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.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.

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.
