I went to the tack shop for a girth. And maybe a cheap crop and halter.
I ended up with a
Girth
Breakaway stirrups
Stirrup leathers
Crop
Halter
And a saddle. (Don’t yell at me please @Ponypoor and @RebeccaBoyd)
The saddle was $150. It’s a Wintec all purpose saddle. It’s used, but in OK...
That makes a lot of sense.
I just told Mom and Dad that he’s staying for at least another few months. (@notabitail)
I do know that he’s a good rooster. I’m going to do what you suggested and see if that makes a difference.
I’m at the dr office with my dad, and he’s telling is doctor all about my chooks.
He has a back disease so he has to go to a doctor quite often. I think the disease is all enclosing spondylitis… I think.

I don’t mind the girls pecking my fingers, but I’m tired of Pastel pecking me. The girls do it in a sweet way, and they want food. But Pastel does it because he hates me.
Here is kinda like 11 minutes of Pastel attacking me on Saturday. I’ve not watched the video, but there is probably a slight edge of hysteria to my voice (I think that would be the proper word?) because of how scared I was. He’s done way worse than just peck me before. And I did kick him, not...
I might go to a tack shop about an hour away and buy a girth. And of course look at saddles and bridles 😍 my mom and brother are at Mom’s work. She works on a farm that is part of the livestock conservation program thing.
Dad is home, and I never got woken up for school 🙄 I’ve tried so many...
No saddle fit Auggie. I used a bareback pad, but even that was too big for him.
I’m going to order a girth. It should be here on Tuesday. I walked and trotted. He wanted to canter but I didn’t let him.
I started slipping when he tried picking up the canter, but I grabbed onto his mane to...
Maybe once they’re older? They are nine or ten weeks old, and my girls are terrors. Especially BBQ, Eli, and Splotch.
Dad invited some of his friends to come out to the barn to watch me ride 😳
Yeah, at least I have one of his sons. My old riding instructor has two of his sons and some of his daughters. It’s just extremely sad for me because he started my obsession with chickens. His sister Splotch is okay, but she’s not very tame. My brother would play with her when they were chicks...
I have an idea of what to do with Pastel.
There is an animal rescue, and they take roosters. It’s about 40 minutes away, and I’m planning on taking him there.
They can either use him as a “work animal” (I forgot what they called it) which is where they can sell or slaughter him, breed him and...
I wasn’t able to go see Auggie this past week. Weather was bad all week. It’s supposed to be storming today, so I have to see if I can sneak out to the barn to ride.
I’m going to text my friend later today to see if she can help me get rid of Pastel. I still need to talk to my parents.
If I...
Mhm. Mom hates him more than I do. She’s been a target of his attacks for much longer than me.
I do wish that he would grow out of it. I’m just not comfortable with him anymore.
Yeah, I may know of a person who will take care of him… she gave me him, but she has over 100 chickens, and she culls them whenever they are ready or something.
I told Dad that I’m going to get rid of him, and he started laughing. He doesn’t think that I will. I sure hope he will let me 🙄 I...
He will be 4 on September 13th.
I don’t think that he has any health issues. He might have scaley mites though. Any tips on how to get rid of those? He’s always attacked my mom, but never me.
I guess I’ll actually have to weigh him. I’m guessing he’s around 8 or 9lbs though.
Last week he...
