While we wait to see if the Judge will unseal and publicly release the search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago, I thought I’d share the happy news that I’ve named some of the chickens! Not the older group, we’re still debating the merits of all of the fabulous names you suggested, but the three younger ones, who are all under a week old and are the last of the eggs to hatch.
I love the names! i used to read that book to my kids when they were young and it was one of their (and my) favorites... brought back memories... I don't have chickens now (i did for some time) but do have Shetland sheep, and coming up with names for sheep, the cats, dogs, etc. with my two kids involved negotiations between the three of us that rivaled the SALT talks...
I had a quaker parrot that came to us at 5 weeks. A friend who was self-described as an "expert" in bird breeding determined it was a male, so we named him Petey. About 5 or 6 years later "he" layed a clutch of 3 eggs. After much discussion we determined that Petey would remain Petey and would forever identify as male. He lived 21 years, 2001 - 2022 and never layed another egg. 🐦
Always love seeing the chickens and the baby chicks. Never heard of the book but will be buying it for my great grandkids. Re: the warrant, listening to the Rs attacks on the DOJ and FBI while defending trump makes me ill. They have become the "whatever trump does is ok by us" party. I hope the day will come when they will regret their decision to support such a vile man and recognize they played a huge part in where our country is today. Sad that more Rs have not followed the lead of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
Boom! Once again your posts both inform and amuse me. I love reading them and I’ve been recommending people subscribe to your Substack. Thank you! Have a magical weekend!
As a dog and horse person, here’s a totally off the wall chicken question since I know nothing about them. Can you tell at this young age if they are hens or roosters? 🤭
Pickles is extraordinary looking! Thank you for the thoughts about what we may, or may not, see regarding the search. I hadn’t thought about redactions; those will likely lead to even more speculation, don’t you think?
What a delightful update on both the MAL search and -- even better -- chickens! Love the names and how adorable Pepper and Pickles are as well. Cheers to the weekend and hopefully more insight into the warrant! 🍾🐔🍸🐓🐥
So, you don’t need the “Chicken Store”. OMG they are adorable. Love the name “Pepper”. The other names are sweet also since they bring sweet memories. All my “babies” are grown up.🥲. Look forward to the continuing saga... (he’ll come up w/ something twisted, I am sure!) 🤬🤣
On a non-chicken topic prompted by the week's news: Do you have some thoughts on how this huge volume of classified documents was smuggled out of the White House in the first place? Given all the procedures for even reading classified documents that have been described on various media this week by folks with relevant experience, how was he able to retain and remove all of these materials? It's been reported for years that administration staff were concerned about trump's lack of care for documents/phone calls/ in person meetings with potential national security implications. It's not like they didn't know he was a risk....
Thank you, Joyce for the distraction and for the clarification.

Good way to start a day. I’ve pretty much given up eating chicken, now I can appreciate them again! 🥳😖
Joyce, I am glad you found names for your chickens! Thank you for the update.
Love those names and also thanks for the legal update.

Love this! Thank you for all the info! I love Pickles and am always happy to see when Pickles appears!!

Those babies are so precious ❣️
Don't forget about "Vera, Chuck, and Dave" from "When I Turn 64".... ; )
I'm looking forward to the #SIL tomorrow morning!
