Just checking in. I look at what is up for swap still but never seem to get on when it is something I want. I think they lost me with the new site. I still have a silhouette to do for buffbeauty. I also have a note on my computer that says puppy pants and a few other things. I did join the...
It is probably from the black star sex link hen with a white silkie roo. He has a thing for her. They both have the best personalities of the bunch. I don't know off the top of my head if the silkie feathering will come out possibly on that chick. It looks extra puffy. My silkies always need up...
Since the changes to the postal system I've been having less and less luck with hatching shipped eggs to the point of eight sets in a row with nothing. They have been purposely damaging the boxes where they are marked fragile so I no longer am shipping eggs. A clear shoe print on the box over...
Jim,
I've found some of the silkies can be treated like everyone else and some are more fragile. I have my current batch of chicks in a tub in the living room because they can't handle the temperature fluctuations. These are the smallest I have got. They can also be a bit dense and may need to...
I really like it! Would look great in HDR. I'd like to see a little more foreground so you really get the feeling he is contemplating that frozen dandelion.
Another yay for the chiropractor here. I love mine but they can tend to be a bit foofy. Mine likes to do resistance testing which I think is bunk but I go along with it because it amuses them and they are otherwise great and the treatment works.
I still think I am behind on an item or two and...
Cool! So the chipmunk must be from two white parents since white can hide other colors.
I know I owe something or things and I'm very sorry. Life keeps happening and I'm falling apart a bit at the seams. Please let me know what I owe. I would try to look back and decipher it but with the...
I hang a piece of greens. Kale or spinach. Chickens ate food, real food, long before science and I'm comfortable with that. Bagged chicken kibble from the store left mine vitamin deficient.
I was doing bagged dog food at over $1.50lb. I give them table scraps. We eat healthy and bland so that's not a big deal. A chicken leg quarter everyday and a couple times a week I throw in eggs, tuna, or other meat. I don't do the supplements or get too fancy. They do eat organic chicken feed...
I checked everything from the unplugged incubator and only one was developed correctly and one looked like it quit the week before. I just cannot get over how many I have received and how badly they are handled by the po. So nearly 40 eggs and two had a chance. I guess I'm done hatching.
I don't mind the shipping cost. I've become more homebound and swapping greatly helps me stay more connected to the outside world. We've been very fortunate this year and I cannot do the charity I used to do in person so my slightly higher shipping cost doesn't cost more than the gas I used to...
Does anyone else have interest in the local salsas or any of the other TexMex foods? I don't want to keep offering them if they aren't wanted. We pass where they make them almost weekly so it isn't a big deal to get them but I also don't want a bunch of flavors I thought looked neat but I...
I can't really blame him for unplugging it. Every outlet in the place looks like Chevy Chase's Christmas tree with four of the ten plug extension cords and more extensions plugged into them. Thankfully my silkie girl won't have much weather to deal with since it was warm enough to run out in...
I give up. Found the incubator unplugged, again. Either a temp spike, or a forgetful person (not me), or the post office handling, or an exploder, or no humidity, or aliens abduct my eggs. Luckily my silkie girl is broody and still has some of Henthymes eggs. This is her first go at being a...
