Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Wait. I think I figured it out.
Wow. I'll have to devote some time to this!

I'm usually in here using my phone.
In portrait format you don't see as much as you would holding your phone "landscape" style, but it's harder to type and whatnot that way.

That happened to a few of us. All using our phones in portrait mode and missing stuff. Then someone said "turn your phone to landscape." Pretty sure we all face palmed.

My little one is penguin obsessed right now- she calls them hongwins I, too, went through an embarrassing penguin obsession as a teenager could be worse! I'd rather have my kids be all about penguins than some teeny bopper pop star

A girl I went to school with, her done refuses to believe "hamster" is a real word. (He's 2) So he calls them tunnel beavers.

This is on the Crele Orpington. Lemondrop really hates that bird. I have posted on an AL Silkie FB page and 3 people want him, I just don’t think live close enough.

They sell shipping boxes for adults . . . If the buyer paid the postage, why not?

Smart kid! Habitrail hampsters, or tunnel beaver, I like beaver better!

It came off and skin is dry and cracked.

Hard to tell here, but looks like white dry flakes. But I don’t see anything moving.

How old are they? Chick down shedding out? Scab on foot would flake off.

White flakes could just be the casing coming off of new feathers. If you dig down into their feathers to the skin, do you see anything crawling around? When mine had mites I was able to see them though sometimes it took a bit of digging to get to the skin. Did you give them any treats, like pumpkin that could have gotten on the foot? It looks a little orange to be blood, but that may just be the photo. I might put vasoline or bag balm on the feet/ legs as a precaution, but I'd def dig around in the butt feathers to check for mites, though someone w/ more experience may have other ideas of what it could be.

5 weeks or so. I do think it is the down shedding out. It looks like iridescent glitter.

I had pot roast last night before trick or treating. Delicious!!!! Cats & dogs will nibble on you after you die, but only if it's awhile before someone finds you. They usually go for the face & hands because they are the most accessible. Dogs are more notorious for this than cats.
