Well done your son Muddy.. Such a kind thing to do..

I never knew about 'Pecking Order'... interesting..

Yes,  Chickens certainly do have a strict pecking order,  and can peck a new interloper to death even.

Well, you may laugh.. and mock...
I don't think you men realise what us women have to go through after years of bearing your children and giving you years of pleasure.. PLUS feeding you , doing your washing and looking after you when you are in BED with a BAD cold...
We can't even call the menopause our own.. You want to get in on the act...

Will watch Bake Off later.

I was just saying the same thing to a friend this morning, I have to keep stopping !  I put my leccy blanket on this morning too.

Better stack up on cash. Without electric cards won't work. Come to that stocks of water and pop won't last either.

My son had some. They live a long time. You can't replace individuals as they die though. They establish a pecking order and a newcomer won't be welcome then you'll find out where the phrase pecking order originated. They'll even lay quite well for quite a while and destroy any ground they have access to.
