That is a lovely photo!

Part of it I suppose, comes from the fact that a forum isn't always adapted to many people interacting both at similar and disjointed times. But sometimes discussions off topic can be interesting as well.

I'm very much guilty of chatter, though more on shadrach's thread, I'm afraid. I have been indeed thinking of starting my own since I blurb so much about my chickens, but then I tell myself that if I'm going to spend more time on BYC I should be reading other threads from people who know way more about chickens than I do .

Yesterday attempted mugshots as tax. I finally succeeded an getting two that weren't blurry. It's a difficult excercise! Brune and Blanche.

I spent my fourth grade (year 5 for Brits) in NY at PS84 and my 11th grade (y 12) at Berkeley High , and in France attended an international junior and senior high school. So not much too do with talent and everything with privilege but these were great, mind opening experiences!

That's pretty incredible. Such wonderful experiences for you. It must have been hard making and keeping friends though.

Gucci's wing seems fine. I do not see any issues ongoing with it.

I beg to differ sir, Is Gucci okay? She can’t perch like the rest, nor is she as energetic as she should be (only my opinion) but I love the little gal.

Wonderful experience I sure!

How are your animals handling this heat? I am seeing a lot of news on TV about the extreme heat in Europe

Hmmmm - well my silkies were like wee Gucci, they couldnt fly worth (still can't. But they crash real well ), it wasn't till my cousin's hens arrived and the Silkies were much older that they figured out the fly/hop thing to get up on the roosts, they were also not as energetic as the Easter Eggers, didn't dig the same, fluff around the same, run amok and cause trouble.... They were slower.

Now they roost and fluff about and run (if they want to!). But they are different, slower to move, not as flighty, but they are just as smart!

I think Gucci just needs some.e growing up

Hey everyone. We are finally home, she ended up having surgery this afternoon to put a plate in. I figured she would need surgery but I was thinking more like tomorrow or Wednesday. She was not happy and at one point I thought I would have to tie her down to the bed. She was not prepared to hear surgery this morning and her anxiety kicked into high gear. She is resting now but is as hateful as a black snake. I'll take it though because the worst is now behind us. This will take 2 to 3 months to fully heal and she is not allowed back on the horse until then.

How is she doing this morning? Hope anxiety and frustration is down enough to be able t 'tolerate' her! I can absolutely understand her reaction....as a young teen, they really don't understand long term implications of injuries! My heart goes out to you both...hope it isn't too long of s summer for either of you!

The young heal fast, forget fast, and get into trouble even faster
