Ok you have me crying again LOL


We truly are the lucky ones. The kids may never quite understand how their lives have changed.

here is a little of the story



The diary thread starts when Lorenzo was a little over one.

Amazing story! How wonderful of you to give these children a home full of love.

Scratch that, it's back on.

They are best friends.






Serously watching a movie as Lorenzo gets his resp. treatment




I call this the "FEMA" play house - it will be finished next time I get there LOL

We did not hatch them ourselves but they are ours to the core

Sweet! Congratulations!

I've never owned bantams before this group, but these guys were so darn cute I had to bring eggs home. But I don't really have room for them and I think I need to sell them all. Here is what the adult flock looked like. Bantams really think they are somethin' else huh? Adorable. But I don't have room for them.

.

I only have one bantam and he's a handful. Insists on fighting with the big guy even though he's far outmatched. DH is going to build him his own coop and run if I can't rehome him. Maybe I'll get him a few little girls of his own.

my dang husband is playing video games and it uses so much internet it knocks my webcam offline

Edited to say I should probably switch where i put the "dang'' how about "my wonderful husband is playing dang vidoegames" lol

it still works occasionally but i think when he reloads a new map is knocks me off again

How neat on the geese!

Welcome!

It won't resolve itself on it's own, you need to brace the legs together. It if very fixable, if done right away.

Haha, understandable.

I'm a bit of a gamer myself, as well as my DH. Thankfully I've been very lucky that when I need to film (I use his phone) he's not needing it & not in the same room when they zip.

It looks like I'm seeing two different hatches. Or just different angles? Btw, when you do have the sound on I can hear finches. <3 Zebras (though I've a pair of Socieities/Bengalese, atm).

Seems like a little bra-time somehow did the trick.

Got the legs re-trained a little. I'm going to continue this variety of chick physical therapy a bit.

I believe that's called the "wisher" method.

Are bantam girls any quieter than standard? Both of those roosters are very pretty! I'm going to need the ultra low profile hens. I have my few new pullets in a neighborhood that doesn't really approve, but it looks like I'm about to move into a neighborhood that *really* doesn't approve! My husband asked how many chickens I was going to try to get away with.. As many as I can! of course lol. But the quieter the better.
