Strange but true: I had to tell HE that we should NOT order more chicks right now! I know. Can't believe (A) that I'm saying no to more of any animal and (B) that it's HE that wants more chicks. I did check around for a giant alien pod. Nope. Must still be him. Still, it's very weird.

Things to remember: Do this in a well-ventilated space away from sources of ignition. Cover the animal in swaddling/fabric to keep it dry, warm and dark. MUST be an airtight container. Use more than you think you need, then use more. Then more. Seal tightly and walk away. Don't crack it open to...

We used engine starter spray in an airtight (Tupperware) container for a kitten born with a badly twisted spine. My uncle (veterinarian) suggested it. If you need more details, pm me please.

So sorry @orrpeople ! Yeah, some people just need :smackor maybe a Gibbs-slap. If you aren't an NCIS fan, I apologize.

Y'all can show her support here. Unless you have a helicopter and a place to take her, her family, and all her animals? Yeah, it's hard to feel like you want to help but can't. Feeling useless and without control is very hard. Once the worst flooding recedes, then the healing can start...

@orrpeople You can only do so much, and adulting means making the hard decisions. I do not think it makes you a bad person! It makes you a rational sane adult. :hugs Still sucketh, but it is what it is.

We are learning of the importance of planning ahead! You've got those sweet fluffy butts, knowing they grow up. How do you keep them safe should some natural disaster occur? "Food for thought is no substitute for the real thing"

Y'all are sweet peeps to worry about me, but I'm fine.b far from the epic tragedy. I have 11 people and 3 pets sheltering with me and keeping me busy. Your thoughts and prayers ARE appreciated. Hugs to y'all.

Aaaahhhhh! No worries. No wonder google gave me OO. Goose eggs.

@Please forgive my noobieness, but Whats a 55FH?

I understand about your mixed feelings. I hate the idea of feeding the predators. Not the kind of positive reinforcement anyone needs!

Yes, white one is Delaware. Yes, possum walking the high wires along back fence a coup,e of evenings ago. Saw two, one met my snake shovel. No issues with anything getting into coop or run so far.

I'd rather process birds, or anything, in the cold! Hot fire with scalding water, hard sweaty smelly work, and the need to cool the meat just seem easier to me in the cold. But, to each their own.

Ive kept doves in the past. They were among my favorites. I could fall asleep anywhere listening to their soft coos. Sweet birds.

First one is an EE. Most of mine look similar. I'll try getting pics of the pretty red EE roo. There's also two pullets with yellow heads that are quite pretty. Kind of sorry already I won't have a Cuckoo Maran now. I'll get over it though. Thinking of what I'll order next!

@WVduckchick thats fantastic! Good job! Ok pics of the chicks from today. Not great ones, but now there are so many fewer of them it's harder to catch them together! Redid the roosts today in the henhouse. Now they might stop roosting on top of each other vying for the "best" spots.
