Ohhhh
!!!!! Snuggly piggies in their blanket
of hay !!!!
After
breakfast .... they bunch up piles of
hay to snuggle into for a nap. It was
nice with some sun early in the morning ..... before the clouds came in and took over.
Who
gets fed first?
The
free rangers are usually first .... and the friendliest one to the forefront
!!!!
With almost 1300 animals to feed every morning, and usually 4 hoomans doing it, somebody has to get fed before somebody else ......
How do we decide who's free ranging and who's not? Well you have to make certain promises.

1)
I will not leave the property
2)
I will not harm another resident .... or scare them like by chasing even if you
don't intend to eat them
3)
I will show up for breakfast and dinner and check in with a hooman so they know
I'm ok
4)
I have learned how to be safe and not do silly things like stroll off into the
woods looking for a fox.
And
if you can't promise .... and live up to your promise .... then for your own safety and that of others
.... you have to stay in an enclosure
!!!!
Just
look at those feet !!!!!
He's
a fuzzy footed chicken !!! I don't
know the official name, but his kind have feathers on their legs and feet. I like that !!!! If I had feet, I'd want them covered up warm in fur .... well
feathers if I was a bird !!!!
WHAT
do you mean, "there's no more"?
I still gotz hungry.
Won't
you help us fill their tummies? For
only $8.38 we can buy a whole case of food of them ... 12 cans of 13 oz each. It's a good deal, when we buy in bulk. Help us buy a pallet by contributing one
case at a time !!!! Thank you

Today
me and Mom have been doing fix em up sort of things.
She's
been teaching me how to wear a carpenter's hat and stuff like that. Cuz she
says there's lots of work that needs to be done, and I got to do my fair share,
seeing as I'm like spokes cat and all that. So one of the things we did today
was rip off the old icky dirty carpet that was on the steps to me and Timmy's
steps we use to get up into bed. And then we got it brand new carpet and now we
put it on and what do you think? Do you think it came out good? Here's Timmy
trying it out.
Your
daily cute kitty fix, brought to you by Clarence ... Rikki's Cat-Man-Do !!!
Doing
the Ducky Rain Dance
the
ducks and geese are getting terribly worried we may be entering a drought
.... they're dancing for rain .... it's been two days with out any .... how long can we hold out ?
When
the sheep come home .....
Good
weather predictors .... when animals
who often like to stay out all night munching grass and napping start flocking
towards their barns ......
Did
you know the turkeys display just like the peacocks do ? Their feathers aren't as long, but the stuck
'em up and waggle them about and make a rustlin noise they hope will attract
the girls.
The birds are awful .... all the he birds think of all spring long is she birds .... If only they could go to the speuter clinic !!!! Anesthesia and surgery are too dangerous for birds. The mortality rate is very very high. It's cus of their systems and anatomy. So we have to manage them by egg control .... at least that easier than them having "real" babies .....
