I spend my lunches, and before and after work with y'all. You are my daily constitutional, and just about everything else. I would have been a bit more irritated at standing in the line at Wal-Mart's pharmacy for a half hour while the singular, sloth - like person working the register did her job to the n-th degree of slowdom if I had not been so desperate to catch up on the day's pages of activity. You gave me a reason to not have an overwhelming desire to find a can of WD40 to help her move a little faster (with or without the added incentive of flamage under the backside), and for that, the pharmacy tech is unknowingly grateful.
 
I think it was around this time last year that we woke up one morning with a neighbor's pig on our back deck. When I went outside to escort her home, she turned and smiled at me and started grunting as she trotted closer and closer. I took one look at those creepy human looking teeth in her mouth and screamed all the way back to the house.

:lau I never saw a pig smile and i had 3 of them! I hear they can have tusks though, and may bite if threatened. So retreat may have been the best option. My pigs got out twice but i always found them. They sure respect electric fence!
 
My only farm type are Gurtrude and Lizbeth. Gurtrude wishes our dirt wasn't broken, but tried to make it work anyhow.

Lizbeth is the gold laced banty cochin, Gurtrude is the Easter Egger.

We also have 2 keets, 3 dogs, 1 cat, 11 pet rats, a tree frog and assorted aquatics.

As you can see, the farm types don't live the typical farm life. The reason behind that is because we didn't plan on having chickens, Gurtrude chose us as her family. She walked in to our garage soaking wet last year in Oct. She hasn't wanted for anything since. Lizbeth came along because Gurtrude needed another fluffbutt to be with. They don't share a pen, but their pens are touching each other, and they are able to see each other all the time. They can even peck each other if they really want to, they just don't. If I kept them in the same pen, Lizbeth would be picked on continuously, since she's smaller, but they have kitchen time together, supervised.

They are good girls, and very people oriented, actually coming over to demand cuddles and attention. They definitely eat well, crickets and superworms, good feed and healthy treats (veggies and fruits). We get plenty of eggs, free insect control, and lots of confused looks when we take them with us to the park, drive through restaurants and pet stores.

I never planned to keep chickens, now I never plan to not have an indoor pair.

When you say keets, are you talking baby guineas or parakeets?
Love your chickens!
