WHAT is a barcalounger? A reclining chair.

Merle; We can be clueless together

Posti;, Would being validated make you a validatorian?

I don't recall him saying it, but it was classic Dangerfield. I thought it was quite clever, Postie!

With cup holders. For old farts!

Oh Krex, that must really suck. That's the kind of thing that tends to happen to me too
I hope you get it fixed. Sounds like the company needs to be a little more appreciative of their staff.

Postpaleo - what's a stakee?

Anyway, being an aspie, I have no problem talking for hours about a subject of interest, and chickens are one of my current interests. I have 22 chickens now. Ask away!

My kids were reading these posts!! Serves them right!! S says it's bad enough that I get hit on in the real world, now he has to see me get stalked?!

Lol, you read it too fast. I put the l in it. However since you asked, I will tell you my pretty and your little dog too!! !

Stakee is Munchkin for "how many chickens do you have" Since you have all ready answered it. I see no need for any further need for converstaion, unless of course you need further validation. I sense you do, I will ask more of you, oh great chicken expert. Do chickens wear make-up? I mean out of just a brief survey of 22, does not one? Is it hard to catch 22?

When I was a kid I used to sit in the hen house and read. It was peaceful and the chickens liked me. I also wanted to be a horse. And I bet there are few people who know that you can sing a pig to sleep! I did it! Way too often!! And the therapist thinks I am normal!!

What do you like about chickens?

Kids? I have some of those, be careful what you threaten me with. I mean stalking can get leathal and I might be forced to defend my self with MY kids. Well, no worrys, I doubt they will ever let them out of jail.

Don't know about her, but they taste like chicken.

I was chicken-sitting for my ex's boss and his damn rooster attacked me every time I went in the coop. I finally took a stick in with me. I only meant to scare him but he pecked me in the back of the leg and I hit him. I thought I killed him but he came to. I didn't tell anyone. A month later the boss couldn't figure out why his rooster was no longer friendly with the hens. I never did tell him. I still think I scared the drive right out of him. Now if only that worked some humans!

I would have to surrender and give you my kids!! Take that, validated stalker!

1. Chickens make great moms. They lay an egg a day for about a week, and then like Horton, they sit on the eggs for three weeks straight, only leaving the nest once a day to eat, drink and s**t. They rotate the eggs and move them in and out of the circle so that the temperature of each egg stays even (100.1 degrees). When they near 21 days, she clucks to the eggs to encourage them to hatch. The chicks are able to walk and eat immediately upon hatching, and being imprinted to mama, they follow her around immediately. As mama walks, she clucks continuously to the chicks so they can follow her, she makes sure they're all there, she scratches up food for them, she protects them from others. I saw a hen have all 7 chicks go huddle under her and she kind of squatted over them so you couldn't tell there were any chicks at all. The hens let their chicks follow them for several months before fledging.

All this is more than many human moms do.

2. Roosters and hens make fascinating social observing. I have now seen chicken life with and without a rooster, and am amazed at what effect the rooster has on the hen. Without the rooster, they're nervous, flighty birds. With the rooster around, they all flock together, are more calm. Then there's watching the pecking order.

3. I like watching the broody hens - they're hysterical. I now know where the word broody comes from, having seen how a broody hen acts. They get aggressive, fluff their feathers up, squawk at all the other birds.

Did you hear some moke stole my rooster? We're all bummed.

Okay I'll stop now
Thanks for letting me share.

Serious,
Are things alright with home stuff? Just checking.

And, yes, he can stalk you or you can stalk him whichever makes you happiest!

Better yet I can send you Hubby. You don't have to stalk him because he never goes anywhere. He broke the kitchen water tap today and I had to turn into naggarella to get him to leave the house to get a new part. He was just going to leave it!! AS or not, if you break it, you fix it.

I feel the same way about many animals. I didn't realize any of that. Thank you! I like hearing about other people's interests.

HAH!! ! I like kids for they are crunchy and taste good with a vintage Mad Dog wine. I also have kids on my wifes side, they are not in jail and they are as many as the grains of sand on the beach AND they have multiplied. (She started young and she liked be pregnant, what can I say. )

Is "moke" Munchkin or did you put a k instead of an l? I have that problem they put these keys so close together.

You have a clue who did it or even why? That's just plain not right.
