That is great that your Dad is in such good health, he sure looks to be getting around pretty good to have ankle problems........looks like ya did quite a bit of work getting that tree down to size and even tho it isn't enough for winter, ya got it cleaned up and stacked just waiting to get used. Ya know those youngsters may be a bit fiestier than the older ones and I've always been told that it is the rooster that controls the roost, so without the enforcer being there, the young ones are quicker to the spots.
I think in that short video there are a couple of definitions of "charge" contained in it....hope your sister took it well.....

Shoulda told my sister about the hot wire I guess.

Your poor sister! Sorry I laughed, I really tried not to....

My problem is I would describe a female in her 30's as "a girl" not a woman. "Women" are older than me! Or at least close to my age, I don't refer to DW (6 years younger) as "a girl". But I suppose even my DDs now 23 and 25 are women, right?

What about females in the 40s? lol

I tend to use the term ladies. It works for girls, oh say 10+ on through high school age and college, and I think it continues to work up to infinity.

I agree!

Of course, there is that urban dictionary 'feline scale' that explains every female age group...

I’m going to just laugh and leave it at that.

 

[greybeard]

Also one for males, called the canine scale...again, search at your own peril guys.

I have a hiccup with the women/girls terminology. Not out of disrespect, but out of age factor. I tend to use the term ladies. It works for girls, oh say 10+ on through high school age and college, and I think it continues to work up to infinity. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Lol

MANY years ago I was walking down a hall between buildings at work, saw a group of 3-4 female people I knew coming my direction. Well a person can't say hi to each by name when passing in opposite directions so I just said "Hi ladies". One of them was offended, like I was calling them "Ladies of the evening". Can't win!

What about females in the 40s? lol

Well now we are getting into the finer details. I guess by then they could be women. But what about when I'm 70? Many females in their 40s will be girls again!

3 littles up top again tonight. Closest hens were Mellori (3 Y/O BA) and Anais (6 year old Faverolles). They weren't cuddle up close, maybe a foot or so away. The littles have to be flying up from the top of the brooder area below. I can't believe they are going up the ramp and making their way past the older girls (or is that women??).

Are you talking about the poultry or 70 year old human females?
