Peppa is about to be put in the stew pot. She keeps trying to peck my hands but today she opened her beak as wide as she could and tried to bite me so she got her butt whooped with a stick.

On the farm in the Dakotas our kids carried “rooster sticks” for that purpose and if a chicken died in the process; well; we had chicken that night!

That's what is about to happen with Peppa. She has been quite the pain in the dirty backside. I told my husband and he said well if she doesn't want to learn then there's only one thing to do.

I stopped naming my hens. But, I would do the same. When a weasel killed all of two flocks, one year apart, both times in November, I threw all of the birds in the trash. No telling if the weasel was rabid.
It would have been better if they had all gone to freezer camp in October of each year.

I don't think knowing that I named her is going to be an issue for me because I have been really thinking about all of her behaviors since I got her in March and she has been a problem. If I can get her to stop trying to go for the hands I will be fine with her being in the stew pot,but I have 2 grandsons that would be traumatized by her behavior so it is a safety issue for me.

i really love water projects and so when the spillway blew out and then they had the emergency spillway also have problems i watched the entire rebuild as they posted videos almost every day. also got into the geology and engineering aspects. they still have a camera up which shows the spillway in rotation.

be patient, it comes around eventually, even at night it is lit up.

I'm working on weeding my garden. It's just too hot right now for much more work so I'm taking a break.
