I was sitting in my recliner just now, contemplating going to bed, when I thought I heard one of my roosters crowing. I went to the door, opened it to hear better. Yes, one of them, sounded like Silas, was crowing over and over and over.
I slid on a jacket and my mud shoes, put on my headlamp, and headed out to the coops. First I stood outside Silas' coop. All quiet. Hmm. Walked back to the first coop and then heard some fussy noises behind me. I opened Silas' coop, saw Esther pecking one of the game pullets, hard. The pullet had wedged herself under Silas as if he were a broody, probably trying to escape! So I played Chicken Tetris, moved the pullet to the other side of Silas so Esther will have a harder time reaching anyone.
I wonder, was Silas crowing repeatedly in annoyance, frustration, or perhaps asking for intervention?

I learned how to drive in snow in Rochester NY. But that was 52 years ago. We barely get any snow here, so its really pretty when we do. I'll just avoid driving in it, if possible.
I can't stand the awful crowing about drivers, here and there and everywhere. Tesla drivers, snow drivers, fog drivers, not turning on your headlights drivers, too slow, too fast, etc. Its very tiresome.

When we lived in the Midwest ever first decent snow I'd take the car and go to the biggest empty parking lot and drive and stomp on brakes, turn fast, spin, etc. so I would be ready for evasive maneuvers when the idiots hit the roads. Of course that's almost 50 years ago and we don't live where it snows now.

The only hens laying right now are the OEGB pullets. We're having a Christmas fellowship tonight at church, and I decided to try making deviled eggs from the teensy pullet eggs!
I needed something in the middle, so I pulled a jar of pickled eggs (from my bantams) out of the refrigerator, and put them on a bed of lettuce from my garden!

I've not seen deviled egg serving trays available in anything but XL. Doesn't matter, the pullet eggs are delicious, even if I do say so myself!Definitely ... finger food
