Sorry to hear about your sprinkler issue. It's one thing to have to be on the clock, but sharing DNA via involuntary splats is gross.

Doing well in general. Staying pretty busy with the kids and birds. I'm sitting outside with the bantams watching the 8 of them (including Pearl) scratch peck, and the occasional dominance spat. A'pollo appears to be okay with taking second place which surprises me a bit. He's got his head down eating with the ladies while General stands "tall" and proud over his flock.

So as I was typing how soft A'pollo was getting brave and gave gave General a Chuck Norris worthy flying Cock-A-Dooddle-DONT! General grabbed Shea by the neck, she screamed "STRANGER DANGER!!!" and in come A'pollo with his hackles flared out flying through the air. POW! General is knocked off Shea, and A'pollo stood in front of her ready for the next round. General actually walked away...

Definitely nasty. And I can’t really say anything because what can anyone do about it? Maybe ask him to direct his attention elsewhere.


Aww, good boys!

what can anyone do about it?

Tell him you're sick. Nobody wants to stand close to a sick person.
Is it a co-worker? If so, you'll have to find a sickness that sticks around for a while, but doesn't kill you.

I might have to. Well, his shift is after mine, but he always comes in about 30 minutes early.

He is quite the good looking fella, and those ladies... Is it rude to tell a hen she's got a plump butt? How about just saying... Those are some healthy looking ladies!

I love them, they are fluff butts for sure! And their eggs are sooo good

Eh. Okay, I guess. New-ish job... kind of hating it right now. It’s not even the job... just the fact that I have to be NICE to people constantly. And this one guy spits like CRAZY when he talks... sooooo annoying as half the time it lands on me. Otherwise, pretty good! Pearl is lovely.

How’ve you been?

I hope things get better for you very soon, Kayla.

Mernin!

I hope everyone is doing grand on this morning. Things are doing okay here. Xaiden is off to school, Jonah is eating his morning berries, and the birds have their refreshments.

Have some fluffy bums!

Morning y'all! I want to personally thank you for giving me chicken fever! I just informed the hubs that he will need to building me a chicken coop for the spring. If I can wait that long. I probably won't be doing chicks because we have so much on our plate right now but I miss having them around so why not just get my own, right? I have a friend in the poultry business at her farm so I am sure she will hook me up.
