TIM ! ! ! You know those Silkie eggs are important! That's why you have them in the incubator!

Your wife will probably set you straight on the wheels issue, for sure!

Isaac is my big Delaware rooster, who leads the main flock. Maretta is 1/2 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana and 1/2 Easter Egger, hence, she's an EE. I'm going to be combining those two flocks and this was their first day out together. I'm going to wait till the next snow event tonight and tomorrow to make them stay overnight in the main coop, though, since I know there will be fighting and I'd rather they not have to be locked in together like that all day.

WARNING!!!!! Do not go near the "Americauna" thread! Those people are cutthroat about anything EE! And to think you have a 1/2 Ameraucana, well , don't say you weren't warned!!!!

Now now Seminolewind you must know how to handle those peeps. First I go through and correct all those misspelled Ameraucana typos, then I point out all the green legged birds in the pics then I point out all the improper combs in their pics and tell them "Long Live The EEs" and wish them all "Have a nice day " and then leave them to stew in it for a couple months and then I repeat the process.. muahahahahahaha Yes I can be a smartazz when you get snippy with me. *smirk*

Okay and then I am going to bed...LOL. They are both dingbats some days So the characters in this story are 1 Delawegger named Junebug and one Arabian Mare named Joleta Bey. Around here they are The Politician Chicken and the Diva Do. I open the coop door and out comes the free-ranging Menagerie' The Junebug is acting like a dingbat, running to one side of the yard turning and running to the other turning and running to skid to a stop in the middle and looking around for someone to listen to her campaign speech again. She lowers her head and runs full speed to the barn so I am wondering what the sam hello she is doing, which leads me out into the cold to go find her silly behind. As I get near the barn and am going up the aisle (imagine a 48' x 72' tobacco style barn) I see the Politician chicken sitting in the Diva Do's feed pan in the aisle. The Diva Do does not eat in her stall, she has her stall, the aisle and the stall across the way as her domain inside the barn. Now, Diva Do does not like anything or anyone in her stal and thusfar, has killed every critter that entered it, but she is in the corner of her stall starring out at the bird sitting in her feed pan and she has only one ear laid back....so she is upset and budding a temper tantrum. Silly chicken who thinks everyone is an ally is sitting there trying to find every tiny piece of grain she thinks may be in the pan. Meanwhile Diva Do is moving closer to the pan and I am speeding up my walking.. Diva Do reaches silly bird in her pan and Junebug spins around beak to nose with the Diva and begins talking to her, literally, bock bocking her normal "Hi I am Junebug, Vote for me!" Rhetoric that Junebug expects everyone to be receiving of such kindness. Diva Do is totally incensed and so she shoves the pan a bit a bit with her nose, flipping silly bird out of her feed pan, then moving to put stand over feed pan, lowering head and looking at chicken with a hateful look. Junebug ignores this warning and turns back to face Diva Do who is now standing with lowered head protecting her feed pan between her front feet. Junebug chatters away to Diva Do while walking around looking for a way to get back in the feed pan just incase there is food in it and ends up a mere inch or so from Diva Do's nose. She then decides to chatter away to an upset Diva. Diva lays her ears back and let's out her ear drum piercing Mare scream and the bird takes off like the hounds of hell are behind her and she ends up in the middle of the pasture confused because she has no idea where she is so I call her and she comes running back to the barn and skids to a halt at barn door and then eases inthe stall and skirts her way around the walls of a 12' x 12' stall and stops when she reaches the aisle and turns to haul butt up the aisle and out of the barn to get back to the house. Problems 2 and 3 are waiting for her at the other end of the barn...the flock rooster, Lancelot and the flock matriarch, Delilah aka Sumo Kung Fu chicken, the daughter of Suede who has full spurs and a nasty attitude when annoyed. The both proceed to open a can of chicken whoop azz on the Politician chicken sending her flying back to the house with them hot on her heels. Junebug runs to the house, up the steps and onto the porch where she takes refuge on the porch swing. I consoled her while telling her that Diva Do is not to be trifled with and explaining the whole 1000 lb horse 6lb chicken thing to her and that she could have squashed like a Junebug. She ignored me and went to find trouble elsewhere eventually but she did sit in my lap for a bit to avoid Lancelot and Delilah. Typical Junebug antics and Diva Do behavior at my house but funny as heck to watch. Hehehehehehe
