Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

Summer before last, we culled two roosters we had "adopted". The picky eaters in the house wouldn't touch 'em - more for me.

I offered to do the stew thing ("I'll take care of it"), but the "they are pets!" drive is too strong. I said, well if you were hungry enough, you'd eat them....

Hide it in with the meaties. Don't tell them any different. Surely they don't pay THAT much attention.

Now that I have raised the idea, in June the "inspectors" will verify my load before I head to the processor, as well as doing a head count in the coop before I'm allowed to leave the property.

Seriously?!? Take them to grandmas and just come back with a bunch of nameless naked birds from the butchers! They'll eat them or starve! My DD threatened the same, but uh....she REALLY likes food

the homestead is awash in hormones right now, I'm planning on including a cot in the new coop.

Good idea. it has been much the same here too. DD had a meltdown night before last and I soooo wanted to just leave so I didn't have to hear it. She brought out the waterworks and all I hate that...manipulation. She JUST started doing that since her daddy has been home

We had one of those "let me do this tomorrow and I won't ask again for a week" type situations. I clearly laid out the expectations for the weekend - we'll see if I get back-up on this one. Stay tuned......

if they don't help they'd be soooo scoopin poop in the coop all weekend I'm a mean momma!! Mine know not to push me too far on chores issues. DD got home today and got all hers done before her daddy and I got home. She messed up on a few things, but at least she tried. I give them slack for effort
