Not a good thing.

Indeed. I have intervened twice. Hattie can't really run away or fight back with her arthritis.

Is that like a stall rake for horse stalls? I should get one. Right now the pine just flies around when they flap. What flooring do you have?

Did you get the coarse kind of shavings? I can’t see that flying around. TSC have two types. I try to get the coarse kind.

Yay! Sounds like you have a decent neighbor for once.

Yes for once. He’s from another church in town.

Sweet baby, getting old is the pits! She is so pretty.

Wow! Those "--cam" meds are like pep pills on steroids! My vet prescribed metacam(?spelling) for one of my Silkies yrs ago & it perked her right up!

Metacam = Meloxicam. Brand name and generic name

I don’t have the heart to take down the pictures of Phyllis in the chickens room. And I don’t want to.

Yea I have given some thought while mucking stalls - could be a whiting true green. As for the straight comb - well who knows.

I now more eggcited than ever to see egg colour.

The WTG are supposed to lay green eggs and tend towards reds.

I’d call that a rose comb…. what do I know??

That does look like a rose comb based on this guide.

Sadly, the comb identification guides are set up for adult combs. What we really need is a side by side comb development pics for all comb types.

You don't have to
