Hello FBA!
I've been trying not to, but I just have to give up, or more like @BY Bob , "sort of" give up. I can't manage to follow the thread daily right now. I know most of you really don't mind people dropping in and out, but I still feel guilty because I've been given very good advice on this thread and also so much support, I apologize and hope no one feels let down. It's not that I'm overbusy but I need to reduce my time on the internet and spend more time on house and garden chores and reading books. I will at least post fluffy butts Fridays, and try to keep up with the most important stuff. I'll be more active when I can manage to handle my time better. In the meanwhile, I hope the best for all the chooks and that all the chicks will now stay safe, and also keep those of you with health issues in my thoughts.

I haven't posted tofers for ages so I do have a few from since the beginning of February.

Those are beautiful.

Please continue to drop by whenever you can. I going to very much miss you not being here.

I do understand your issue as you can see I don't have time to even follow along on your thread or keep up with mine at the moment.

Lovely twofers @ManueB! I for one will miss you greatly on this thread, so do please come back whenever you can. Remember pictures for Fridays and Mondays and don’t forget Tuesdays and Thursdays. That should be enough in a week for us to benefit from your lovely contributions!!

Maybe we should all try and temper the number of posts we make?
Which is faster to read - the multi-quote approach (@ManueB uses that to good effect), or the multiple one-liners (@Ponypoor and I usually do that)?

I have been trying to hold back my more trivial posts because I am conscious that FBA would be nowhere near as wonderful if Bob and others fall back, and we have already lost a number of lovely FBA friends, who have given up on us because of volume.

I am a fast reader and ruthless at scanning (so I sometimes miss detail), I am also retired, and even I am finding I struggle. My strategy is very frequent very short engagement - if I miss a day I feel I am drowning!

Gratuitous tax picture because there is always time for a green chicken.

I fed the chooks. Hatching babies reminds me I need fertile silkie eggs to hatch and raise!!!! Someone send me silkies!

A bit better - I want to see it down around 140/80 at least though...

Then you must stop calling chickens tabby’s!
