Bedtime is always insanity. Chaos. Every night everyone goes crazy picking out where they’re going to sleep.
My youngest chicken, Cocoa Pebbles, always has to be right next to his/her big sister Millicent. However he/she has a hard time getting up to the top of the fence to roost next to her. So I thought I would help.
Well.🤦🏼‍♀️
While holding my arm up waiting for Pebbles to step off onto the fence, Millicent decided to climb ON to my arm. Welp now I had TWO chickens on my arm. I announced my protest. Millicent and Pebbles promptly scooted all the way down my arm to my shoulder…and settled in next to my neck. Guys…this was not the plan. They did not care that this was not the plan. They snuggled up against me even more. It was very sweet, but I was afraid someone was gonna p**p on me. I’ve gone a good long while without getting p**ped on- knock on wood- and I’m proud of that record…so I needed them off. It was bed time and as much as I’d love to have my chickies sleep with me, tonight was not the night. I gently head-butted Pebbles off, but Millicent just switched sides and moved to my other shoulder. Of course. Pebbles got upset and I think that’s what persuaded Millicent to finally exit.
Anyways long story I know, but I just love my chickens and I want to remember this sweet, funny moment with a couple of my feather babies.😆

SO THANKFUL everyone survived the storms last night. I’ve got a mess to clean up, and a bunch of SOGGY chickens, but everyone seemed okay when I checked on them before work this morning.
I had to share this clip of my sweet Antonio, soaked, but still singing. I thought it was cool how you could see his breath.💙

This goober girl is our Sadie Mae. She’s a Great Pyrenees and our livestock guardian dog. She tries to stay cool during the day and at night does her best to keep our other animals safe from harm. Even though she gets in trouble from time to time, she is definitely a daddy’s girl- she ADORES Deric and he just loves her to pieces. I love watching them play together. The kittens also love to play with her giant fluffy tail and she gives them the gentlest nose boops. She is so important to us and we can’t imagine life without her!!💙

One of my many favorite things about chickens is that if someone finds an extra yummy treat, they don’t immediately just eat it…they pick it up and run away with it- alerting everyone else that they have something worth going after. I don’t know what Cutie Pie found, but he had Sassafras, Meep, and C**t on his tail! Chicken “Keep-Away” just cracks me up!!🤣🤣🤣
