    Crocheters Thread

    I finally have the motivation to crochet again after about 6 months and started working on a seagull for my friend's birthday next week. I was doing great until it came time to turn the circle for the head into an oval and realized I forgot how very much I hate crocheting into a chain.

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    That's actually why we rehomed his brother haha. He seemed convinced I was actually a coyote or something and would flip if I went into the coop! But now he lives with our neighbors and has like 25 ladies all to himself, and they've never once had a problem with him! That is adorable. He's a...

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    I have a turken rooster who seems to think I'm a hen, and yes, he's very cute doing his little dance and bringing me bugs, but for the love of all- I just want to run in, grab the eggs quickly sometimes, and leave without stepping on him or having to remove beetles from my shoes!! :rolleyes:

    Show me your ugliest egg.

    Ooo, I'll have to grab a picture of my duck Reggie's next egg! Her eggs legitimately look like they're filthy. The first one we found we assumed had been next to the pond for a few days unseen by us, they're all just colored like they're urine stained and splotchy.

    Do you provide multiple grit or oyster shell stations?

    I have 2 stations each of oyster and grit, but that's honestly just because I had the extra feeders and didn't want them floating around my storage room for now. I don't think my little flock really needs both a station inside their coop and out under their lean-to, but I also don't think it hurts.

    Things you wish you could say

    There's honestly a lot of things I wish I could say this week, they could mostly be summed up as one long frustrated scream into the void though. It has just been a week.

    Issues with neighbors dogs

    Colorado is as well. I figured that out after the neighbors cows were all over our property and my partner was just like "yep, they can do that unless we fence it off."

    True or false, size matters...

    Size certainly never stopped my bantam cochin from trying, he certainly um... made it into position so to speak, but I don't honestly know if he ever succeeded with fertilizing our normal size hens as we never let any of them sit on any clutches nor did we ever try to incubate anything.

    Unsure what these little guys/gals are

    Final most recent pictures of these 3. These are the most docile chill guys. Not the best lighting because unfortunately while they are chill, my one turken roo who has to go is NOT and about the only time I can snag someone for a photo op is around bedtime. His brother on the other hand we are...

    What color/pattern would you consider this Turken?

    Thank you! We honesty adore both of our Turkens, they're so fun! And honestly, I find both of ours so pretty despite their silly bald necks! Thank you! Its disappointing that its most likely a cockerel as we bought both our turkens as supposed pullets, and I already suspected the other one isn't.

    What color/pattern would you consider this Turken?

    My poor Turken Thelma Blue is in the middle of a debate between two of my friends over what her color/patterning would be called. I'm just curious what most people here would consider her to be (plus it would be nice to settle the off again on again argument about her feathers). I mostly just...

    Unsure what these little guys/gals are

    This one got string on her foot, somehow. Took the chance while she was inside getting fixed up to get some updated photos showing their new lovely black spots that have been coming in. She's fine, it was caught before it became a problem thankfully.

    Things you wish you could say

    Ouch!! I can just imagine someone not even waiting for an answer and actually trying to too. Just ooph. We lost our last flock to the neighbors across the street's dogs. They haven't had a dog now in like a year and some change, we finally got chickens and ducks again. What do I see when I look...

    Any Gamers Here?

    I'm not planning on getting a switch 2 anytime soon. I actually love my switch, but I can't really justify the cost of a new game system right now and if we were going to get one, I would honestly want to get my partner an Xbox X or S before a new switch since I'm the only one who uses the...

    Bra incubating

    I never would have thought of trying to incubate an egg in a bra. If these posts happen fairly oftenish, how often are they successful? Personally I'm so clumsy I would be immediately doomed at that project.
