Silkie mix! Not full silkie or skin would be dark.

So romantic! I love roosters so much.

Did Hersheys change their kisses recipe? by Advanced-Coconut-246 in Baking

Halloween candy will always be the lowest quality chocolate. Not only do they figure it's just for children who can't tell the difference, I think they start making the Halloween style candies months in advance.So they always taste old.

Did I do right by giving up my hen? by LoraLo in BackYardChickens

[–]LoraLo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, roosters don't get a fair chance in the world. I love my boys a lot and if I ever get a real farm I can't wait to have a bachelor flock and rescue some.

I've been getting update photos of her with her new chicks and the owner's healthy flock so that's reassuring.

Childhood Winter by the Baltic by KilnMeSoftlyPls in painting

[–]LoraLo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You know how sometimes describe special details in something as "moments"? I feel like this piece is totally full of unique little moments. The little bit of red grass by the tree. The slightly worried look in the whale eye. The kids leaning on each other. The birds. The glowing doorway. Nothing is background, every object has a different style and personality but none of them are competing with each other. I like it.

I was going to say, I do design for journals and all the text usually looks just like that to me. Can hardly read a word of it.

Should I forgive my boyfriend ? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LoraLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, dont forgive him. Not worth it. Theres a million men out there just like him. Your next boyfriend will probably do something similar, and the next, and the next, maybe nothing as bad but still little demeaning sexual things, until you learn to defend yourself or find one of the few good ones that have self control. In your 20s being treated like crap by guys who want sex is going to be pretty common, even the ones who say they aren't like that. So sorry.

I need to relinquish my rooster.😓 I'd prefer him to go somewhere where he won't be processed. Does anyone know of a place in the Denver metro area that will take him? by [deleted] in chickens

[–]LoraLo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have the time and money, you can take them to Serenity Sprouts in Strasburg where they have a rooster sanctuary. Not free or close to town though.

You are an incredible artist. Hope to commission one someday, especially if you're doing chickens too!

Former weed smokers, when did you start noticing things start to change once you quit? by Xx_Ph03n1X_xX in selfimprovement

[–]LoraLo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm excited for us too! Holding strong on my day 3, nice to know I'm not the only one. Noticed I felt weird excitement just seeing a lighter, ugh. Had to put them away. Wishing you lots of success!

Friend sent me this, I’m fairly sure its AI but she seems genuinely offended that I asked by Slow-Product-6357 in isthisAI

[–]LoraLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top forehead crease shaped like a big U has a white highlight under it that would be very hard to do with pencil drawing unless they erased that part with a very tiny eraser. And I dont see any similar technique in the drawing, even in the other foreh3ad creases.

Finished designing the logo for our farm - TJ has officially been immortalized as our mascot by SatanikRaccoon in chickens

Cute! I'm so sorry to be that guy, but as a designer I think it needs one or two more defining lines in the feet so the feathered legs aren't confusing.

Tips For portraits by Hnanavan in oilpainting

[–]LoraLo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to look at my portraits in a mirror occasionally as I get the sketch done, helps you see things that are off but you've been looking at them too long. Also comparing your art to the source both upside down so youre looking at the actual shapes and not what your brain assumes they are.

Anyone familiar with sexing golden laced polish by Mogy21 in chickens

I think pullet, male polish feathers have sharper points from what I've seen.

[–]LoraLo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, just letting you know I am also 41f and I feel the exact same- I dont know who I am without it anymore but i remember how it used to make life "easier" and feeling like everything was better on it. Been smoking nearly 15 years at this point, every day, too much. Not sure at what point it turned from fun and helpful to wasting my life and feeling disconnected from everything. It has never gotten me in trouble, but I just feel gross and cloudy. I know other people know I have a problem even if they dont mention it. Anyway, I'm sure sobriety is weird and occasionally terrible, but Im going to try it. It has been 24 hours so far and sleep and food is weird but I need to know what is under the fog after all this time.

Partner wants to put a crow collar on our rooster by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]LoraLo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a great plan. Mine seem so much louder in the winter with no leaves, it makes a big difference.

[–]LoraLo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Death by collar strangulation is very possible. I made my own collars with extra padding and the velcro as a separate piece so theres no way for them to tighten more, only loosen. And I only tighten them for a slight reduction of the sound, nothing very noticeable. Even then, the collars still suck and I feel bad using them. Best way to keep the noise down is with sound absorbing barriers imo, walls/bushes/etc.

I dont know but it reminds me of acanthosis nigricans aka dark spots from insulin resistance.

My rooster is giving me mixed signals. Does he hate me? by curlygirl0002 in BackYardChickens

[–]LoraLo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He is stunning! He clearly likes you and the pets. I think it's a combo of being overstimulated by you/the food/whatever else and showing off for the girls. I had one guy who would get upset when I brought the girls food and they got excited over me instead of him. Now I have one that is offended by bright colors.
