She looks fine to me, maybe she is growing into them.

Have to say they are looking lovely young ladies now They aren’t babies anymore!

Been noticing the amber cast especially when the sun is going through them because they stick out. Thought her eye color is different and compared to Picaboo I can verify it is. Maybe she’s a week or two behind. Maybe it won’t change. Here’s the post link

@Ponypoor, you know what this chicken has.

Maybe she wants outside..?

I put her outside and she protested, wanting to go back inside. I took Aero in with me. She’s a beautiful golden feathered basketball! Everyone loves air conditioning on a hot day!

Maybe you should send up a flare, I’m sure that no one could find you in there.

Oh, believe me, "muggy" is used in the US as well, especially in the Southeast.

In Newfoundland we call it mauzy (maw-zee). One would say ‘it’s right mauzy out there today’.

Of course in Newfoundland it rarely ever gets over 30C maybe once a yr. Maybe a bit more in the interior. So for me unless it’s above 20C I just think of it as damp.

I wonder how much overlap there is between the conditions we'd use it for. "Muggy" to my mind is unpleasant. Temperatures above 30C aren't unpleasant. Feeling like you're dying needs a stronger descriptor than that.

@Ponypoor I'd love to learn some other Newfoundland words for types of weather or mud, if you can think of any? (And if this derail will be permitted, subject to payment of the relevant taxes of course.) This is something I find fascinating as a landworker with an interest in historic ways of working, and language.

To me, muggy means being stuck in a shower room with no escape, full of steam and heat. But worse, because the sun is beating down.

And you are asking PonyPoor? I’m sure that conversation would last weeks, if not months. Not a bad thing to have family history and values.
