Thank you!

Thank you Bob. Do you mean "him" though? I don't want your prayer to be inaccurate😟

Thank you all for the comfort. It makes me feel better to share it. I do apologize for hogging this thread for non-chicken related talks. I will make it up in the near future.
You have not "hogged" the thread. This kind of non-chicken-related sharing and request for support is perfectly fine IMO. Way more important than the pages and pages of non-chicken yakking that get posted here. :oops:

Making it up only means send in a chicken picture if you can. Technically you're supposed to send in the "tax" with the post but that is difficult for many to do and they post it afterwards.

I have chick pics on my PC where I am now. Here's one maybe will comfort you, I think it might be Popcorn, two weeks old maybe? It's a little fuzzy but I like how she's lifting her foot. She got the name Popcorn because she was fearless / reckless, she tried to jump out of the box she arrived in as soon as it was open and was always hopping up and jumping out of the raised brooder to greet me when I opened the mosquito netting doorway. She paid no attention to what was below or how far down it was. Of course wing flapping was not very effective. I set up a narrow window screen below the edge to be like a circus trapeze safety net! Most of the time she landed on me or I caught her. She still likes to jump on me on occasion, usually for better access to treats.

I have both!

I'm not sure if the pudding pearls are sago. I absolutely love it...
I cook it in water and cinnamon until softened, then add a little honey and store it into the fridge. I use a little at a time for a pudding then add little jersey milk while warming it up.

I was made to eat that at school and have never recovered!
Glad someone actually likes it though.

I think this hen is closer then I think. She is sticking to that nest like glue this morning. She saw me dump out a butter bowl full of macaroni noodles and open a can of wet cat food. Both have brought her off the hill in a instant. Not today. Today she is sneaking peaks under her, shuffling her weight more and is starting to talk to those eggs.
 
Oh, before I forget, here is the run that the chickens are in. I took this with my phone up to the chicken wire while I was in the guineas pen.View attachment 3365318
Edit: The chickens were up against the wire, so they were not visible.
This looks good but I can't see the ceiling. Is it secure up there?
 
I have been trying to find stumps for them. We cut a bunch if trees down, so there may be some stumps for them!
I use old chairs, I got one free by the roadside one day. Stumps would be better because then they would have a great time inspecting and pecking the sides.

Oh my gosh. She is something else if she pulls this off!
 
I need a distraction. I want to cry so bad. I'm shaking constantly and heavy breathing from anxiety because of my daughter. Its raining and idk if I should sit out there with my chooks. I haven't fed them yet and idk if i should let the teens out with this weather even though I want them all to mingle.

Another day won't make a difference to the chickens if you need to focus elsewhere.
Remember if you don't look after yourself first, then you won't be able to look after the chickens (or indeed the anxiety-causing daughter).
Big breath. You got this.
