    RIP Bert!😭😭

    This is Bert. He was my foster cat, I brought him home from the humane society in March while he was waiting for surgery on an ear hematoma scheduled for the beginning of April. He was the sweetest most affectionate cat ever. He just wanted to be loved on, nothing else, just love in any form you...

    Too cute to not share

    Dove(tortie) and Bert(white and black) are two cats I am fostering for the Lincoln County Humane Society, Wisconsin. Bert is here while he waits for surgery on his ear, and Dove is here learning how to trust people. Dove has been extremely shy and only started to come out of her shell after she...

    Gray body reddish chest

    I have three girls that look just like this. They came from different locations (but those places may have all used Hoovers hatchery for some of their chicks). I am not sure what color eggs they lay as I get both brown and blue eggs but I think they might be blue?( I have close to 20 birds so I...

    Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish

    If you blow a bubble with your gum and then swallow the bubble whole at what point do you think it would pop inside your digestive system? And would you be able to feel it pop? Does how “well chewed” or stiff the gum is make a difference to when it will pop? Does the thickness of the bubble wall...

    Color washing off eggs

    So I have two marans chickens, one blue, one wheaten. I like to wash my eggs just with a washcloth under running water before putting them in the fridge. I have noticed that one of the marans has the dark color that withstands the quick washing just fine and the other will wash completely away...

    Chicken waterer design search

    Is there a waterer out there that has a handle both on the top and on the bottom? I do not have outdoor water in the winter (due to freezing temps in Wisconsin) so I need to fill up the waterers inside. They all seem to have the carrying handle on the top only so I need to flip them inside, or...

    Hard to say goodbye to this foster kitty!

    I fostered little Snidget here with her momma, aunt and 5 siblings starting in early September. They came in to the local shelter from a house that had 63 cats living there! Poor Snidget was only 164gm when I brought her home. Her eyes were very crusty and for the first month of her life she...

    My weirdo chickens refuse to go to bed🙄

    My chickens appear to be broken and refuse to go to bed on their own at night. At first it was just one then two but tonight I’m up to 5 that are just casually wandering around the yard even though the sun has been down well over an hour. Coop was cleaned today, so that isn’t the issue. They go...

    What color is this?

    I believe she is a laced Wyandotte, but would she be considered a gold laced, blue laced gold, what? She came from Hoover’s hatchery this spring in the “rare breed assortment” which did not list regular gold laced as one of the options (although I am aware things happen). The first picture is a...

    Show me your plumage

    There are so many different intricacies and variations of feather patterns that it is fascinating. My first instinct is to look at the beauty of the whole bird almost from a distance, but then, when you examine them closer, you start to see the complexity of the patterns and how each feather is...

    My hens are crowing

    I have a flock of 22. One 3 year old rooster, 13 pullets and 8 adult hens ages 1-3 years. Over the last few weeks the rooster has been fading- staying in the coop more, not always roosting on the top bar at night anymore, and now he is having difficulty walking. He is unfortunately destined to...

    Him or her? I’m on the fence.

    It’s been a few years since I had a GLW and technically I didn’t order any but this is what was shipped to me: this bird’s comb started to get pink at about 4 weeks old, but then kind of stopped at pink- it hasn’t really gotten bright red yet. It also has some slightly darker gold to its wings...

    Prairie bluebell egger or “rare” breed from variety pack

    She came from Hoovers. I ordered assorted marans, prairie bluebell eggers, Andalusians and assorted rare breeds. (The mostly white one) About 8 weeks old so obviously I don’t know her egg color yet. She is definitely interesting to look at with her gray head and red chest and highlights.

    Chicken math is calling!

    😬I ordered 20 chicks that arrived 2/28. 20 was more than I wanted but due to shipping minimums that’s what I ended up with. So to be responsible I sold a few to my neighbor(this was agreed upon at time of order) and then after that had a coworker purchase some. Well chicken math hit my coworker...
