Bunny, who died three years ago, could have been a twin to your dog only she was black and grey. Such a sweet girl. Her passion in life was her 'cookies' and she never met a person she didn't like. Our first year here on our farm, she fell into the creek when it was at flood stage and got stuck on a ledge. I tied a rope around my waist that my husband had control of and went in out after her. I was able to snare her by her collar and the scruff of her neck and told her to swim to daddy. She did with me hanging on to her.

I miss her to this day.

Im sorry for your loss . You were very brave going down there to rescue her. I got this bad boy from the Amish while I had one of my GKs living w/ me.
I let them (3) out today and Star is going or gone deaf and wouldnt come in. Well I smacked my hands and Bandit went flying after her and got his body behind hers and pushed her to the house ! I was amazed . I never trained him for anything like that.

It's amazing just how far animals will go to aid a pack mate.

You all should live around the Amish. It's a hoot to watch the kids run around barefooted as I did as a child. Playing in the dirt, running around with the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, poop and all. Once watched a kid catch water in a dirty glass he had found on the ground from off the roof of the barn...and drink it.

Amazingly enough, they don't get sick any more than regular kids do and if they do they don't run to the doc for antibiotics with every sniffle. Mom slaps a poultice on them, puts them to bed for a couple of days then you're good as new.

I read somewhere that other than genetic diseases from inbreeding and cardio vascular disease from eating a high fat diet, they are for the most part a pretty healthy bunch.

Then there was the little kid from up the road who jumped up out of the tall grass in front of his dad who was using a sickle bar mower to cut hay with his team of horses and managed to get one foot cut off and the other almost.....and the fact that a lot of Amish men are missing fingers from using big saws to cut timber and wood....On second thought, never mind about the healthier part. Let's just say they aren't germaphobes.

Cardiovascular disease is not caused by a high fat diet, if said fat is animal fat and not seed oil or plant based oil.

It's been proven that most clogged arteries are caused by inflamation. Most of which comes from wheat products.. Cholesterol is used to maintain arterial health and brain function, yet doctors are still pushing the big pharma story that you need drugs to lower cholesterol and fat intake.
