Can I Paint Your Birds?

Ruby, my Rhode Island Red Bantam hen! She is my favorite flock member. The sweetest chicken I have ever had－she loves to be around humans more than her own species, and enjoys coming inside to peck around on the ground and explore. Ruby's voice is like no other chicken I have heard. It is squeaky and high-pitched, and absolutely adorable! It definitely does not sound like she is clucking, more like a cute version of crying. My name that my chickens have given me is "Waa-Waa" but in Ruby's voice it sounds like "Wee-Wee"!

That is the smoothest coloring I have seen in a RIR! Almost like she is made of plastic!

I bet that sounds so darn cute!

How about my Miso? She's since passed on, but she was a hilarious ISA Brown. She was blind in one eye and always had a cute head tilt. Her favorite food was cheese, and she would sneak up on the deck and peck at the door until I would go out and give her a few strands of shredded cheese.View attachment 3908102View attachment 3908103 View attachment 3908104

That head tilt is illegally cute! She reminds me of a puppy wondering what you are saying!

I can’t not treat them like my children haha! They act just like mischievous toddlers or moody teenagers! Their father is a buff Orpington and their mother is a salmon favorelles.

I'm sorry about Vicky. It's so sad that tour feather babies don't have very long lives.

I use dog nail trimmers or a dremmel. Most of the birds don't need it- just a few extra special ones, lol.

Somewhere in that moment is when she was injured. I was convinced for a while that something stung her. But now I suspect something broke/dislocated/snapped inside of her and her "freak out" was because it scared/hurt her. I don't really know, though, of course. It's all speculation.

I wish they all live as long as Peanut the chicken did (was the world's oldest chicken at 21 yrs when she died
)

How do you see the quick in the nail? Or do you at all?

Oh geez. Poor Maleficent. That was very sudden.

I guess SLW have a heavier build than my other chickens.

They jump off their perch and it sounds like you are in Jurassic world with the T-rex stomping.

LOL!
One time Vicky tried to get on the perch but then she tumbled off and broke one of the steps going up to their perch

21 years is amazing! I had no clue they could live that long. Wow!

How do you see the quick in the nail? Or do you at all?

I can’t see the quick. I just take a tiny bit off and look. If there’s no spot, I take a little more. Similar to how I do my dogs’ black nails. If I can’t tell, I just take a little off and leave it at that.
