Dustifer Bones the First is a damn fine name. He must have been so proud!

He was. Just a great little dog. After a year or so I found him a wonderful home with a sweet little girl who was a little afraid of dogs. I had forgotten that when he first came to me he was a little leery of kids. I said I'd take him back if it didn't work out. A week later her mom called to say they were inseperable.. the only time they were apart was during the child's baths. So, a happy ending all around.

Today, “unnamed hen” got out of the crate as soon as I opened the human door. She ran out of the coop. and on her way out, she crapped the biggest crap I’ve seen a chicken crap.

Spoiler: poop photo

On camera it may not look very big, but oh boy, it was enormous.. and I knew she pooped in that moment because the stench was 13 times greater than the look of it… she smelled up the whole coop!! I had to step outside to take some breaths

. I apologize for being graphic, but I found it funny that as soon as she pooped, the poop was steaming in the cold weather. I really don’t know why that made me laugh.

I was so happy she did not poop on the eggs OR the closed off area around the crate… Seems like she will be good momma. She is very careful.

She pooped, drank, ate, and had some exercise for about 10-15 minutes, then she was about to head back to her eggs.. and I grabbed her to snap some photos:

This picture ^made me laugh .

I also took a beautiful photo of the sky as a plane flew above:

It looks so cool it almost looks fake!


I managed to take a photo of the eggs she is sitting on.

Back on the nest!

She had been broody for about two days before we decided to set her.
She is one of our 2 white silkie hens who look almost identical. I haven't figured out if she's our younger silkie (8-10 months old) or our older silkie (about 2 years old). I will try to do that in the next few days. She is most likely our older silkie because I doubt a 9 month old silkie would be broody so early.

She's never been broody before. Neither of the silkies have ever been broody.

No problem! I'll need all the help I can get!

Thanks, Blue!

My silkie went broody at 7 months and had a 100% hatch rate with 6 eggs. Was a great mother too. Good luck!!

Good luck with your hatch!

My imagination is really seeing something odd with this picture you have of the C-130 Hercules with landing gear down. The clouds like actually quite fake. Like a window lattice work was edited out but, the clouds show the center vertical beam and the 2 horizontal beams have the image in 6 stacked squares…..

I can not UN-see this now!

Interesting.

It's absolutely real, taken from my backyard.

Oh, I totally believe you. That’s why I intro’d with how my imagination just went into overdrive….

So here’s a tour of what I see. I copied your picture. Then I drew lines “just below” each horizontal line & “just to the right” of both vertical lines. The most prominent vertical line is how it passes just behind the vertical tail fin of the C-130!

Like I said initially, I am still having a seriously hard time UN-seeing the “fake lines” in your picture….. strange huh?

Hi there! Good luck with your hatching. Its always exciting.

Your broody hen looks like she could be called Esmeralda or Juniper or Claude.

Oh my lands, he's RIGHT! I see it now, too! Lol, @electrycmonk !

It's like somebody took bright blue finger paint on their finger and drew a grid on your photo. Only they squiggled the top right line a bit.
