That's Mrs BY Bob. A manicure never lasts long.

Mrs BY Bob eats off her toenail polish? I envy her flexibility!

He should know better. He's been caught in the cross fire on my thread several times when all the book nerds get going @ once! I just hadn't even bought a chicken book yet because I couldn't find one that seemed to cover everything I wanted covered & Shad just will not pull his finger out!

I didn't think it was possible for anyone to own more books than I do ~ but you just might have me beat, Kris.

And if we really are having an online book club please be advised my copy won't be here till mid February & I do want to be included!

Right! Time for a return wind up! I hope you can't read the print.
These are pages from the book The Chicken, A Natural History.
I've got my copy thank you.

It kinda seems that I want to now too! This would leave me with 4 (I can't handle this anymore)

My beloved Canna Canna just died in my arms at 10:09 PST Canna, I love you. Goodbye my blessed friend.

My copy arrives next week or the week after. I can't wait as I don't have a decent chicken-book.

So sorry for your loss. I know you will take this hard, but don't forget your other friends (chicken and human) need you and are here for you.

I've got to be a bit blunt here and point out that examination, research and treatment are far more likely to help your hen than praying.

I will pray for you Shad. Canna died in my arms at 10:09 PST.USA

Not doing too well here. Fudge is sick.

I'm on it but between lockdowns delaying the post and problems with brand names etc atm things are not looking good. There is almost always an underlying problem with crop disorders and they are not things either me or Gloria the vet here are equiped to deal with.
Amyway. I'll try everything I can and hope.
Here she is with Fat Bird. Fat Bird knows.

I am sorry she's died Alex and even sorrier for the pain you're going through but in my world praying hasn't helped anyone.
Sick chickens and sick people need vets and doctors. In the event that they are not availible then whatever knowledge one can glean and make use of.
I think we should leave it there.

I did my best. I gave her a nice warm place to sleep her last night on earth. She said goodbye to me in her own way, her weak head pressed against my cheek, little bokboks weaker and weaker. Then she rested, for eternity.
