I had to resort to keeping a bachelor's pad. Actually, I have had 3 at a time filled up. I am currently down to one, though it is packed! Anyway, the point I mean to make is, they do fine together. Anyway, I have not had a problem. Good luck!

Kathy, so far my bachelor pads have been filled with bloody roosters and I have been stuffing the most picked on ones in brooders and whatever else I can find. Its mostly the Dels, however, that have been nasty to each other, at this point all the JG boys and the Orp boys are good- I have one project boy that is starting to get rowdy. The Del boys have NO girls in with them to fight over, the others are still all in one huge pen, and I should have Pullet Palace finished this weekend for them, hopefully that will calm Mr. Petronius Project down.

Beth are you kidding me...I do not read that girl any stories unless they are of gallant steeds, warhorses and famous war mounts. Then I tell her that she because she is a girl does not make a hill of a difference because she is fearless, trustworthy, loyal and strong with the added bonus of being beautiful. There will be no fairytales or mushy girly stories read to her, she is bad enough without giving her any ideas! I have read her the stories of Seabiscuit and Secretariat, in detail with recollections of personal experience from the 1973 Belmont Stakes from my seat in the grandstands. She did seem most enthralled with that story and has tried to immitate it from one end of the pasture to the other but she has got to learn to lower that tail to achieve the same flying aspect and ease up on the prance.

I am sick. Waaaaaaaaaaaa

LH, I am sorry you are sick! Should I drop ship some OJ?

Ha, I use to tell Jo about the 5 foundation war mares - the Al Khamsa stories, she is descended from those mares somehow, I forget. You know they used mares in warfare, right? Anyway, there was some war, and they took a break to let the thirsty horses drink - the horses were all racing down to the river and some dude blew the war horn again. 5 mares left the water and raced back to fight again - those were the mares chosen by the Prophet to be the founders and mothers of the Arabian breed. I have the story in all its nice phrasing somewhere- anyhow, Jo and her mother would have probably been in the midst of it all.

Especially if the enemy were riding cows.

Awwwwwww, that is so sweet! White chickens or not, Cyn, you gotta love those Dels!

That Georgie loves her hugs! Ellie likes to be picked up occasionally, but Georgie is a hugger. She must do this every single day and you can't just pick her up or let her sit on your lap. You must hold her tight.

I love it! What a sweetie! Thank you for sharing that- reminds me all over again why I love our Dels.

After her hugs, she went free ranging on the back side of the house.
