Hi Siblings and Auntie K and Auntie S...
Auntie S, Mamma D told us you had to get rid of all your babies and that made us sad for you. Even though Mamma D still scares the poo out of us, we know she would be sad if she had to give us away. We are happy that Auntie has the orphans. And uglycute Norman, and mean ole popcorn!
We have two 4-legged fuzzy creatures living here. There is the obnoxiously hairy dog Go AWAY, and the kitten little -Get OFF me. Doggie Go AWAY is always sniffing at the door and whining. We find it quite annoying. We like to go right next to the door when we are out for playtime. It drives doggie Go AWAY crazy. Hee hee.
KittenLittle Get OFF me just comes in the room, scratches in a little box, makes the room stink, then leaves. And boy does she make the room stink. Mamma D says thats US, not kitten little Get OFF me. But we don't stink.
We are waiting for nice weather so we can go outside to play. Mamma D. says there is alot of fun stuff outside. Laurel and Hardy went out for a little bit one day.
They said they didn't like it, but from the stories that Mamma D. tells us about our daddy outside, I think outside sounds like a great place.
Our little box is nice and warm. It's big enough to play in, but we don't get to see so much. I can hear the nepper-n-misty. I saw them once- they are funny looking chickens. They have grey feathers and big wings ( well, Misty does- Nepper has alot of missing feathers- Mamma D says he is a nervous birdy and pulls his feathers out), and hooked beaks. I don't know what kind of chickens they are, but they talk people talk. They talk kitten little Get OFF me talk too.
Anyway, I got sidetracked. I was telling you how we can't see out of our box. We sleep all day, and when Mamma D. comes home, we get to come out for recess. then we go back into the box, and we play most of the night. We tried sleeping at night but there is scary monster sounds like growling or something after the humans go to bed.
This is what we do ... first, you'll hear ThumpThump pause THUMP thumpthumpthump. That would be Laurel, running, jumping over whoever is in her way, then running to the other side. Then you hear THUMP THUMP THUMPTHUMP. That is Hardy, the big lug running after Laurel. Then you hear thwapthwap fft thwap ftt thwap. That's me, and BB and Spunky running after Laurel and Hardy.
Then we stand around pecking each other until Laurel decides to rn the other way. Then we follow. Then Laurel runs to eat, and e run to get in the way. We tend to fight over 1 opening of the feeder, even though there is room for all of us. It's just the way chickens do things. When we are older, all the girls will fight over the same nest box, even if there is enough for all of us to have our own.
We chase each other alot. I ( Mcscreamy)am smart- I try to stay out of the way. I hardly ever get pecked at or pushed because I am smart enough to only get real close when I feel like playing. Laurel and Hardy finally stoped the chest bumping game. All us little ones got stepped on more than once when they played that game. Since I started staying out of the way of the rough play, I am hardly screaming at all.
Now skunkback, on the other hand, has started whining. Mamma D is turning him into a sissy. She lets him climb on her hand and she pets him till he goes to sleep. He's a mammas boy. So if he is alone sometimes he will whine.
Laurel and I do not like getting pets. We run when we see Mamma D reaching out towards us. Hardy will tolerate a pet or two, and VonSneaky likes it almost as much as skunk does.
Mamma D is gonna give us a playground tomorrow. I hope it has bars to sit on- that would be cool! I can't wait till the new babies hatch so we can get friends too. Sounds like New mexico is a fun place. ( what happened to the Old mexico? why did they hafta get a new one?) well, sounds like y'all are having an interesting life.. More interesting than ours at the moment.
well, recess is over- time to get back into the box and play tag! Take care !!
Love,
Feisty McScreamy
Edited to add:
Oh, Ps: Mamma D. is making me add this- just because the doggie is called GoAWAY, anf the kittenlittle is called Get OFF me- it's because they are pests. The doggie Go AWAY is always jumping on people and won't let them be more than a few inches away. And the kitten little sits all nice on laps, but then gets a claw stuck, and when the people try to help her, she jumps up, slaps them upside the head with her claws, bites them, then runs away. So no one wants her on them because it usually ends in bloodshed.
