i seriously can't get enough of those flood chickens - they seem to be having so much fun paddling around.

But I can never find that ‘Any Key’ they talk about!

What any key?

What any key?

Exactly her point!

I think the raised scales are because of her missing leg feathers....

Do they moult those along with the rest of their feathers? I have never noted my silkies leg/foot feathers moulting…. They are likely replacing them separately over time I figured.

I certainly never noted Henny Penny losing her fuzzy feet! I told her this morning she walked like a duck I think the bok bok bok was telling me off haha!

Thank you for the laugh folks - I am still miserable here - and if I find out who gave me this virus I will make them do hay this summer! It has been a struggle all week here at work - then doing chores also…

I just want to go home and go to bed! Or sleep on a hay bale…. Anywhere!

BFTP Thirsty Thursday

Gosh those chicks even from last week have grown! Bert was trying to jump his mum this morning, Henny was going to clobber him - he’s a cheeky boy now! And that Betty is an independent little thing - she goes off on her own chowing down with the big girls who just ignore her

I think Henny is back to laying eggs, I got two silkie eggs yesterday, one is Marty’s and I bet the other is from Henny Penny. Good! I need all four of them laying eggs, next month I will go and get my friends silkie Roo, and put with those four. Come the end of May I should have a bunch of silkie babies to look forward to!

And I think that will be it for babies this year; if I put 2 dozen eggs in the incubator and if most of them hatch, that will be an awful lot of chickens running around here! And if someone does get really bad broody like Sophia did last year, I can always get chicks I guess - if I have to. Now that I know Peavey gets them in almost weekly…. Maybe some Midnight Majesty Marans - I have been reading and seems they are a hybrid of likely cuckoo Marans and/or BR!

@RoyalChick look black with feathered legs and dark brown eggs - oh yes I need some of those !!!! Oh well what’s 3 more…..

I’ll need names people….

Sir Jaffar won’t leave Dakota in peace. He was out in the coop crowing at her while she was in a nest box. I took him away so she could lay her egg in silence.
Dakota left the box and started putting wood chips on her back. Funny watching them do that.
Now the roo is inside the house with me.

Um, nope - I think that is called 'Twister', and not @Ponypoor 's Twister - rather the game where you get all jumbled up and end up falling over.

Tried to get an AI version of microsoft + chickens, but it didn't work (I was thinking that microsoft could never build automated cars, as you would regularly have to open the door, hold the antennea and turn the key to reboot/restart the car. And, Apple couldn't really either, as while the cars would run really well - they would only operate on 10% of the roads - so you could never get where you needed.

• AI is not so good at generating what I wanted. Maybe I will put a real chicken to work on it:

Hahahaha so that’s how I reboot Ol Blue!

Ok so I can name one of those MM Marans chicks I am ordering Blue - I need a pickup date - shipping here started 30th April (Tuesdays every week after that).

Or maybe a silkie named Bleu

A Microsoft car would also need a product key that needs activation all the time, along with the need for a Microsoft account to open the navigation app.

The Apple car would stop working if you put a third party accessory or part on it citing "saftey" all the time.

And I am thinking of all those extra useless code items on a MS vehicle - slowing it down all the time.

Teeheehee - baaabbbies

Mwahahaha bay baby baby baby
