send me the link to the gif and I will have a go at it.

I sort or forget what I did with it now...but in the end I think I downsized it by 50% (I think) because it wasn't fitting in the box and maybe cut every 4th frame. It worked for me as a gif on here when I was done...but it wouldn't work on as an avatar.

At that point it was like...4am so I thought I'd try it once I had sleep...
The original. The link is below.

My resized version. I think.
I have 5 versions of this and 6 of the original gif...lol


A resized version for posting in posts.

Thanks for looking at this.

I just tried it again...that's what it does...goes all digital blur.

Just remember by the time they are two weeks they can FLY... not with any accuracy but straight up and OUT. So you better have a lid on that brooder.

I know I raised up forty of the little Jack booters in my moms garage. Moms garage will NEVER be the same....

Gotto put em under game fowl hens if possilbe.

Yep, definitely. They chicks will probably be moved Sunday to the enclosed kennel. They're already trying their wings across the box...lol. The keets will follow suit. Then I'll either put 'em in the coop in the other kennel.

What are Jack booters?
I'm breaking all my broodies...all 8 of them.

Thank you and congratulations on the new babies.

Doc, my sick Welsummer rooster woke us up at dawn crowing his brains out. He is still crowing! I uncovered his cage and he is acting 100% better and it looks as though the swelling on the right side of his face is slowly going down. Guess I'll keep pumping Terramycin down him. I'm so glad I saw the swelling yesterday. He was sitting on the roost with his head hanging down and his eyes closed. I didn't see what was going on with the right side of his face until I got him out of the coop and into the daylight. Thinking the worse I had taken my .22 revolver out with me and had actually dug a grave for him. I'm so glad he is responding to treatment. He is such a sweet rooster, very mild mannered and handsome.

When I called my dear husband (Doctor Dear) out to take a look at Doc's eye, he immediately said that he had a haemophilis infection of some sort and told me what antibiotics to use. I'm sure DH never thought in his wildest dreams that all the years he took care of human eyes, he would be taking care of chicken eyes in his retirement.

Regarding Marek's yes, @chickisoup I feel the same way about it. My husband asked me how Doc had picked up this infection and I told him, thank Mr. Marek.

Now that is so incredibly cool. And helpful. I think you better keep hubby around.
I'm amazed how much one can tell from the eye! I'm really happy he's responding so well.

I wouldn't ask for "More" pics, but I would ask for "different" pics. Say, someone was selling a mare that SOUNDED good, but they just had a head shot and a very unflattering 3/4 angle from the shoulder while she was grazing pic... Now, I would want a side view, preferably with her head up or level and it would be nice but not required to have shots from the front and back showing feet and legs. Just so you can see what you're getting in the way of soundness issues.

Couldn't agree more. Ive also asked for picks of the bottoms of feet as well.
I have dairy goats and while I love a pretty colored goat, what I need to see are hooves and udders.lol

Okaaay. That makes complete sense and I never thought of it that way. I was thinking the same type of pics...but very those are very good points.

I'm the same...a headshot isn't enough. I want to see conformation, the feet, the udder/testicles if its a "breeding" animal. I want to see the animal/birds are healthy and the environment they're in caught in the background. If it's hatching eggs, like the Ameraucanas I hatched...I would like to see the eggs. To me that stuff's automatic because it's the things I look for...but that's true...some may not look for the same things and not provide that. I have 5200+ photos on my phone alone. About 99.2% is of the chickens. I pretty much have any photo on the ready if someone asks....
Thank you both for pointing that out.

It's raining here and it's a lovely cool day. We've got 6/10s so far.
It's finally stopped...so I can do chores now. I have some very wet roosters. Silly things won't go under cover.

Waiting patiently to see Ron's pics.

I can get pictures of progress...Sadly they measured the window sill incorrectly and have to come back to put that piece on. We will not be able to put the sink together until then.

I also ran into trouble changing the gas supply hose to the oven. I need to replace the valve since it started leaking. For now, there is no gas on at the house so not water heater.

I'm slowly losing faith in the human race. I understand mistakes can be made but c'mon...how can so many mistakes be made all the time. Anyone who gets work done have such setbacks due to mistakes. It happens to us all the time.
If I was the boss, ok I am a boss...but of a company, I'd seriously have to maim someone.
Of course there are times the boss should be maimed as well for failing to ensure employees are trained properly.
Yes, I am being grumpy and judgmental.

As far as the gas...the nice thing with renos is everything that's faulty/worn (or almost) gets replaced and it's good as gold again. Or at least you hope.

Hoping everything goes better from here, Ron.
