Pretty enough to smooch.

I have a banty white crested black polish named Elmer and she is the barnyard clown of the chicken world. Runner ducks hold the title for the duck world.

LOL! I woke up one day to find the horses and goats in the coop and all the chickens and ducks in the pasture. That was a fun morning.

Last year my 2 mares with foals in tow busted into the barn and consumed 100 lbs of chicken feed between the four of them in one morning.

I thought I was going to kill them, if they didn't keel over of colic first!!!

Speaking of Mares I must share the latest in the life of a Diva... a C&P from my other post... ahem



So, I am in the barn with the roomies, William and Bear and someone pulls into the drive and is yelling for us...so I yell back "Down in the barn!" Here comes the Goblin Gnome that lives next door. He is yapping away and gets to me standing in front of Jo's stall and say "Now that there is a purty horse"...I said "Yes she is beautiful, can I help you with something?" So he turns to look at me, William and Bear with his back to Jo. The Diva sticks her head over the gate, sniffs his hat and wrinkle her nose like she smelled something horrid. Then she backs up a step or so and SPITS ON HIM and walked to the corner of her stall!

Well firstly, I have never seen a horse spit...drool yes, bite yes, but never spit. Secondly, the Goblin Gnome has no flipping idea that my Diva has just spit on the back of his hat and hair and neck. Sooooooooooo

As I am trying like hell to keep a straight face, William is losing it and he had to walk away...Bear saved me because he, smiling, walks up to the Goblin Gnome and say "well I will tell Bill you stopped by, let me walk you to your car" and he gently turns him towards his car and he gets in and drives away.

Picture this...

Horse in stall with BIG Butt facing us, Goblin Gnome driving home with horse spit on him not knowing it, William howling out in the pasture, me hysterically laughing until I cannot breath in the barn aisle and Bear grinning and chuckling all the way back to us.

God I love my horse! She is one smart cookie that girl.


BETH...JOLETA SPITS! hahahahahahahaha



Laree I am sorry about Fluffy

That dog would be in deep nonsense with me and find his arse on a short chain attached to a tree...for at least a week! Of course that would be after the beaten he got.

Exactly. Abnormal is the new average...



Batty, your show boy is beautiful and you should test him at the show in Shelbyville in May for sure. The back up isn't bad, but his comb isn't as stunning as #1's is. You can and should show the polish as well. Might as well tease people with your gorgeous breeders!!

I'm planning on it. hey, how young is too young?

So far both black roos, my best black girl and the larger polish are on my list. I'm trying to get LH to come with!

Look at that, I killed my own thread on the chicken board with talk of chickens.
