@Ponypoor
A huge fright - for no reason ?
SHRA tax : pictures to make you laugh !
Clyde is wheezing 
, his breathing
sounds difficult. He will get Sulphatrim, aspirin, and peppermint or eucalyptus, which seem to help. The
cold weather may be the cause.
Fluffy cute dumplings Holly and Jolly and
beautiful Laverne.

@RebeccaBoyd
Miss E may possibly be a standard Brahma and not a bantam.
The Silkie coop project had a
temporary drawback but Rebecca is still
making her plans happen. And after some hassle for nothing...
all ended well, and
the project was completed !

@SimpleJenn
A few more

Not feeling good, but
day 5 is supposed to be the worse before a turnaround.
Some babies get adventures!
Sad news, a penguin chick passed. The others are thriving and bringing a lot of happiness to Jenn and her family!

From the past,
a roo named Trumpet !

what colour are Silkie's eggs

@TOMTE
A stomach issue with
eating their girl's eggs ?!
Also asked for tips to clean and trim butts, with a lot of different helpful answers :
Speckled eggs, or
oyster shell indigestion?
Congratulations for
your member interview ! Your enthusiasm and sincerity shine through, and the pictures and story of the discworld hens are wonderful.

Had to
say goodbye to her little unwell leghorn, leaving
only Turvy of her four leghorns. Every chicken keeper know how difficult and sad that decision is

An interesting post about
raising chicks in the coop.
Three babies ! One of which is
very "vocal" , but how cute are the
three sleeping beauties!
Sharing beautiful bittersweet memories from
their first Australorps.
