Designing Chicken Themed Shirts

[Sheriloo3]

If you are happy with their position on the shirt you can order them now ^-^
If not, I can modify them today to move them further up now that the prior orders are made and shipped!

I will certainly take a look! Christmas is around the corner, how fun would it be for us all to have matching tops!!

I just checked out the site and unfortunately, the right sizes and colors are not available. I would like the Patridge broody with the multicolored chicks in 2xl women's premium v neck in teal (2 of those) plus a woman's medium same design and color.

I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open and wait till they come back in stock!!

Sorry I have been absent so long!
Health issues, personal issues, chicken issues.

So my wound is all healed up now ^-^ Medication to keep it getting infected was rough and made me exhausted.

Personal issues are... harder to explain. Long story short, I love my BF and don't want to break up, but I can not live with him anymore. He is an alcoholic and I just can't live with him until he gets help. He didn't take my decision well, 3 day bender and almost needed hospital (well, DID need hospital but point blank refused to go). I'm not moving yet, probably not until the lease is up in 6 months.

Chicken problems. So overall the incubation of my silkies went well. One small power out but it only lasted 5 minutes. 8 hatched, 2 were early quitters. The last two were heartbreaking. One was nearly fully unzipped but broke its yolk sack before it finished and drowned. I noticed the yolk bubbling around the unzipping area and rushed to try and save it but it was too late. The last egg had stopped moving and was at day 25, candling showed no signs of life. I opened it up and the poor baby had died right after turning around to start pipping, without an internal pip.

One of my hens Coriander went broody just shy of a week after my silkies went into the incubator. I let her sit on a dozen eggs. She sat well up until day 16. She was looking really worse for ware, pale comb and lost a lot of weight. She hadn't been drinking or eating despite the food and water that was right next to her. Day 16 and 17 she kept getting off the nest for extended periods, and day 18 I found she had abandoned the nest entirely, the nest was cold.
I put the eggs right into the incubator in the hope that something would survive. Candled that night, at least 6 eggs are still alive. Fingers crossed.

Today while checking on my silkies in the brooder, I noticed one baby was sitting weird, while everyone else was up and running around. She (I hope its a she lol) has a mild case of splayed leg. I have her inside with me, in a splint to help correct that. Between this extra attention and the daily cuddle times I have with the chicks, she is becoming attached very quickly. I try putting her down in a box with food and water, she cries. I put my hand in to pet her and she wiggles herself into my hand and lays down. Right now she is in my top and sleeping with her head against my heart.

Splay leg baby is the bottom left, also the youngest and hatched with a bit too much yolk not absorbed for my liking.
The whole clutch is from a mixed flock with 3 different coloured roos, and near 2 dozen hens of different colours. Breeder said the possible colours were: White, Paint, Black, Blue, Splash, Brown and Grey.
While a chicken person, she only keeps silkies for fun and specialises in other breeds, and doesn't know genetics at all (I had to explain exactly how recessive and dominant white are different as she didn't know there was one for example). She also couldn't tell me exactly which colour the "brown" her silkies were, just that there were a couple different looking ones *sigh*.
There is also a slim possibility that a roo from the next pen who was flying over the fence a few weeks prior MIGHT be the dad of one or even all. He is a silkie X Araucana, which really complicates things. The breeder did say that she hadn't caught him in the silkie pen in over a month though.

So what do you guys think? What colours do I have here?


Onto the art. Once little splayed leg bub is better, I will be getting back to the art. In the mean time, I will be going back through the thread and responding to everything I missed.
Thank you so much everyone who sent well wishes!

@Zemeraire - I hope you don’t mind, but I’m curious to know! How has the Teespring thing been going for you? Considered it and had some basic photo shirts and stuff on ours but it seemed slow. Do you have good success with your drawn logos? Good luck!

Z, glad to hear from you, and that things are a bit better.
All the best,
Mary

We’re glad to hear from you! I hope things get better. Your silkies are adorable I’m looking into getting one this spring

For the silkie colors, I see paint, white, possibly lavender/blue, partridge, and the brown colored one I'm not sure. Buff or red, maybe?
