I still have to set up the heat plate. The lamp will do for now

There is something special about you as a person. I thought all of these things but when the time came to write them down, I could not. I am so thrilled to have you as part of our community. There are others here like you as well, I won't list them because a list can become exclusionary and I don't want to miss people. Let me just say that your compassion and humanity are evident in this post. I am so glad to know you.

Thank you Bob! This community and this thread makes space for everyone. That is so nice!

I had forgotten about this. Well done!

Wow, did this make it over to the States? Joe did well then!

‘Ditto’ for the sentiment and for the picture. I think a chicken asleep with their head under their wing is as lovely as a cat curled up.

Someone ventured out in the snow. For a couple of steps at least!
Seriously, why have all my emojis gone? I like BYC emojis, it makes me sad. Also why can’t I post full size pictures? Something has changed with BYC!

I’m using the app and emojis are now first on the left. Photos are loading normally. I know @Aussie-Chookmum is having problems too.

Just footprints. (queue the missing laugh emoji)
And has everyone else lost the 'post full size' option for the pictures?

Definitely a little odd. The edit box is all swapped around and full of extensions.

I've been on my PC and noticed things are different. Emojjis are way on the upper left. Quoted messages with pictures - not as a hotlink, the pictures are shown. However I still see hotlinks to pictures on others' quotes. I noticed my pictures are smaller when I posted them from my phone (only way I can upload because our internet is too slow). I usually choose thumbnail but they are smaller than they used to be.

A Little bit of sad news. I lost the last chick that hatched last night, they one mom cracked the egg on thinking it was a dud. 3 days of round the clock care and it seemed to be coming around until it just crashed yesterday evening and started seizing and was gone in 2 minutes. I have horrible guilt over this. But on a happier note, the other 4 are thriving and being little pigs. After the final brooder clean up last night I refilled their feeder for them and woke up this morning to find out they were ready to try dustbathing. Over night they threw half of their feed out and were trying to roll in it. So I went out and got a tub of sawdust for them and while I took out their brooder box to clean again gave them their tub of sawdust. It was a big hit, and going to let them play in it several times a day now so maybe, just maybe they will not empty their feeder again for fun.
