I just got serama chicks so no real opinion on those other then they are adorable. I've always heard good things.

I've had D'Uccles and loved them. The little rooster was the sweetest. My girls where a bit flighty but calm once you had them. They reminded me of pet pigeons. LOL They were pretty good flyers.

Silkies I currently have. They are funny little birds. Sensitive to nutritional issues even once older. And not the smartest. Broody as all get out. I have 2 girls not even a year old who have already caught the broody bug. Calm and sweet though. Generally just as happy to be with you as other chickens.


Tell me about this chainsaw! I'm very intrigued. I can't stand the smell of oil mix fuel. Makes me sick. I have a battery weed eater that does pretty good. (I'm sure it would do better if some of my weeds weren't like small trees)
I borrowed an electric chainsaw but never used it. It was leaky and seemed more complicated to use. "Really pay attention to:::list things here:::"
I also would need a 200 foot plus extension cord. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I love the electric chain saw! Less noise and smell than the gas ones.

Testing my adjustable window concept!
I couldn't find a hook long enough. I knew I wanted about 12". And as the length of the hook gets longer the thickness goes up. The hook I wouldn't care but I was worried the eye would be such a heavy gauge it would split the window wood. So I made my own hook. Out of a bar b q skewer! 🤣 If this window holds up I'll probably do the rest next weekend.

This is Whoopsie Daisy. Not sure what to try. I've syringe fed her a few times. Always with nutri-drench. But you can see she is curled to the one side. Even her neck leans that way. Eats good. She did poop. I've been massaging her belly trying to get a good poop out of her so her belly goes down. I can't imagine its good for her to always be on her back. But I feed her and flip her over and she scoots around on her belly then flips herself over. I'm going to try some cup time but she's out of alignment somehow.

Ok plant aficionados what is this!?!

The stem is thin and tough. The flower has that weird almost fake feeling to it. Has a bit of an onion or garlic smell to it. But doesn't look like any onion or garlic plant I have ever seen. The little seeds in my hand are like tiny bulbs.

Maybe Daisy has a deformity? I think if anything will help it will be vitamins. Are her feet ok?

Nice problem solving on the window!

It may be garlic chives.....

Poor Whoopsie. Remember I have Crookie? She is a twisted mess. I wonder if Whoopsie is the same way....perhaps worse....

He toes of the crooked side are curled in. She can move them so I'm not sure if it's more of a comfort to hold them closed or she "has" to hold them that way.
She looks like someone wound her too tight from one side. That's actually the position she was in in the egg. Curled to that side. So at first I thought maybe she was a little stiff. She's a pretty hefty chick to have come out of an egg.
I actually thought of Crookie. And I looked at her beak to see if it was slightly off. Thats usually the most noticeable thing out of whack. But her beak looks fine. Its just everthing else goes sideways.

That is the weird thing about Crookie. Her beak was straight for a very long time.
Her pics are in my gallery in my profile....I never learned how to link those.... 🤔

In those pics she was about 10-12 weeks old.

When she went all bikini style last summer it became super clear her whole body was out of whack.

Oh so embarrassing those chickens made it look like I never feed them in front of the neighbors ya'll.
He handed the melon over the fence and as soon as it hit my hands derps started popping up like dogs.
I realise this may have been kind of my fault because I make them hop for stuff but they trailed me to the backdoor in a freakin pack hopping the whole way.
Slightly embarrassing :caf .
