Oh, no lol!
She's abandoned her children! :lau
Well now I learned something about turkeys.

It is also official...Bitty is a nut. She raised her Derps and without weaning them has abandoned them to go broody again.
:confused: She is a total nut. I even Derped her and she still went broody again.
:he

She sure did. :(
Dip is dippy but Dot is kind of lost and sad. Dot was in the lower nest box smushed against the back wall last night while Bitty, Smudge and Peanut were all in the upper box growling, puffing up and acting silly.
 
Well. Something unprecedented happened last night. I put the Milk Drinker down around 8pm and I was asleep by 10:30. Next thing I know, it is 6:30 and I’m awakened by Thing 1 who came into our room looking for us. The baby had slept through the night. I actually woke him at this point to have him nurse because... my poor boobs! However it was really nice to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
 
Hubs ate my chocolate doughnuts.
I'm almost mad enough to fight.:mad:

Back to hot and dry here too, plants are really suffering. Aww Dip is starting to get it, soon she'll be over food grenades too. :)



Pat turned out to be a big, pretty girl lol! :D
Wait a day or 2 and you might get a spritz from the hurricane

I'm sorry, my inner 3 year old is dying.:gig

This is new info for me too. I've never seen a snood that wasn't flacid. I hope it doesn't last too long, it looks like it'd impair their vision too. It reminds me of Odin's huge wattles that were so big he couldn't eat off the ground. I had to have a specially raised food dish for him b/c if he lowered his head too much his wattles were in the way.

She sure did. :(

Poor kids, time for them to figure out how to roost. When Loki decided her littles were big enough she just left them for the roost and would peck at them if they tried to come roost by her. At least chickens don't throw their chicks out of the nest literally.

Wow, impressive!
 
O.M.G.

My MIL is driving me bat taters crazy over of all things burgers.

Let me preface this with the fact that DH and I do most of the dinner cooking 6 nights out of 7. It isn’t so bad to make extra of what we are having and let them eat with us. But, I thought once my MIL had her own kitchen she would be doing more of her own cooking because her excuse in the farm house was that she didn’t know where everything was (because she never cooked) and the pots she wants to use are always dirty. Nope, we are cooking as much for them as we were in the old house. When we decide to have a pizza night or eat left overs that won’t feed 5, they usually eat something pre made or processed. So she recently has been complaining about eating so much processed food. She also has been not so subtilely hinting that I cook the same stuff to often (which I do, but the vague hinting is annoying).

So, a couple weeks ago, I’m in the middle of setting up to make something for everyone to eat I get a text from her saying “I want burgers. Should I get some meat out to thaw?” I told her that I was in the middle of making something else for us for dinner but if she wanted burgers she was free to make them herself. She responds asking if we were planning to eat separately and I said “No, by ‘us’ I meant everyone.” and told her we could talk about it later. The thing is I’m kinda a burger snob. I’ve never been able to cook them at home to my satisfaction. I only like them grilled and hate them when cooked on the stovetop. We don’t currently have the money for a grill and I refuse to cook them any other way. So, when they came over I tried telling her all this in as nice a manner as possible without saying “no way in heck”. She then says she’s ordered a new spice blend that is supposed to go great in burgers and that “we” can practice, which essentially means me doing all the work with her making “helpful” suggestions while getting in the way. Um, no. I reiterated my point and thought that was that. A few days ago she sent me a link to a silicone burger press saying “I was wondering if you would find this useful?” First, I don’t want to make burgers. Second, silicone is a pain in the butt. It never stays really clean unless you painstakingly soak and scrub it. Third, burger presses need to be rigid to really work. So I responded “No I don’t.” Yesterday, she got her spice blend in the mail and today I get a response to the email saying,

Gah!!! We wouldn’t be eating as much processed food if you cooked for yourself once in a while.

I am sorry Rae. :hugs
Maybe a small table top grill could be bought instead of the silicone molds? ;)


I put 2 broody girls in the dog crate in the coop. I tried being nice and just removing them from the nest and setting them to roost at night. But NNNOOOOO must be broody. So in the crate they went. Only took 2 days. Should have brought the crate out right away.

I really need to build or buy a couple more. Mine has been in constant occupancy.
