I HATE not knowing which are Roos.

I don't blame you. I hate it too. I keep looking at my girls and every day I think ones a roo, then the next day, not a roo...It's maddening.
I have one definite rooster, and now my other EE is beginning to look like one too. Ugh.

So, my daughter threatened to move out if we get meat birds.

She's a vegetarian anyway, so I'm wondering what her malfunction is. I explained the life of a, let's say, Purdue roaster, compared to one that's lived it's life in our yard...I don't think she was convinced. I told her I'll make sure she has loads of soy burgers and fish to eat.

I told her that her father wants to get a pig for pork...she turned green. She's never even MET a meat pig. She thinks I'm gonna be roasting Wilbur and Babe over the fire pit. I was attacked in college by a Sow who's piglets I had to examine and vaccinate. I have no deep committed love for pigs. OK, Wilbur IS cute, but he's a cartoon pig. 200lbs of angry Hampshire is quite a different story.

How do you guys feel about keeping a pig for meat? Chickens for meat? I'm still on the fence, but it was fun poking at DD this morning. Then we went to Mass and a girl that has a huge crush on my DS2 was sitting in front of us. Talk about yer awkward situations. My DD and DS1 were having such a good time making DS2 uncomfortable. He's 11, it seems that 11 year old girls are into boys these days. I was trading stationary and riding horses at 11. I also found out that 11 Year old boys turn beet red when 11 year old girls bat their eyelashes at them in church. All very amusing. DS3 just wondered OUT LOUD if that's JOSEPHS GIRLFRRRRRIEND. OMG. I think everyone near us was laughing.

Ahh, another eventful day in Rosie's family. The cochins are outside in the crate inside the coop, and all of the big girls are perched on top. It's gonna be an interesting day of dodging poop for the little girls I can tell you that!

UGH my younger oldest sibling jokes with me about my girl and such when we are by ourselves (In a teenage boy sorta way, [and yes every once in a while like THAT {AL!}]) Gosh. Anyways by youngest sibling (9) Is not allowed within 2 miles of me If I am hanging out with a girl doesnt matter what status that girl is

Yeah, we were in our usual seats then SHE sat in front of us. With her mom and little brother. I think siblings are programmed to make life miserable for each other. Her name is Nicole, and they were saying "Look Joe, it's Nicolee guacamole" My poor son almost sank into the floor.

It was AWESOME.

I kinda laughed then caught myself. And STERNLY told my kids to stop it and pay attention to Mass. They saw the laugh in my eyes though, the buggers.

My kids actually think I'm pretty cool, and their friends do too. I'm friends with my kids friends on facebook. They're all like my own. I'm a broody hen hatching other chickens eggs.

We all have a good sense of humor around here. We pick at each other constantly, so we all can laugh when being tortured.
