Let me know how the spray bottle works!

I used a hose on my Polish roo if i had it going. He was a jerk whether wet or dry. Long term, i culled him.

Good morning! I'm amazed by that chicken stealing story, I know people get hungry but cripes just ask for eggs! Most of us chicken ladies are nothing but nice and would give anybody some eggs in a heartbeat if they were hungry. Speaking of eggs, Lulu was trying to do me dirty! I caught her laying yesterday in the back of the coop adding to her stash of 9 other eggs from EVERYBODY! She's smooth! I don't notice if i'm an egg short, everybody takes a day off sometimes but girfreind was working on doubleing the flock. I'm sooo glad I caught her.

So she wants to be a mama again? So fickle.

Lol. Naughty Lulu.
That’s one of the things that surprised me when I first got chickens.
They scheme.
They plot.


Oh I’m so glad you read that! So so weird.
I kept waiting for the OP to say: “ PSYCH!”


Heck if someone told me they were hungry I’d send them home with a few bags of groceries. Ive always got extras in my pantry.

Same. I don't get why they found blood by the coop? Wouldn't it have been way easier to grab the chickens and off them at their place than to kill them there? Maybe my chickens are louder than theirs when you wake them up.

Will do!

Yep, that is where we met. Went to university, got engaged, and had children. Lived there from 1974 to 1992.

Wow, how exciting! I just googled it.. sounds like it'd be all far away.. It's by Maine.. I'm not good w/ the geography. Still pretty exciting! Do they have moose randomly wandering around up there too?

I need to get that done w/ Odin, every time I go to talk to my coworker about having her husband do it, I feel bad. I know I shouldn't.. She's out of town this weekend, but maybe by the next time my kids are w/ their dad for the w/e I'll be ready to do it.

The only Moose i saw in NS was at a park, but there may be others. I actually petted that moose, it was shedding and enjoyed being scratched!
Winters are just too long up there for me any more. That is why we left. Usually summers are fairly mild, but this year they are having record hot temps.

@apryl29 I know exactly how you feel. I could get my taterhead “taken care of” but I can’t bring myself to do it. I don’t have to worry about him attacking anyone but me. So I put up with him and his quirks. I may try the squirt bottle. I’ve given him a quick blast with the hose but I think it’s to obvious. The squirt bottle may be more of shock to him.

I tolerated Elvis because he protected my SS hens, but when he spurred my leg and drew blood, i drew the line. That was the last time he flogged me.

Yeah she was plotting on me. I didn't even think she was laying since she's molting all over the place but there she was big half bald pancake in the very back corner. I still don't know how she got all those eggs back there. I'm with ya on the extra pantry stuff, publix has bogos so I get whatever is on sale and stick it in there. Very nice when it snows or if hubs has a short week or if we know of anybody who is hungry and not super picky.
@apryl29 , Lulu wants ME to be a mama again lol! She likes brooding but dosen't like chicks rooting under her belly so she was about to hook me up! 2 Marlene eggs "oh Lord no", 3 Tucks "not bad", 2 Susan "noooo!" And 2 of her own Lulu loves to lay rooster eggs so nope! So she was about to make a real unhappy chicken lady.

Update on non chickeny things: Hubs has cleaned up most of his mess on the other property but not without me having to be "mean" and forbid a bunch of junk coming here. This place is right on the road and at least one of our neighbors keeps an immaculate yard so i'm not allowing any stress on those folks. The county comes back the 14th to see if it makes the grade, if not they clean it and bill us on taxes...how nice. Hubs did go buy that ridiculous stump grinder and he's actually using it for now so i'm keeping shrew mode at a minimum but we shall see if it continues. For 7,500 bucks it better! I got all my stumps gone first, they wern't an issue it was just the principal of it all lol! Did notice an interesting thing, once the grinder starts up little old men come from everywhere to check out the noise lol! No joke, I looked out and hubs was surrounded by pepaws! Dudes must get some sort of nosy superpower when they hit 65 to 70.

If your hubby runs out of stumps to grind, we have an endless supply! Send him over if he gets bored!

Lol. It makes up for the “superpowers” they don’t have anymore. Poor pepaws!
