My 5 year old wears about 5 different outfits a day and soils them too because she's a grubby girl like me...they don't call me grubby gretch for nuttin. but there you see my problem? loads of laundry

I'm mean. If my kids get their clothes dirty they have to strip by the door to come in, then put the dirty ones back on to go back out. I'm already behind on laundry they don't need to exaccerbate the situation.

Please, I have boys. They are ALWAYS grubby.

I'm teaching the kids how to tie dye today, making shirts for disneyland (yep i'm one of those moms that puts them in the same color shirts when we go out, that way if i see 3 peach and lime green tie dye, it's a good bet those are mine.

I had a feeling that might come up.

But I'm not scared of him and it didn't really hurt...well, his spur hurt more than his peck..I think he was scared and being protective of the 2 hens out with him, who were huddled on top of each other in a corner being tarded till I opened the door and they said, oh, thanks. But who knows...the varmit that attacked my duck the other week could have scarred them emotionally.

but back to my dream....the buck was HUGE and my roo comes up to my knees, so i bent down and grabbed him while he was busy throwing a punch and then I held him upside down for a while...just to prove my point that I'm bigger and not scared of him and we'd all get along better if he did not attack.

...plus the only reason at this point that i'm keeping him, is he is a good protector of his hens and I need his seed...currently the black copper maran hen is sitting on 15 eggs so I'm hoping they'll hatch out some good ones.

Nuh uh. Mean roos produce mean offspring. I'm so strict with my roos, any bad behavior, I'm like the Red Queen AND if one starts it up after he's fathered chicks, those chicks are treated the same way.

No mean birds at all.

Really? So my girls tormenting him and instigating him by running at him and screaming had nothing to do with it?

Plus, they're cute running around the house in their lil boxers.

Duh, I only have two and I dress them matching so I can find them in crowds.

Human kids or chickens?

But I will say my kids are running around the yard, shrieking, smashing cars together, etc, etc, etc and the roos don't blink. Ho hum. The kids aren't outside on their rampages when the birds are free ranging however.

I may be stupid, I ain't that stupid. The JG roos are taller than my 3 y/o.
