Good Morning everyone

Good morning! Everybody is out and fed gave Bob a little Debbie blueberry loaf, made for a really happy squirrel.

Everyone is out in their runs.

I had to twist the Derps minds a bit. I put a yellow squash in the run before Kerr by then out.


Bitty tuck tucking and them refusing to come out of the house because of that squash....such early morning drama!

The big coop birds were all "WOOOHOOOO SQUASH!".

Some folks use catfish pellets.

I'll have to check that out. The chickens have gotten into the cat food before but I didn't know it was ok for them since I know there's stuff in there FOR cats. I'll keep that in mind.

Hi everyone,

Wow, I can't keep pace with you guys.

Things are a little rough here. All 4 of us, including the baby, have caught a mild, but annoying GI bug. No puking (Thank heaven!) but we are all feeling icky, cranky, and crappy (literally and metaphorically).

Well, I'm off to bed, if only the Milk Drinker will let me sleep.

I hope you all feel better soon.

Lol! I'd have loved to have seen that!
I'm having plumagedon go on, the plum tree is dropping fruit and the squeals have got to be in the 100's by the end of the day.

Jealous. We have no fruit trees so nothing delicious for the chickens to munch on unless I pay for it. I tossed a big bowl of watermelon out the other day and I was shocked that they ate all of it. I usually have to collect the extras and toss them in the run at the end of the evening.

Hey Dip is smart, never know when that grenade berry is gonna blow!
Barb is my thinker, Kim is my do'er and Stacey is my sh*t causer.
Doonese and Kiwi are my poor mixed up frankenchickens.
I cannot stress enough, the derp runs deep.

You'd think with their brain set on EVERYTHING IS FOOD! all the time they'd peck first and ask questions later. I took a drink from a water bottle and you'd have though I was carrying out a bucket overflowing w/ treats, everyone came running. Nothing is safe. I swear, they do have food!

 

[Chickassan]

Man, my hour or so of sleep after I get everybody fed got interrupted i'm still not ok with that.
Hubs woke me up to ask if a groundhog in the yard was a problem....seriously? Not like he has never seen one, he's eaten one!
Wake me up over a yard hamster.


Oh you're evil! You know squash are terrifying.

Lol, my dad was a fruit tree maniac figs, plums, apples, pears, muscadine grapes, blueberries, strawberries and blackberries but those grow wild.
His fruit madness seriously helps on the food bill during the summer.
Derps don't get the everything is food drive until after they start to lay, until then everything is out to kill them. When it happens though it is bad.
Can't believe you went out with a water bottle...you must be crazy!

Ah, this explains their mortal terror when I tried to offer them a plum the other day.

I am truly the most evil thing they have ever encountered.
They are convinced I mean nothing but great harm.
I am relieved that the treat behavior is limited to pre-laying.

Good way to describe it....mortal terror....very accurate from what I am seeing here.
Just be careful about using berry grenades.

 

[Chickassan]

I took some superworms out for my skittish kids, they love them but watching them snatch a worm and try to run from something that is already in their mouth is beyond hilarious.
Fun didn't last long, big kids saw the worms and they're all buisness.
I think the littles at least got a few a piece. Hobo still isn't fond of superworms, she's a mealworm only kind of girl.


Yeah, strange fruit can only mean certain death it is ALL out to get them.

Lol! I'm literally the first thing mine saw and i'm still the devil 99% of the time.
I'm only o.k at morning bread bite time and dinner even that is a strictly no touching situation with the girls the boy could absolutely care less.
But yeah, once an egg falls out of their butts they don't fear you, fruit, big bugs, all the truly terrifying things.

Well aren't we just a bunch of sadists, trying to nourish them to death
