Oh - OO I have used carpet powder deodorizer a couple times -just a little. So far vacuum seems to be breathing normally. I promise I won't use that stuff again. I think it is a panasonic.

The best canister one we ever had was a Kenmore. When I wasn't vacuuming, I put the hose in the reverse spot and was able to dry dogs at my grooming shop.

My parents had a Kirby for decades. It was metal, unlike today's plastic junk.

My parents still have the kirby my dad sold to his sister before my parents were married. It has to be 50 years old.

Ohh girl, best part I can turn the brush roll off!
I can have suction only and if I do need to clean the roller it is only held in with screws and a plate...no vacuum Jenga!

Make sure the brush roll stays clean and moves freely. Also check filters frequently. Those are the biggest vacuum killers. A air compressor to the filter will do it wonders. If not a stiff bristle brush or broom. Be careful banging the filters on anything, you can warp or break them. Don't use carpet powder either. That stuff should be called vacuum killer.



They can pop their hips out just a person. I read somewhere about someone holding the chicken by their bad leg and with it flailing the hip went back into place. I know that sounds awful but it may be the only way to get it back in.
Can you have her x-rayed? That would tell you for sure if it's something out of place or a break.
I'm so sorry. I hope you figure it out. When I get the chicken separation situation figured out I'll send you D'Uccle eggs.

I am thinking dislocated hip on your tiny bird.
Not sure how they hurt themselves but they do.

I agree with Nunny an X-Ray would reveal it.

*Sigh* I'm having to pet hub's head over the vac....he's so proud of himself.
Could have felt those good vibes sooner if he wasn't such a tightwad.

Kiwi has a boy comb but isn't a boy.
I looked and three little rows but she's totally female.
Has to be derp related!
Tried to take some pics but they eat nonstop.

Prince is male Rene, he's a suuuper soft ball shaped boy.
Seriously boy feels like a pantene commercial.

Your birds are freaking gorgeous Chicky!

Bitty and the kids are reluctant to enter the coop with the new nest box.

I think I will name the green layer Cassiopeia. Cassie for short. She gave me another pretty little egg today.
