It is late and I am a little bit tired. I think I go to bed and dream of chicken.:D
Btw I have had two horses too. Are you interested in horses too, Dan ? More "stuff" to talk about tomorrow.

I wish you a good night too. Sleep well.
I used to train horse when I lived in Texas.
I love the big breeds. I want to have Shires or Clydesdales one day..

My dogs were going ballistic earlier. They kept sniffing and barking at my car, so I went and opened the hood.
There was a rat trying to build a nest out of the hood liner! It totally ruined it and now I'll have to buy a new one... Good news is that my dogs made short work of that nasty rat.
My husband held it up so I could take a picture. He has really big hands. I measured the rat and it was 15inches from nose to end of tailView attachment 227464View attachment 227465

Though i'll think you'll find that's a meerkat in disguise.

My eldest is going to university this year, his first year. So is this the sort of thing that they do at university?
Clubs and societies are a very important part of university life.
In Fresher's week here is a fair in which all the clubs have a stall and try to get the first years to join (usually costs a little bit) Some of the money goes to the student union and the rest to you, but through the year you get extra money from the SU depending on how many members you get.
In my first year, the RPG and War games club was quite small. I became president in my second year and it grew a lot. We then took over the chess club (type of war game) . In my third year we became the second biggest society, after the rugby soc.
There are societies for religions, sports, food and drink, ethnic groups, sexual orientation, languages, the different subjects, everything.
All great fun, Wednesday afternoon were free from lectures and devoted to time to do your thing.
Uni is very much about socializing as well as studying.

Not my son. He slept, played computer games and football, and drank beer in his first year at university and sailed through getting top marks. It was much harder work in the second year and now he’s sweating over his final year project.

I carried on into my second year.
remember almost nothing of year 2.
Worked hard after that, though!

It is 18 here as well. Although my son does not touch the stuff. But I hope your sons final project goes well. What is he studying?

Silkies are the best moms. Had one that hatched 15chicks at one time and raised them all to adults. It was funny too watch her walk around with all those babies under her. She would stand up and half the chicks would stick under her, their little feet would dangle under her as she would shuffle along.
Hahaha. So cute

I had two neat things like that while I had them. I had a silky sit on a nest with a bantom hen I had and took half of her chicks lol. It was funny because that banny was sitting on over 20 eggs and she would flatten herself over them to keep them all warm. I did not think they would all hatch. Lol
But what happened is my silkie hen started sitting with her 3 days before they hatched. That banny hen could not run her off and just have up and let her sit there. After the 3 days the eggs hatched and about half went with the banny and about half went with the silkie. She looked rather proud of herself too lol.

I also had one try and hatch a golfball.
Aaaah so cute.
