Mine are the same way. When it's double digits I've been opening the pop door and they run out immediately. They're tired of each other & are mad that they can't range anymore... they're dainty princesses who don't like icky snow on their toes. My little bantam gets absolutely rabid w/ some of my other girls. Olive and Damon are on the bottom of the pecking order and when I toss down treats they try to get some before the mean girls chase them away.Worse! Just pecking to be pecking! They've got an acre to get away from each other, and a coop they can go hunker down in. The water isn't frozen there's food. Still just being tater holes to each other. I've even tried the whole other chickens have it worse speech,it didn't work.
My 2 boys were the worst. Willie attacked everyone who was brown, the little racist. Then Odin started being mean to them.. Oddly, Steve, who we didn't realize was a boy until much later was so nice. The girls would peck here and there, but it was def the boys who were meanies.So right, when they're babies everybody chicken fights. Last year i had all my taters in an octagon shaped playpen it really seemed to fit my little fighting taters.
And jackets!!! Pink w/ glitter! They could say 'Taters' on the back!
We don't need to hide b/c we never told anyone our real names. We're good. BTW, my REAL name is Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock, nice to meet you all.I totally think your hubs needs to do the full background check on this one.
Derp ranching....... Sounds suspicious to me.
Hoping that will keep him busy while the rest of us either hide or figure out how to forge the background checks.
My kids would be jealous... they always complain my stew doesn't have enough 'Juice'... but stew sound amazing right now.. maybe I can convince them that we need that for dinner tomorrow.
Did you get a snow day? My kids are off today and tomorrow b/c of 'extreme cold'. Are you in the area of NY that is getting hit hard w/ snow?
Ridiculous, right? It's absolutely steamy in Antarctica right now.
We say that now, but then we have February to deal with...
When you move the mobile coops do you take the chickens out of them, or do the chickens know to get up so they don't get squished? I've never seen one moved before. Hopefully it's a quick repair job.
Glad your little one is feeling better. It sounds like you have a big project to do. I bet it's going to look amazing when you're done.
I don't think it's the same thing, but now I want to try the purple stuff. Elephant garlic comes in huge bulbs that have giant cloves. IDK if it was b/c I used a whole clove or b/c the garlic was so strong, but I made meatballs w/ some and you could smell the garlic outside the container I put them in.
Same for rodents. You're not supposed to use cedar for hams. Not sure why they even have it at this point... it's supposedly bad for just about every animal... maybe to be used w/ dogs?
Several of my birds started sneezing in Oct when it got really hot up here. I hadn't changed anything. It lasted for a little while, nothing I did helped. Then it just stopped. I did notice that a couple of my birds had food and dust stuck up their nose holes, but even after cleaning that a few still did it.
We can winter in Alaska like the older people who always go to FL in the winter. A former coworker's daughter used to live in Alaska and she said they drove on the river w/ their truck when it was frozen and used a boat when it wasn't and during the time when it was in between they couldn't leave. That seems like boat weather.
. I remember this thread!
