My neighbors lawnmower broke. She's been coming down & borrowing my Honda. And she cuts my front yard. Well....Daisy saw her get it out of the garage & head down the drive. She was heading to her house with it. Daisy caught her. Started dive bombing. You should have heard her screaming! I had to tackle Daisy. My neighbor was traumatized. After she calmed down, she swore Daisy thought she was stealing it. LOL! I had to explain the mower is her nemesis. Had to carry her back to the coop. Everytime I tried setting her down she'd run back toward the mower. That bird is obsessed!!

I was outside messing around. My phone was ringing & I couldn't find it. Only to discover I had left it on a bench and Daisy was sitting on it.

I thought of her too. A few times. Hope she's ok. She was fun.

I'm getting cabin fever. Don't dare go anywhere. But it is getting tedious. Daisy is bored too. She wants to go for walks & find kids. My poor girl!

Well we already have a tornado on the ground over in Arkansas. About 30 miles from here. Looks like a long night ahead.

Tornado damage & injuries. Should be here in about an hour. I will crate my dogs & hop in a closet. We don't have basements in Memphis..

We survived. Even survived the coonhound howling along with the tornado sirens! Girls are all fine. Lots of power out, but ok here!

I agree with Molpet. They all have egg stashes they've hidden. One day you'll walk out there and there won't be a hen to be found. They will all be sitting on their hidden nests. And one day they will all reappear with their 100 poult hatch. I think your girls are fighting against your plans to reduce as best they can!!

R2elk....do you just open a window & peg a turkey? My great uncle used to sit at his kitchen table, open a window & shoot the rabbits in his yard.
