How much borax powder per gallon of water? I have the 20 mule team brand.

I'm so glad Hobo is tiny, she's decided to just skip the squatting and go straight into flogging Cookie in the morning. Poor little dude did his normal dance all happy and she just put her foot in him! No warning, no nothing she just slapped him down mid-dance. I'm starting to think she might be a tad bit ruthless.

I think my taterhead really does have mashed taters for brains— he ran down the fence line at me today then sorta danced a little before he realized who he was doing it for.

My taterhead got a closeup meeting with my boot last week. I didn't kick him, I just shoved him abruptly across the pen with my boot/leg. Dancing around me is one thing, trying to flog me will only get him an invite to dinner. No dessert.

Early use to do that, went from that i'm going to kill you charge to the sexy dance in a split second. I didn't like it, he was confused I sure as heck was confused. Maybe taterhead and him are lost brothers.

I know almost everyone would have had him for dinner by now. I can’t bring myself to do it. I even have someone who will do it all I have to do is bring him over. Still can’t. Knowing what will happen if I bring him there makes me feel bad.
Part of me thinks I’ll figure it out and he’ll turn around. He wasn’t always like this so I’m hopeful he’ll go back to being a nice boy. He’s good with the hens and ever vigilant. It’s just me he feels he has to prove his manliness too.

Maybe the move will make a difference with him.
I wish they could just tell us what their deal is.
I like you, I hate you, I want to kill you, I want to breed you, I want you to leave me alone, you don't visit often enough, leave my girls alone, this food sucks, bring more treats, let me out of this cage, my coop smells like poop....... yada, yada, yada...

My chickens have this annoying noise they make if something is not to their liking. Either they tipped over the water, ate all the food, want out of the run or think they need a treat...

Yes, we are out of the fire danger zones. We are getting smoke from two fires now. The closest fire is about 40 miles north in Clearlake. That fire is the biggest in State history.

Hopefully it doesn't get any closer. I can't imagine it's easy to breathe for the animals either.

That's what happens when you walk up on him all sexy like.

I’m pretty sure he lists off everything but “let me out of this cage” every time he sees me. That’s what really gets me, I don’t think he knows what he wants.

Ya'll still do better than me with taterheads, that boy was killin me. I'd go see him and he'd make that sad buuh buuk and do a little mopey dance and i'd feel bad....and dummy me try to pet him lol! I'd get a little petting then he'd bite and feeling bad was over until next time.
