Why would a fully grown rooster want to be close like this to me? I don’t put him up on my chest, he just wants to. He’s 9 pounds of wants to!
Sweetest roo since Sir Jaffar I’m guessing.
Lord Jesus knows what I need

And I caught this Robin stuffing it’s beak full of dried grass, best I could get of this wee one. It’s a bit late making a nest.

You’ll need to zoom in - the statue is a turtle that used to actually be a fountain…

Listen very carefully to me. I need some real help here. I called CeeCee a troublesome hen, and now my rooster has me pinned down! Mr Wyandottey takes no prisoners!View attachment 4126706

Very smart for a Golden Laced Wyandotte. He’s show quality and I got lucky meeting him.

DS gave me sad news. He had to go alone w/their sick kitty to the vet. Cleo was 18 yrs old & for several yrs they were giving her 2 insulin injections per day. It was finally time to let her go to kitty heaven . I can't post her sad little face wrapped in a blanket at the vet so here's a happier pose.

Oh I am so sad to hear this, it is the down side of loving our pets. Always saying goodbye.

She was such a lovely fluffy moggy

Chickens don't like bandages...I don't think any animal does. I've had dogs & chickens both that would even try ripping band-aids off my own body. Vets have to use head cones on animals that they bandage. Our previous cat had surgery & to prevent her from licking/chewing her stitches loose she was equipped w/a head cone till she was healed. We had a Cockatiel rescue who had picked himself bald so we put a head cone on him till all his feathers grew back normal. We do whatever we can to successfully treat our ill/injured pets.

Whenever we had chickens that had to be Vet Wrapped (bumblefoot or ripped toes), we used white first aid tape to adhere the vet wrap to the chicken's upper leg & kept her in the house to watch that it was staying secure. That first aid tape is a b*tch to remove so our birds gave up pecking at the bandage. We watched that the tape stayed secured &, if needed, we wrapped another strip around anything coming loose. Chickens are stubborn peckers but I'm more persistent than them!

Muffy was ok with her dressing the first week, after that nope!

Now Laverne, she could have cared less! She didn’t mind the dressing, I would change it out and she would hop back down and go about her business.

Each is an individual.
