Klopklop, which is the girl?

great names. Do your chickens have names?

Everyone names a chicken now and then, they just deny it.

Klopper as much as I like pictures I have to forbid you from posting anymore kitten pictures. I can feel myself weakening and I do not want a cat!

The tan/white one is the girl I believe based on my google searches on how to sex a cat.

And yes, some of the chickens have names. Usually the ones that I can tell apart by look or habit.

We have:
Lucille, Henrietta, Gloria, petunia, Inga, Enid, Helga, Bernice, Buck, Conrad, RedChicken, WhiteChicken, and more

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Grand kids are the best. I always told my three boys that what comes around goes around. Forgot all about it until my middle son once said "I don't know what I did when I was growing up but I am getting it two-fold here." My now eleven year old grandson told me this past summer that he cannot wait to have his own grandchildren. LOL.

Cats are animals too!

I know and I love cats, but I have a slight allergy to them that aggravates my lung problems. When we lost our last cat, I found I could breath through my nose!


Oh , and who doesn't like kittens? Even cat haters like them.

Tis true. DW doesn't really care for cats but likes the kittens

First off to prove to you naysayers I am a great catch, I made dinner for the peach thief.


Secondly, BlanchRanch I think you should check out this craigslist ad.

Nice looking jacket. What size is it? Do you take payments? What's your interest rate?

I like all the pup pup talk. I personally would never own a lab. I have never met one with any brains and they are socially obnoxious in the dog world. My DS Aussie can't stand labs; I thought it was just him, but there was a whole article that it is fairly common in herding dogs to dislike good natured bobble headed fools. As for small dogs, snappy & yippy is the fault of the owner. Most of these dogs are just plain scared because the rest of the world is bigger then they are & the owner is doing nothing to make them feel secure so it's a case of I'll get you before you get me. When I met DH he has a toy poodle, she took to me &,even though I never figured I was a little dog person, she developed manner & stopped being yippy when she knew I was there for her & not just let people grab/pet her because she was little & cute. I'm still a herding dog person, LOVE my Aussies, and if there ever is a Belgium Tervuren needing rescue I'm your gal. Herding dogs are so fun to train, and easy.

My bil owned a lab that I thought was stupid. (I was maybe 17 or around that age at the time) As I got older and wiser, I realized it wasn't the dogs fault. It was a young dog when my bil bought it, they lived in the cities and if they ever brought it along when they came out to the farm, they would tie it up so it wouldn't "run away". I now feel so sorry for the poor thing. Luckily my sister talked him into selling it so it wasn't in that situation for very long.

We did have a lab cross one time that was one of the smartest dogs and very friendly with everyone. He was a very good protector of my chickens. He would break up the roosters when he thought they had fought long enough. He had some problems with the cluck hens though, as they wouldn't back down from him, he could never decide what to do with the baby chicks if they started cheeping. He was also an expert skunk killer, he would jump in, grab them by the neck and break it without ever getting sprayed.

Hot sauce works too. We should have saved all the giblets in one batch and had a giblet and beer party!

Next year.

Hey, would you be willing to take some cute little kittens (and their mama) as payment for that jacket you have posted on craigslist.

You really do need some cats around your place. Just think of all the money you would save on feed lose from the mice.....



You might not have to sell your services anymore, you could just donate your gift to all us poor ignoramouseseseses.

Morning, all!

Gave up last  night and left the broody in her nest.  Watch, after I bring Ralphie's creamer roo home, next spring no one will go broody 


I'm thinking next spring, anyone who wants to sit on a nest, can!   I never had so much fun as I did when broodies were hatching out chicks.

I'm in total agreement with you. Free chicks - what is there to fight against?
