    When I was still commuting, we each had one, when I started working from home, it seemed silly to have 2 phones, so I cancelled mine, so the phone is the Egg Thief's phone. Mine is an alarm clock and camera, it lives on airplane mode and hasn't been updated in 10 years. I hate the stupid...

    They were hatched under Squash, I was out checking in on her when they pipped. She seemed surprised and kind of moved which allowed me to see the hatching process. So I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat out there for hours, with Spud, to make sure she accepted them. This was her first hatch and...

    I actually got to watch them hatch,or else I would have thought I was losing my marbles. I was seriously worried that one or both wouldn't survive, but they are thriving.

    We had a Tater, until he killed Goldie and tried to kill Spud. He became an occupant of the freezer.

    Rooster's making an odd sound

    My roosters make a sort of shrill, but low-volume noise when alerting to predators. Was something big flying overhead or maybe a cat or dog hanging around?

    In just under a year, my dad died, my youngest son died, and now my mom has passed last week, if it wasn't for the chickens, turkeys and dogs, counting on me to sustain them, I don't think I would get out of bed any more. They show me that despite all the sorrow, there is still joy in the simple...

    3 more boring work hours, then chore time. LOL Just took a break to help walk the dogs. 4 BIG dogs is a bit much for the Egg Thief alone. One bicycle(meals on wheels), motor cycle (fast food) or encroaching cat or fluttering leaf and he would be down and off.
