Touch the lower left side of the beak (the bird’s left) with the feeding implement, and angle the tip of the utensil toward the right side of the bird’s throat. The esophagus is located on the bird’s right side (it will be on your left as the bird faces you) and the windpipe runs down the center of the neck. Touching the feeding implement to the beak will usually elicit the feeding response, which involves the bird eagerly ‘pumping’ the food down into its crop.
Release the food slowly. Do not flood the beak or trachea. Anyways hope this helps makes me miss my parrot :| I dont know if chickens are the same as parrots and such birds but thats the deal with hand raising parrots n such birds...I imagine it's similar I used the same practice for wild birds I saved and stuff over the years

First, there is typically two bolts that clamp down on the blade and hold the adjustment. Loosen bolts, adjust, then tighten bolts.
If adjusted properly and the adjustment screw pops out indicating it isn't long enough, something is wrong. The chain may not be on track properly being the most common or the chain is stretched (worn) which is unlikely.
A properly-tensioned chainsaw chain should still be just a little loose on the chainsaw guide bar, but the chain needs to be tight enough that you can't pull the drive links out of the bar nose.A properly-tensioned chainsaw chain should still be just a little loose on the chainsaw guide bar, but the chain needs to be tight enough that you can't pull the the links out of the bar nose.A properly-tensioned chainsaw chain should still be just a little loose on the chainsaw guide bar, but the chain needs to be tight enough that you can't pull the drive links out of the bar nose.

ty for answering @perchie.girl 's question

That was my DHs response many times. I think he thought he was being helpful by not being demanding......when in fact he was not helping because I was tired of thinking of what to make and I wanted someone else to tell me what to make so I didn't have to think about what to make!

Now he is retired and he makes supper at least half of the time so the problem has been somewhat resolved.

@perchie.girl and
@NotAFarm , I use chain saws regularly. (Used to be co owner of tree company) Because DH is not as versed as I am on chain saws, I do all the chain sharpening and tightening. The chain should have a small amount of "play" in it. I think the rule is 1/4" gap. I tighten mine when it gets loose enough that it jumps off track. All you have to do is loosen the screws on the bar. Then pull the bar out a little, until the chain is tight. Then you tighten the screws back up. The link that @Bogtown Chick gave you shows you step by step. Very easy to do.

are you feeling better @NotAFarm ?

Yes, thank you. I'm still sneezing and sound a bit hoarse but much better than yesterday.

I am getting ready to go out and do some coop chores....we'll see how I sound after being out in the cold. It is 25F here now with 90% humidity.
