Ribh's D'Coopage

Why do you think that is? I too have noticed that. I find myself also trending in your direction but many others seem to head in the opposite direction. I find it exhausting to harbor anger and resentment. It takes real work to be mean and spitefull.

Yes! Joy is waaaay easier.

Mini coos? I had no idea there were mini-coos! How adorable! But I am not starry-eyed about farm life - I will be content with crops just for me and chickens.

Well, they aren’t quite like mini horses, but they also aren’t giants like our beasties, or the Brahmas @Ribh was talking about! But I agree Large Livestock is a big commitment, and not easily backed out of either. I mentioned the Emu farming attempt on our Island here... well that farmer is now thinking about dairy goats. I think that’s about the same level of crazy as well.

I think Aurora beats Peggy, at least right now.

I would bet there are votes for Tsuki as well. What about Maggie?

I think Maggie is a contender but I don't see her in the Aurora league just yet. I did notice today she was more interested in chasing Dotty away from the food than she was in eating it, which is a sure sign she has lost all sense of priorities!

I am with you - I only have 5 and I honestly can't say that I achieve anything these days beyond dealing with the chickens!

I have nine chickens, and they are eating us out of house and home, and POOPING A LOT!!!
They keep me jumping cleaning and filling the feeders and waterers, cleaning their coop and run, and having long conversations with them, of course.
They also dig huge holes in the ground in the run. I mean, they keep busy all day, but they are keeping me busy too.
I am fortunate in that they all get along together very well (knock on wood), with minimal squabbles, usually over a tasty bug one of them finds and all of them want.

That is a fantastic pic - look at that stare!

I think all alpha hens have that stare. How about this from Lilly?

Yeh, not just one pants. All their pants!

Gaaaahhhh! Where did all these ants come from! I need to change my pants.
...
Not these pants too!??
...
And these ones
...
Oh no! Not my favourite pants too!!!

Perfect. I endorse this.

Maybe next time Shadrach goes to see the witch..............wait................shoot!

Not that kind of witch.
