Aw poor thing, How do you get melted dog out of white carpet??

Mornin', y'all!

Morning everyone

I didn't think I had any pictures but I found one that shows all 3 of them, right up front. It's not a great picture but it'll work. I actually sold off most of them last year and only kept the pretty calico Cockerel, the little frizzled girl that my daughter picked, and the friendliest one that I handled a lot.

Sammy! High of 32° and currently feels like 17°. I'm done with winter already.

Thank you


It's a wonderful 27° here today and feels like 14°. I want to go to a tropical island and lounge on a beach in the burning sun. Instead, I'm huddled up in the house under a blanket and a dog trying to start warm :/

when I started raising chickens for food I figured I should make room in the deep freezer.
Some of the interesting things i found:
A stillborn hedge hog from the 1980's
several small birds that had hit the window and I was going to try and ID... before the internet
a fawn hide and front hooves from the 1980's and 90's
An eel I had caught back in 1970's

Mom always said to keep the freezer full so it used less electricity I use frozen gallon jugs now

What a nice variety. I hope they were wrapped well. I had an acquaintance who had a ferret that died and she loved it so much that she put it's corpse into her freezer. Then took it with her each time she moved. I'm not sure why she didn't just have it cremated. Did you intentionally keep all that stuff, or did you just forget about it.. mostly asking about the eel.

When I moved the ex and I divided up the freezer contents. Stuff I eat and he doesn’t and vice versa. I hadn’t been restocking the freezer because I knew I was leaving.
Turns out most of it was chicken food! Fruit and bread I didn’t want to over do them with so I froze.

I've also got the I'll put it in the freezer for the chickens stash.. Glad I'm not the only one. Then it sits there forever and I forget about it and it gets all ice crystally.

This is probably why I don't have a poop board, i'd be de-pooping Tucks every morning she's lower than the littles.I definitly understand why Hobo wasn't part of the group for a long time. I kind of feel dumb thinking the other ones were being the buttholes.

They're really good at playing the victim. It's like in school where one kid is being picked on constantly and no one sees it, but then the teacher sees when that kid finally smacks the jerks back & gets in trouble. Chickens are very manipulative.

Lol! May I present putting Hobo to bed a story with pictures.

View attachment 1602038 I'm not to be disturbed. I need my beauty sleep!

Awww she's a sad molter too. Poor thing. I growl when I go to bed too, sometimes.

Eel is pretty tasty. They are tough to kill cause they wiggle so much.

I'll take your word for it.

OMG!! I haven't heard the expression "Italian beef" since I left Michigan....

I can't tell if you're b/c of innuendo, or b/c it's describing someone.

I just found my little frizzled Serama hen trying to commit suicide. I noticed that I didn't see her around this morning for breakfast and this evening I didn't see her anywhere again. So I went looking around for her and found her in the coop shed, which only has 3 walls, trying to go broody on 3 LF eggs that were beside her frozen solid It's A whole 27° outside and real feel says that it feels like 14°. This the first year that I'm letting the Seramas in coop for the winter but I didn't expect one go hiding outside in this cold . With all the wind and cold and snow, I tend keep the coop and run closed to keep the flock warmer (plastic all around the run). That brat must've snuck out yesterday and if I hadn't gone looking for her, she could've ended up freezing to death or starving! She's unhappily in with everyone now and looking like

Poor thing. She just wants to be a mama. It's as convenient as them molting when it's 4 degrees outside. Dude, this is WHY you have feathers, why are you getting rid of them NOW? SMH.

She is still shocked at what came out of her!

It will get better but sometimes not a much as you would hope!

I get that. I was kinda like Whoa when a person came out of me. I assume the first couple times a chicken would be like I just thought it was a big poop.

I have Seramas also and I was so worried about them today. I have the run all wrapped in plastic and it has a roof. I have a sweeter heater in the coop too. They seem perfectly fine. They are tough little taters.

I was thinking.......people say small chickens have a harder time keeping warm but what about sparrows and chickadees and such? They do fine in the cold and they are much smaller than my Seramas

William is a bantam and I had to move him the other night to clean the poop from under him (he sleeps on the plastic trash can I use for a feed bin) and the spot where he was sitting was toasty warm. I can't vouch for the rest of his body, but his feet were nice and warm. The naked ones are the ones I worry about.

Nope, I get my BYC/YouTube time, he gets his shoot'em up games. He is sitting at the desk next to mine playing one of them as we speak. The only caveat is that I've asked him to not play games that can't be interrupted since I have to work and the Milk Drinker can be fractious at times.

It REALLY sucked when he used to play GTA all the time, especially when he way playing missions live online. Not only was the game making him a pissed off, angry person, but he was constantly unavailable.

It's nice that he's understanding about being interrupted. My ex would pitch a fit if I dared to interrupt his game, and that was before live gaming even existed. He also had anger issues and was about as selfish as a person could be. It's not like the games couldn't be paused. This isn't 1984 playing on an atari.

My hubby doesn't mind. He gets his car shows and I get my BYC.






Funny for the day....

Early this morning I cleaned the big coop. My roosts are removable. I had them all stacked up.
It would appear I failed to reset the roosts.
I went to close the coop and found 18 birds on the stack of roosts. Talk about wall to wall chickens! The roosts are only 8' long!
Yeah, I got them all fixed up.

I came in from that to find my hubby had let the dogs in.
Sable had grabbed a cabbage burger/runza off the stove and macked down hiding in front of the fridge!

For those who don't know a cabbage burger is cabbage, onion and hamburger baked inside fresh yummy bread.

Yes a car show was on tv at the time.

Oh.. no... I hope that doesn't mean... cabbage farts!

I didn't think I had any pictures but I found one that shows all 3 of them, right up front. It's not a great picture but it'll work. I actually sold off most of them last year and only kept the pretty calico Cockerel, the little frizzled girl that my daughter picked, and the friendliest one that I handled a lot.

She seems just fine this morning.
She sure ate a big meal with that cabbage burger.

I LOL'd at "spot remover"
Good one!

This the first year that I'll have a frizzle that I'm attempting to leave then out in the coop without heat so we'll see. She's the dummy that tried to go broody outside in this cold!
