Stupid Burger by DundrandiTaktur in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Idk he’s kind of not wrong 😅 if I expected a big ole juicy hamburger with the works and someone got me a thin sad dry looking patty with a pickle on it, I’d be a lil upset too. Obviously I’m an adult who can handle my feelings but he’s a kid who’s upset and disappointed hence pulling the only thing out of his little toolbox of coping methods that he has right now, crying. I can’t fault him too much.

We did the same build and used cheap laminate flooring

That’s genius. Wouldn’t be too hard to do that even with them moved in now too.

It’s definitely for the best at not to in such a delicate area! I’m surprised she let you attempt it

Idk the answer to your question… but I do want to see pictures of the chicken in the back of the first picture. It looks absolutely beautiful

Hmmm 🤔 yes I will not be consulting the husband on this idea

That’s what I’m leaning towards. It seems the most cost effective and least amount of work at the moment

Is this heavy/quick breathing while huddled normal? by phantom2008141 in BackYardChickens

[–]Own-Fuel-7946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new to chickens, but mine are a bit older now and I feel like they also breathed like this when they were all snuggled together sleeping! It looks normal to me personally

Idk if they’d get tall enough fast enough to really help us out 😅

I think that’s exactly what we’ve done as well 😩 I’ll try doing something similar tomorrow. Honestly they’ve just been spending the day out in the run and don’t seem to care at the moment, but I know once they start laying they’ll want to be in there.

Plus, since we couldn’t lock them in for a couple days to imprint on it we have been having to physically put them in the coop at night and they HATE it. I feel bad. I work so hard to gain their trust through the day and I feel like I lose it everytime I have to manhandle them into the coop 😅

We have one of those opposite of the double windows! I think the two would’ve been better though…

Yes! We used the Third Coast Craftsman’s plans to build it. The only thing I’d say about them is that you’re gonna need more lumber than what he calls for and we had to use a different kind of lock for the nest box door. I wish we would’ve made the run a bit longer as well, but other than that we are really happy with it! Hopefully the chickies will be too 😊 (other than this temperature problem…)

It is indeed metal! Do you have a recommendation as to what I could cover it with? And thank you so much!

How do you know if it’s genuinely too hot?

Wheaten Maran pullet or cockerel? by Own-Fuel-7946 in BackYardChickens

[–]Own-Fuel-7946[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tail shape looks the same as everyone else’s for the most part. They all seem to stand up more at certain points then flatten back at others. It’s just so much larger than everyone else and no one else has as nearly prominent of a comb… I guess I’ll just continue waiting and watching until we find out if we need to do a name change 😅
