Kiki's White Trash and or Nerdy Birthday Bash Funeral

[CindyinSD]

I also free range mine most days and it’s harder for me to keep track of everybody the more I have. Not that I need to but I am paranoid and go count them all several times throughout the day when they’re out or if I don’t see them

Ohmygoodness! I really, really don't know how many I have. I love the way they all come running when they see me, though.

Read this the other day;

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

Well... I know I can pitch manure...

What dummy came up with that hogwash?

I just have never had a flock that couldn't figure out how to get back in the coop at night. And herding chickens is a real pain in the butt!

Yeah, chickens don't herd very well, do they? Geese, turkeys, yes. Ducks, maybe a little—if you have two people. Chickens? Yeah, right.

Not these ones lol. As soon as the tom matured he turned into a real asshole, always guarding their back door and not letting anyone in or out.
They roost on their patio and poop everywhere; difficult to get back into the coop, but good herding practice for their Aussie puppy.
Doesn't make them good or bad, but they won't be missed.

I feed everyone at night. My turkeys flock all around me as I carry their feed bucket toward their yard. There are a couple of them that hop out at night and greet me at the back door as I go to let the rest out in the morning. I don't make them sleep inside, though. They like the open sky above them—even with rain or snow or wind. Hail, they draw the line at.

was this bug eating this poor fly

Yes it was eating the fly. It pierces the abdomen with its proboscis and sucks its prey dry.

Ducks herd very well. Thats what we started our Aussie on.
