What did you do with your flock today?

[Nomadicus]

Well now my donkey is breaking all sorts of rules!


*I don't actually have a donkey. Sadly. Because I would love a donkey.

My neighbor across the road has a donkey that is quite vocal in the evenings. Actually he has several. Even some that are not weaned yet. I wonder what would happen to me if I were to bring a baby donkey home with me....

I’m sure someone in your house would care if they found a donkey in your bathtub !

But it would be just a small donkey.

It’s hard to keep clothes on a donkey anyways!

Hard to take them back off too!

Hard to take them back off too!

I wouldn't know.

Started off the day at 4am with some nice downpours that continued off and on till this afternoon.
Today is the day Hombre's new people decided to pick him up. I guess it was harder than I had hoped because the dad wanted to hang out and impress us with his brilliance . Hombre is a stunning horse and i would have just liked a thank you and goodbye. I found myself in a bad mood. Would have been nice to just rip the bandaid off- so to speak.
The good news is, i know they are good people and the sun came out and we eventually made it home. The chickens were absolutely beautiful munching on wet grass in the yard. Helped set my heart at ease ♡
Also, the thought of no more 2x per day feeds plus pasture fees and ranch politics.
Anywho, just trying to sit with it now... deep sigh, I think...

Tough day for you for sure. I can understand. But you can take solace in his good new home. And then chickens, of course.

No and I'm afraid that she's gone.

I'm so sorry; how heartbreaking to lose a girl and have no idea what happened to her, especially one with special pet status.

My late great buff O would sneak up behind me and peck me on my bum, while I was sitting in my chair watching the others. (Terms of endearment I think )

My Buff Orp Pauline (flock queen) does that to me! Especially when I'm squatting to work in the chicken yard, cleaning up their dust bath, etc. Stealth attack! But she just wants my attention and some petting. Maybe that's an Orpington thing? (My first flock, so a novice...)

When I went to close up one coop today there was a rooster that free ranges in it having a go at the resident rooster. I tried to catch him by his tail end but only got a handful of feathers.
