He might take 18 years learning that. My son is nine and he argues the toss over everything. He’ll argue with me about music and I’m a music teacher!

I can dream the dream...

Thanks Bob. I was thinking they look rather drab against their dirt background. It doesn't really show them off.

My girls always look prettier when they are foraging free range.

While grass is a pain to maintain, it does make a beautiful backdrop for a chicken.

I'm all good with slowing down for little helpers, being talked to death, the inevitable accidents & breakages but I don't do well with being argued with constantly. It is very wearing & it takes ages to get anything done. Once he learns I don't play we won't have the issues.

Yep, my youngest is 22 and I still occasionally feel patronised.
Maybe I'm just sensitive.

At least they are willing to listen to reason and "debate" rather than argue all the time.

Nope, not drab at all.

Can't help thinking of the saying, red sky in the morning, sailors warning.

Sadly too true ~ I have a couple like that. A couple of mine are very Black&White thinkers. I don't bother as there is no room for debate ~ & silly me taught them to debate.

Yes. I have strong views about grass in this country & if there weren't big dogs roaming free I'd give my girls some time in the vacant paddock across the road but they do so I don't. And they do love foraging in the deep litter that is everywhere in our yard so what they miss out on in one instance they get in another. They just don't look quite so pretty as if posed against a beautiful lush green.

Yep. Bad weather is supposed to be on its way.

They aren't really ~ but then you have a very discerning eye...

Absolutely. Scratching through leaf litter is much more interesting. Mine start off grazing but soon move to the garden beds and throw the mulch everywhere!

It's a pity that dogs are allowed to run loose there. That's one of my pet peeves .

Perhaps you could take the girls across to the paddock one at a time for a photo opportunity!
