Official Squatch Watchers

[Chickassan]

Nunny, shack man was screaming, yes screaming at my sweet little dude telling him to shut the F up. Then asked me why I can't control a rooster. You think I offered eggs? No way i'm giving anything edible to sombody that dumb, he'd choke.

That's by biggest worry with having roosters and neighbors. I'll have 1 standard size and 1 bantam. I know the saying is offer eggs, which I'm fine with, but it depends on how I'm approached about it. Legally I can have them. Roosters too. So don't be a tater or the offer of eggs with be a "discounted price" which won't be discounted at all. LOL

That is just stupid Ron. Do people not know tomato waste stinks really bad and somehow miss the giant processing plant? Same with the terrier lady. Terriers are killing machines, that is what they do! Bother her dog...sheeze. Last terrier here was constantly "botherd" spent most of his life going in rabbit warrens and rat holes he was so upset. People I swear.

Yes! The neighbor had me put plywood on the fence so that her rat terrier was not bothered by the chickens....The dog was trying to get to them to kill them! Then complained about the flies that came from the tomato fields and silage(woodland has one of the larges tomato processing plants in the US). The owner of the rental next to us said the renters complained about the smell in late summer...Chickens to not smell much then because there is no rain and I keep it clean out there. Animal control showed up two days later. The smell at that time comes from tomato silage dumped into a field a mile from my house.

Luckily hens are legal here and there is no neighbor annoyance clause in the ordinance

I know!

The smell from the silage goes through a cycle too. It is sanitized on Friday and has that smell. Then it gets woofy over the next 6 days until they sanitize it the next Friday.

It was pretty bad last night at Costco. The field is next to the store.

The lady with the dog thought my thornless black berries were poison oak. You would think the black berries would be a clue to what the plant was

No....that neighbor would not be offered eggs by me either.

(Not that I don't yell at Taterhead but he's mine. I'm allowed.)

Yeah iv'e yelled at Negan too, but I hatched him he's my chicken son. Most of the time I end up telling him i'm sorry anyway because I feel bad

Lol I forgot it's Wednesday!

I beat the trash men by about 30 seconds!!

Today is hubby's 60th birthday. How did 60 happen?


I am going to get him one of those ice cream cakes.
This weekend new grips for 2 of his pistols and a shoulder holster.
That's all he asked for.

Making tater salad, cole slaw, ribs and baked beans for supper.
I hope he likes it.

Oh and Sable has a new trick. She figured out gate latches.

That's like when a little kid learns how to turn a door knob. Do the latches have locks?

@apryl29 This made me LOL! It's so true. But please no human poop pictures.
If you were a chicken we'd have you locked in a cage in our basement, utility room, or garage and would be checking in on you constantly to make sure you're feeling better, seeing if you need anything, force feeding you and fretting over the condition of your poop and asking everyone here about their opinion of what to do. We love you and we just want the best for you. Just be careful and be safe .. but we're going to worry b/c it's #3 of the top 10 things we do best. (#1 is eat and #2 is procrastinate)

Oh.. Yes! No human poop pictures, please!

Good morning Squatchers!
Day 2 of raining cats and dogs and no ends in sight
Hope you all have a wonderful day! Hugs to each and everyone of you my lovely friends

Do we need to send out a rescue boat?

Yes that’s what I’m thinking. I’ll keep you posted.

I didn't want to say anything, but that kinda sounds like how Jaiden was. She sat there all puffed up all the time, like a little old lady in a fur coat. Head tucked down all the time and lost a lot of weight. Keep an eye on her poop.

I am in the same boat as you!

Luckily it is much easier to take care of 6 hens. Downsizing was a real work saver for me

That's my plan! No matter who goes broody, there will be no more babies. We need less chickens, not more.

That is so great! You must be a pretty good rooster lol. He's such a pretty guy I was hoping he was behaving himself.
That is pretty fancy Henny, no such thing here. Have to take the trash off ourselves. If we lived in town we would get curbside. I don't even get recycling bins, there is one big recyling dumpster and it is always packed full! Now they're getting picky about using it, no glass can't put your cans in a plastic bag just nutty considering it is recycling.

We have the big dumpster here too, but they started a new 'single stream' thing where you toss everything in one bin... great idea, except now every container is always full b/c idiot people don't break down the boxes like they're supposed to. I just love driving around w/ my trash for weeks. It's esp bad during holidays.

The lady with the dog thought my thornless black berries were poison oak. You would think the black berries would be a clue to what the plant was

So where I live there was an old turkey farm just outside of town that burned down when I was in high school. It sat there forever until a company that "recycles" liquid waste bought it. They literally brought in semis of old milk, pickle juice, and other liquids to 'dispose' of it. Their disposal process was basically spraying the liquid on the ground, letting it absorb and repeat. On a bad day, when the wind was just wrong, the entire town would smell like dog crap. Like I was walking into work, smelled it & checked my shoes to see if I stepped in dog crap. Then I asked the guy I work w/ if he smelled it too and he said he smelled it outside. The place finally got shut down after a couple of years. It was disgusting and people always questioned what it was doing to the ground water. Apparently the EPA didn't exactly approve of what they were doing and they got shut down.

@apryl29 Our big dumpster has a box slit so they have to squish the boxes. They never empty the stupid thing so it dosen't matter. If you complain they just give YOU a stick to pack boxes.

The tomato silage is like that but it is from August until now. There will be some odor until about January.

It is very stinky When the wind is blowing it towards us

I've never bothered to complain to anyone who works there.. I just keep driving around w/ it until I happen upon one that's got space. Ours has doors on the side, and slits, but everyone just tosses them in through the door. I think people stacking up stuff next to the boxes encouraged them to get more dumpsters.

We have the largest dairy farm in the state up the road from us. Some days we get a really stinky wind from there.
