I'm sitting outside with a beautiful bright blue sky at 7:30 a.m. I'm pretty sure the clocks changed on me last night but in this digital world I don't have anything to do anymore. It's automated and I didn't actually know up until now whether the clocks went forward or backwards. I guess it's...
I keep changing my mind as to whether or not chickens are smart or stupid. I suppose, just like any other animal, they have certain things that they are aware of and good at and other things that they just can't comprehend. I think when it comes to food they probably...
The feud between the rooster and I has calmed. It's easy to spot his intentional change in attitude as he clearly walks in directions away from me or around me even when the other hands walk right by me. He can't avoid me because I'm the one that brings him his food...
This is pretty neat. I was offered a free trial of this Artificial Intelligence copywriting tool, and in the moment I couldn't think of any real practical use - so I entered two options. I hate my Rooster and Everybody hates Roosters. This is what it produced: Why I...
I decided to do something about the backyard Wi-Fi today. Last week I discovered it wasn't working and that as soon as I left the back porch, my phone transferred to using my data plan. Since I rarely leave my house, my data plan is set very low and I was making...
This is what fall weather is supposed to be like. With your shoes and perhaps a light jacket, it's nice to sit out for a while. The dogs aren't as impressed because there's no current sun beams for them to lay in but it's not like it's raining so they're not super...
Although I didn't expect to feed the hens today, I gave them some nice food around 4:00 and it was a good assortment of three different types of food. We have several locations we feed them into keep things interesting so I fed them at the northernmost elevated...
There are a couple of weaker hens that get extra attention occasionally. If they don't come out because of the weather or whatever reason we sneak into the chicken coop and feed them a private dish. They were out in the bright sunlight today a little before noon when...
Shortly after I fed the chickens on the rooster this morning it rained so their food kind of turned to mush. That makes them extra hungry at lunch time and I'm feeding them up on the porch under the roof right in my way. However, I did get my stick back so I feel like...
Is that how you spell lunge? As I was speeding the hens and the rooster I held my baseball bat to the side while I poured the food from above onto one of the dishes as I was going towards the second dish the rooster came at me surprisingly fast. I didn't have time to...
Although he's a decade older than me, many of our mental issues are similar. It's surprises me somewhat that he has not figured out some of the most basic tricks that people like us use to make life better. The one I'm referring to today is having a place for things....
I'm pretty sure the rooster didn't take it and I walked the grounds looking for it. Last time it was my fault and it was just outside but this time it looks like he's used it and put it down somewhere. I'm going to assume not intentionally and not maliciously but it...
One of the dogs was my hero. At least in his mind when he went after the rooster for attacking me. The rooster didn't have a chance and didn't make contact but my reaction was always being startled and that generally means loud and that plays to the dog like I'm in...
I know they don't. Probably. It was a brief fantasy about finding a reason to get rid of the rooster and win the war once and forever. Another attack from the front line happened this morning. I also witnessed the rooster being a bit of a bastard. Not doing his...
I was almost at the steps to the house when I turned my back and the rooster. It's usually a safe spot especially since the food is a long way away. I think you may be mad because I didn't bring out a fifth portion for him which for a while I was doing, It's so hard...
I placed the majority portion of food in the elevated area near the door. Because, it had rained earlier, I had to reach to grab the main dish, flip it over and let the water out as everyone came running, eager for their dinner portions. I set my defence stick down...
I'd fed them. I was posing no threat.i was almost inside the house but I showed my back to the Rooster and somehow it magically transported 40 feet and lunged. It was so fast and startling I honestly don't remember the details. It didn't make contact as my telec3s...
