Hey Chaco, with the big beautiful eyes. How are you coping with the heat?

Sorry about the stings. If you get another one, run right in the house and make a slightly runny paste of baking soda and water. Put that on the sting area and within just a minute or two the pain and swelling are gone. I've done this multiple times on myself and my children and it has never failed me. It's as if it never happened.

Thanks for this tip!

I"m calling you on this one! So are leghorns, orpingtons, frizzles, barred rocks, and, of course EEs. Am I incorrect?

Um what about Silkies

Is there a problem loving lots of chickens?

Unmmmmmmmmm , not fictional, imaginary. There's a difference: one you make up (fictional, false), the other you can explain and justify, but can show 'reality'(i.e. concreteness) in this dimension.

I was pretty good at math up to imaginary numbers. That's when the whole concept got away from me. I think I'm too much of a concrete thinker.

At least thats my story...........

Math tax

Such beautiful white chickens. How do you keep them so clean?

Fluffy Butt Acres the Primer

I have finally done it. I created an article that is a basic guide to this thread. I plan on continuing to update it. If anyone has any idea on information which I could also include to help people jumping onto the thread be able to participate without having to read 9,000+ pages, please let me know.

Fluffy Butt Acres: A Primer

Thank you so much for taking the time and doing this . I'm sort of ashamed to admit I had slowed down very much on catching up after the first two hundred pages. This was just what I needed.

I do have a question, I haven't been brave enough to ask before. English is my second language and I'm not sure I could find an exact definition of what a mug shot is exactly . Is it a close up, or does it mean the picture should include only the face, like an ID ?

I think I did understand what a toefer was (or however it's spelled)!

Chipie, my mamma bantam, is a very human defiant hen, and she is teaching her chicks to be.
However yesterday there was a turning point when they were hanging around us at lunch and my partner threw them a little piece of cheese.
She came up to the table and started making broody screams at us for more.
We didn't access her demands, and this is what happened when we had finished eating.

One of the little chicks still can't fly at three weeks, he's growing much slower than the others and hasn't grown proper wings feather yet. I hope he catches up and it doesn't become a problem.

I'm so glad you found it helpful. For our purposes, a mug shot is just a close up of a chicken's face.
