Fuzzy... I saw he coop in a backyard chicken mag... my only thought was
I would hate cleaning all that dust off of everything...
But the chair would be perfect for chicken cuddles!!!!

Did you put up flyers at the store? I'm sure someone has taken her indoors and she can't get back.

Yes. and Man, i sure hope that's the case. Thanks

Did you try posting her on FB
Try:
For the Love of Louie *Michigan Lost Pet Lookers*
I had no knowledge of that tool. Thanks !
Bry has posted in several places, and requested that his friends do the same. That should alert a large number of people too.

Morning all
BobBry another place to post is Craigslist put in pet and lost and found. Put up flyers where ever you cand think of.When school starts back up after break ask if you can put up a flyer at the schools, kids know if they have taken in a dog. Also the bus garage as the drivers are ususally moms in the area and also may have seen it being up higher. And hearing kids talk. Also flyers in vets offices. Just some thoughts

Thanks lots. I'll see if I can do that.

ha ha ha

Made me laugh, Thanks.

She's a pretty gal. Now I know where Rotten Ruby gets her cute side. It sure ain't from the pug side.

ANYWAY! Ladies and Gent, my boy is 7 today. I am making him a vanilla cake. With white icing... and a chicken picture on it. Yes. Not kidding. Not one darned bit. Only he wants a silkie. How the heck am I going to make a silkie out of icing? Oh. Geez. Will definetly get a picture of it. I may have to talk him in to letting me do a regular old rooster. Like a Blue Marans, or a GLW/SLW... LOL.

Anyone got any ideas on how to make a silkie?

 

[BackyardFarmMom]

I would make a glob for the head and a glob for the body and take a spatula and make it look spiky
You can achieve the same thing with a piping tip
Then give it a beak and feet with a tip

You can do it!!! Get creative!!!

 

[NovaAman]

Got the tips. Also got black icing! LOL.

AND prism candles. Cake is baking.

This is a cake i gotta see, lol...

I wondered about the dust, too, but if they are living on the other side of the wall, and you use the cloth that goes on outside furniture, make slipcovers of it; you could wash that or beat it in the yard, get one of those fuzzy dusters; voila! Some cute washable curtains, too.

Well, not quite, but it would still be great to have a book nook away from everything. I am thinking if you kept it to only a few chickens, that would be a lot easier to maintain too.

I like it because even before shabby chic was "in" i always had this fantasy of a rustic cabin in the woods, with a chandalier in it! Everyone laughed then but now days i bet it would fit right in. I am picturing a beadboard sided coop stained a nice mahogony (log cabin material would be way to heavy to move again) perhaps a broken concrete walkway, stained also or painted with rustoleum or something, a set of white handmade curtains rustic style tied with a ribbon at the bottom, a home made chandelier somehow, painted pink (of course, this IS a girl-dream) with a couch or a wicker couch in there...... or have a bigger coop, and restrict the human space to a covered porch, with big rustic windows with screen and hardware cloth, that way there's a wall in between the chickens and the human space.

I have lots of rolled screen, chandelier ideas, access to broken concrete, a huge stack of vinyl countertop overlay that has a wood texture on the back that can be painted; all i need is the 2x4's and the beadboard; roofing material. I even have a couple huge windows that would be perfect for the porch! There was a stack of shingles in DH's dad's yard but idk if they are any good.

I bet with rolled screen dividing, there'd be a lot less of a dust problem...

Did you look at the website? The swmric one?

Ok... so this morning my mom had a dr apt with her family dr. She didn't know they had moved to our side of town. We get there, and nothing. No one was even at the building. I asked her, "Did they move?" "No," she says... So, we are on the way home, and a compression something or other broke on my brake line, where the 2 back breaks connect to the main. YEAH! Pedal goes all the way to the floor and sticks! Dagnabit. I get it up, get in the back of the jeep, root around, find brake fluid, fill the master, and pump the poop out of the pedal till I get pedal, head on down the road to Rays Tire. Pull in there, tell em I blew the line, they say $100 tops, ok, I can handle that, oh hey, can you fix this gas leak too? SO, Turns out to be a $20 part on the brakes, and a foot of gas line, and $75 bucks later, I am out the door. AND he turned of the warning light for me.

Getr my mom to her hair dressers apt, then get home and call the dr office. They've been on my side of town since April of this year. How did she not now this? Everyone got a letter. They moved at the same time as her neurologist moved...

OOOH cake beeped. gotta check it.
