When posting a picture or even with entering a quote you can edit. When you click on the photo 8 white squares will appear. You hover cursor over a square the hold down left mouse key and drag. You can even edit out portions of the original post.

HOLD THE BUS- the short one that is...

Sam! What are you talking about?
I have been whining and complaining and trying and stressing to CROP my pictures...
and here you are saying there are white boxes?
WHERE? Please please help the slow-minded.
When I click on my picture (in my profile) it turns BLUE. And it does NOTHING. If I right-click, I get the option to cut/save/send, etc..generic...
Tell me, tell me tell me...how do I get white squares to crop?
Type really slow though, because I am a slow learner.

I'm having the same problem.....did it on the old but having trouble with the new. I can do everything else but actually crop it!! What's up....I'm not doing something right.

Yay! You made it back! How do you like to new BYC?

I don't think that was really ChicwannaB. Not sure who was pretending to be her, but they only said one word, so for sure not Chic! Who are you and what have you done with Chic??

As one ages their head gets filled with all sorts of information of little or questionable value that they feel they must share before they forget everything. For instance, are you aware that we have a Shakespeare devotee to thank for the English sparrows and starlings we have. His plan was to stock New York's Central Park with every bird and animal mentioned by William Shakespeare. OMG, I'm sharing worthless information. I must be getting something, I just can't remember what.

Opa, I actually read that interesting fact not too long ago, but decided not to pass it on as it seemed to be useless information.

Mom - What Opa is describing will not allow you to CROP, it will only allow you to make the picture bigger or smaller. As far as I know, unless this new format is different, you have to crop your picture in Photobucket or Picassa or some other photo storage site like that and then download the edited pic to BYC. At least that's how the old format was. If anyone figures out how to really edit pictures (cropping, red-eye elimination, etc.) please let us all know!!


Well, this Thursday (or thereabouts) will be hatch day if the eggs viable. Mama has been keeping them nice and warm. I'm wondering about candling at this point. I think I'll try it tomorrow to see if I can see anything.

RaZ, it seems like I remember you brought several "honey's" with you to chickenstock last year.

Is that the plan this year?

The first year I went, my DH agreed to drive me and he did not think he would enjoy it very much. He has gone every year since. He was surprised that he had a great time.

These little ones just hatched yesterday. They are oh so cute. One is a cuckoo marans, one is a cuckoo x blue marans, and one is lakenvelder x andalusion. I tried with my new incubator with a turner in it and couldn't hardly hatch squat. First time 1 out of 31, second time 2 out of 24. Hubby set these ones, 18 of them, in an ANCIENT incubator made by Sears & Roebuck many many years ago and already has 3 hatched and still hatching.

SWEET!

Quote: It's a great gathering of poultry people in a park having a picnic while putting faces to the names and avatars we see here on this thread everyday. There is a swap meet of sorts with folks buying, selling and trading birds. There is also a raffle with some really nice stuff.

Last year was my first time and I had no idea what to expect, but it was a great experience. You can talk chicken stuff all day long and not get those looks from anyone.
It's a huge costume party in a city park. You have to dress as your farourite chicken breed and act like a chicken all day long while people take pictures and post You Tube videos. I dressed as Foghorn Leghorn last year and had a blast.

We did not RaZ!

Yes,, of course there were no costumes and no You Tube videos. . What a silly idea!

Spoiler: Warning: Super Secret REAL Chickenstock Info!

Now, FarmerBoy, we know you might feel just a teeny bit self-conscious about having the newer people know this, but your emu costume last year was totally great and you should hold your head high and proud! Can't wait to see what you come up with this year! =D
