Hilarious!
I love that little Partridge (?) pullet.
Yes, she is. There are two partridge and two blue partridge girls in that batch. One of each male, too. Even steven! Glad you got a kick out of the video, or was it my post, LOL?
My tennis shoes have HOLES in them. Or maybe I should say that I have holes with a little bit of shoe and sole left. I REALLY need to get shoes!
In other news - thought some of you might find this article worth reading. Includes a TED talk. Moral of story - we need to be careful where we get our info.

Off to listen to @speckledhen 's video
I'll check it out. Yes, the last two pairs of shoes had to be scrapped because the soles came completely off. The last one was repaired with Shoe Goo so I could buy time to find more shoes. I can't understand womens' fascination with shoes! I can't wear the ones they seem to like. Heck, I can't walk in them!
ETA: I read it. I've seen that in action, even in just the way a reporter asks a question. They believe they are there to manipulate public opinion, not report the factual news. That means you can trust nothing, literally NOTHING.
While I agree about "real men" going to the wayside, I cannot say it's entirely their fault. Look at what is on tv. Do you see anything suggesting what a real man does? Yes, he drives a RAM pick up truck. He shops at The Gap, and Abercrombies. He drinks Budweiser beer. For the few fortunate enough to have had someone teach them to fish, they can go to Bass Pro, for all their sporting good needs. For those interested in shooting, there are plenty of nice indoor ranges, and the store there carries all their shooting needs. Last Man Standing was one of the few shows criticizing how men are not stepping up to the plate, teaching their children to be more self reliant. It was not politically correct, so it got cancelled.
I know, it's insane. I don't want to stereotype men, mind you. My own husband is not a huge sports fan, though he follows his Univ of Georgia team when he can find the game on TV, nor does he drink, but he can fix stuff, knows stuff and can build stuff, plus he would not hesitate to run into the line of fire to protect what's his (and I don't mean just mouth off and whine). He loaded and tested bombs for the Air Force, a very dangerous job, maintained the telemetry on board the ARIA aircraft (Advanced Range Instrumentation Aircraft) and was an electronic technician that was promoted to the job of an engineer near the end of his Air Force career because of his knowledge, though he did not technically have an engineering degree. He is a logical thinker as well as a man of faith and a man of integrity. And he is loyal. He's most definitely my better half. I cannot fathom another man in my life, ever. Yes, he's still a man, you know from that other planet, which is plainly obvious at times, LOL, but he's my alien.
I would rather starve than just grab someone to support me as many older women do when they lose their first husband. My standards are way up there and I'm not open to compromise in that arena. Slim pickings in our current world. I'm afraid there are not enough real men left to draft into a real fighting force in our world, either, which worries me a great deal. Toughness is dying trait.
