The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

What I meant was, they should be shooting at targets, not animals with a BB gun. Yes, they can do some damage.

Regardless of whether they were standing on private land or not it is certainly illegal to shoot so that the shots go anywhere near a house. Idiots.

Idiots, for sure. We almost were hit with a stray bullet from down the hill a couple of years back. Some moron shooting at squirrels with a .22. It pinged off a garden post 20' from where Tom and I were standing across from it. Nobody hunts on my property, not because I have anything against hunting, but because I do have something against being shot by ijits who can't tell a deer from a primate.

I'm so glad to hear that your husband is doing better and that the lady was able to find your place to pick up the chicks.

I have such a love/hate relationship with GPS. On the rare occasions when I have to drive in large cities, it can be super useful to know what lane I'm going to need to be in well before, but mine doesn't do well in a lot of rural areas.

And at people being disrespectful of your property and animals. It's not like the kind of people who are so careless in the first place are the type to help put any damage they cause to rights.

Just an illustration of how times have changed (for the worse). While in middle school, my older son won a contest put on by the local TV station. It was an anti-drug campaign. And the weather guy wanted kids to make a pointer for him that had a "no to drugs" message. Michael won. But, look at what he won with....today, it would have gotten him kicked out of school, unjustly. The ironic fact is that later, this guy, Bruce Asbury, was fired for cocaine use, LOL!

Well, drat. Someone is clucking that I don't believe has ever been broody, Athena. I know this is nuts, but I'm going to ask you guys if you ever remember Athena going broody in the past? She and Zara were with Apollo when I discovered one or both carry the dwarf gene, so they're just over 2 years old. I know Lizzie raised chicks and Tessa was always going broody but I never let her do it-those two were a year older than these sisters are. Maretta's clucking seems to be dissipating some, thankfully.

What a cute story. I bet your son was proud of winning. I am glad you kept the clipping.

Oh no, the dreaded clucking. Every other hen is broody her, chickens, ducks, Turkey's, I just keep breaking them. I cannot let them all hatch, it would be very crazy here.

Great clipping, and yes nowadays he'd be treated as a terrorist. Heck, they had one school go nuts on an 8 year old because he used Legos to make a toy gun. Called the law on him, and everything. It was LEGO's for crying out loud.

They're gonna give these poor kids a complex, I swear. Can't even just be normal kids anymore. They're all psycho-kids now and it isn't because they played with guns, trust me.
