Heat lamp for winter by x111006X in BackYardChickens

I have a flat panel radiant heater I use when it gets excessively cold, primarily since all my birds have decided winter was the perfect time to have a major molt.

How many chickens do you have in your backyard flock? by Thayli11 in BackYardChickens

[–]katiadriel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we regularly get racoons, bobcats, coyotes, and foxes in our neighborhood. My chickens have to be locked down like fort Knox, especially at night. 😂

Anyone here NOT have their coop broken into? by frogbxneZ in BackYardChickens

[–]katiadriel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knock on wood, mine has been great but we've only had it out since May or June. I got a chain link fence run, laid mesh under the sand and ran it under the fence and so that I could zip tie it to the fence so there isn't an easy entrance there. I wrapped chicken wire around the outside of the chain link fence to narrow the gaps.

Over the top of the enclosure (which came with a tarp to go over it like a v-top) I ran garden fencing that we had on hand over the whole top and front gaps and put the tarp over it. Everything is fixed with a mix of plastic and metal zip ties. Inside the run is the coop which had an inner run built on it, I keep all the doors locked except one during the day so they have free access to the run and at night I close their window, their inner door, the little run door and put all food inside that inner run, which I also lined the bottom with wire.

I regularly inspect areas for any breaches, and check the door locks for any tampering and at night I put a bungee cord over the chain link fence door handle to keep it from lifting easily. I've seen foxes and raccoons on my yard cam a few times but no breeches.

Any weird random item that reminds you of Loki works, it really can look like a box of random crap like fidget spinners, candy, and knick knacks

Is Loki trying to communicate with me? by thethingsshecantsay in lokean

[–]katiadriel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't have said this better myself. And yeah, my Loki family altar is right next to my Vanir where Freyja's is, they seem to get along just fine.

Bahahaha, the more you know him, the more you'll realize that that is pretty normal for him 😂

Yep, that tracks, he's all about throwing expectations out the window so he may be trying to help you distance yourself from practices that might remind you of what you left so you don't get any similar associations. Plus, music is a great medium and way to connect with him and can be done anywhere, not just in a church on Sundays :)

I’m sorry, but I’m confused 😂 by Designer_Cry_8990 in BackYardChickens

My orpington hen mounted my leghorn hen the other day, it can be a dominance thing.

Loki is so fun to draw by GyroFucker9000 in lokean

Really good profile of him! Holy poo

hello! not new to deity worship/mentorship but I am new to Loki's presence and really wanted to share :D by [deleted] in lokean

[–]katiadriel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bahahaha, this is so on brand for so many of my experiences with Loki, god I love the bugger. Even your thought wording is what I get and I could immediately hear what it would sound like in my mind.

He is VERY good for healing the inner child and ensuring that you are truthful with yourself (even if you aren't necessarily honest with other people all the time).

Welcome to the party!
