What the heck did I just watch? I hope your chicken made it back home safe. Personally, I'd let her have it. I'd call every single authority available - cops for trespassing and property damage (since most animals are considered property), animal control officer and town officials so she gets...

I I had a Silkie hen that has fast growing waddles. I was so convinced she was a he, but she laid an egg. That's kind of how it is with Silkies - wait for them to crow or drop an egg. I was told by a long time Silkie keeper that head poofs are a good way to determine gender. Hens have a more...

I think 2 is the only female.

He was four (maybe five) when he passed last year of cancer. Given his deformity, I did not expect him to live long. He was able to self-feed and drink. Per my vets advice, I let him self-feed and only provided supplemental feeding via syringe when he dropped below a certain weight. We...

Yup, that's a crossbeak. The condition is very common and can be caused by poor hatch position, trauma, or genetics. EEs, Silkies, Polish and a couple others end up with it. It's a deformity of the skull and there's no way to fix it - despite what you read on the internet. It does get worse...

I used Poly Aid Plus. It's widely available. I gave it to my sick chickens and they slurped it right up so it must be tasty. https://vetafarm.com.au/product/poly-aid-plus-40g/

My CB house roo had this and generally occurred during a molt. I believe it had to do with nutrition or a missing vitamin as he was an avid dust bather. I ended upping his vitamins and it seemed to lessen the amount of yellow dander he had.

I can't wait until the building co-op/survival games go out of fashion. I want to kill things, not build things. I'm also old and grew up with games like Doom.

I am so glad you and your family kept him and gave him the life he deserved. Our pets choose us. Thank you for sharing your story. I won't say anymore because I know you're trying for distractions.

Honestly, my nephew excitedly told me about it, but my eyes kind of glazed over.

I am so sorry to hear about your pup. If you want to, tell us about your dog. My dog had cancer surgery on Wednesday and I thought I was going to lose her. Talking about her helped. Have you looked into Dwarf Fortress? It's new, but I believe it's command lines.

I tried to work with mapping and mods, and I made a mess. I was worried I wasn't going to like the PS5 controller, but I really do. Worth it for me.

Dragon Age, all three games, are AMAZING! Great story, fantastic characters. It's the one series I always come back to. I just started BG3. If you're playing on PC, you need to order a controller. It's very awkward otherwise.

Ignorance and denial are my additional pet peeves of the day. The rescue I foster dogs for pulls from Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana. 8 out 10 dogs have tragic histories. Pregnant and dumped in parking lots/underpasses/fields, covered in manage, emaciated... So go ahead, convince...

Humane societies that bring in cats from out-of-state while ignoring the feral/stray cat problem in the community they serve. In the last two months, I have taken in six abandoned kittens (four 4-weeks, two 10-weeks) and a prego feral (due soon) that no humane societies will assist with because...
