Well - we just need some more peeps on here to hatch chickes to feed @Ponypoor chickie need.
@rural mouse 's will be beginning feathering out in a week or two (and be in my favorite stage - the fugly stage - and no - it is NOT short for what you think - it is short for funny/ugly stage - but...
Hmmm, me thinks you are a bit confused. She comes running because she wants walnuts.
?sweet? She just knows 'what side her bread is buttered on" 🤭 🤭 🤭 🤭 🤭
Don't you just love how they train us??:lau🥰:lau🥰
I'm surprised there isn't more fighting - what with so many different Hummers using the same feeder. They are amazing fliers, aren't they! Bet our Air Force would love to have a plane that could maneuver & hover like them!
I have been told the universe is really organized Chaos. Glad you are having to deal with the chaos more than I...I just couldn't handle another thing on my plate right now.
Please don't be mad at me - but I just couldn't help but laugh. "We just want to be free! (horses).
And chooks always...
Pony Sunday.

I the US they are supposed to be washed with water that is at least 20 degrees hotter than the temp of the egg. I think it has to do with physics. If the water was colder, (egg warmer), it would chill the egg as being washed, egg would contract (contents inside the shell) and potentially draw...
Sorry I am so late responding...
They look so happy and healthy - they are clearly loved and well taken care of! I just love the 'jungle/branches in their tents - very imaginative - and I am sure they love all the different roosts and heights.
I do hope that your chick with teh bulging eyes...
Sometimes, it is loud because some people don't keep them warm enough - especially shipped chicks need it quite warm when they first arrive because they are starved and cold. The loud distressed peeps are very hard to listen too (mostly for me because I know they are unhappy - and it gets me...
Awwww, nothin' better than a warm, soft roost!!! 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰
Hope you enjoyed your company ❤️❤️
also hope that the Vet visit went well and was productive/helpful!
