Ribh's D'Coopage

[BY Bob]

Oh, gosh! Yes of course! You are absolutely right. I was just thinking the small coop is already getting a bit tight for my bigger girls but the big coop is probably too big for my smaller girls @ present. I can wait though. It's great to be reminded of what you should know & often forget because something else has become your main focus! I really am grateful.

I have done too many integrations in my years. I would never not let you know what I think. It's up to you to decide to take my advice or not. It is always good to talk things out on the threads. Other people perspectives are invaluable even if you wind up not taking their advice. Look what @RoyalChick marking up my coop plans has done. She inspired a whole different idea for cooping my ladies.

Those bantams are so very small. I'd rather have a crowded coop than a squooshed bantam.

Ribh, I will pay you 1000 pounds if you stop using that blue font. (Hurts my eyes trying to read it)

I think that is actually green. At least it appears green on my tablet.

Sorry, Alex. I will try to remember. It helps me not get lost when I've got a lot of quotes or a longer quote. I find it difficult when everything's the same B&W to figure out what's quote & what's me.

I like it. I feel special when you use it to respond to me.

Agreed. No red. Yes, I sometimes do the spacing but some days I'm so tired even that muddles me. I should be back to my sort of normal in a day or two...

I use red at work all the time. Best contrast comes from red. Easiest to see changes with.

Oh no, Ribh! I missed this! What happened? I’ll go back and reread. So sorry you lost one.

A broken leg and coccidiosis? Was only the one with the leg injury euthanized? I’m so sorry to hear this.

Such a pretty little girl.

I do so love her name!

There is something about Royalty that us Americans have missed! My name is Alexander but do people notice? (say yes, and your check will be in the mail)!

If I had been blessed with a son, his name would have been Alexander. I love the name.

 

[BY Bob]

I was thinking the same thing but didn't know how to express it. Thanks Bob!

The bantams will also be able to "take cover" under their bigger sisters if they need to.

Exactly. I worry most about establishing a pecking order multiple times. I would always rather have them just add their pecking order to the established pecking order. The less shuffling the better.

I'm pretty sure there were no British King Alexanders..... unless you count Queen Alexandria...

Did Alexander the Great count as royalty?

That was our first choice for a boy too. But we couldn't use it because my brother named his daughter Alexandra.
