Hello gorgeous

He unfortunately has structural issues with his poor toes and feet View attachment 3948672

His middle toes point inwards.

Princess has had a dodgy toe since I have had her. I think the Epsom salt helps her.

Did they say when you could expect to see results?

Nope! Got a Doc appt in another 6 wks. I'm just taking 1 day at a time. I've got severe scoliosis, bursitis, arthritis, kidney/gall stones, bum leg, slipped lumbar disk, a broken arm, numb fingers, carpal tunnel, bone growing on bone, etc. Each day is waking up to "what pains will I have today?"

Everything deteriorates so we've learned to appreciate whatever time we have & look forward to a thereafter Life where there's no more pain

DH brings me a Silkie ea day to pet or give treats which is a sweet highlight of the day. DH has his own online chicken friends but I do get him to look over my shoulder at the BYC captions contest where once in a while he throws in his own comments .

It isn't penciled. It's more like those of a brown leghorn which is golden duckwing (I think), but muddied.

Correction: brown leghorns are BBR (Black-Breasted Red) which means they have have male specific feather COLORS (black breast feathers) while the females have brown, tan, or salmon tones.

Has colors labeled.

Penciled is only in silver based birds (like dark brahmas. Partridge feather pattern is the SAME as penciled, but on a RED ground color (Pear, Grandma are partridge Plymouth rocks)

She has the "muddy" marks of a mixed breed (like most Bitsas), but as base descriptor, she's BBR.

It's very warm today, and sunny. I can always count on Gytha for sunbathing pics

It's rare that I catch anyone else doing it though!
