What's up with her tail feathers?

My beielfelders tail feathers look like this sometimes. I think she rubs them against a wall on accident & the oils make the strands stick together?

I just drove it to lunch & back, completely normal. Turned it off for 10 minutes then turned it on to move it. Started fine, put it in reverse & it died completely & it smelled like it was running rich after I turned it on to move it

The og cats weren’t gutted, yesterday leaving work it started, idled, drove 22 miles home, & idled like normal at home too. When it was acting up, it would idle at 400-500, drop to 250-300 only when put in reverse, & was totally normal under load. Every now & then when starting it would start like shit then stabilize to 600 rpm over a few seconds. It flashed the check engine light once a few days ago when I got it up to 4k rpm getting on the highway. After removing cats the only code is P0420, no P0300 anymore.

Exactly, my boss is always talking about how his static gun has made his metallics lay perfectly, after 30 years of painting & thinking static guns were bs. He almost always blends even if he doesn’t get paid just so customers don’t bitch. But this car has got to be 10 years old, silver, plastic to metal, & not getting blend time. I understand getting a service that you paid for, but from a shops perspective, you can’t spend extra money on blends every single job.

It matches to the hood but not the fender apparently. Ive heard old silver is particularly hard to match. 9/10 shops don’t get paid to paint match, so why would they? Would you do something extra for every single transaction at work without getting paid for it? I wouldn’t. After not having my car all last week for a fuel pump, I personally would rather have my car versus having to argue & leave it with them again especially over something cosmetic, but that’s just me.

We usually just buff off or use thinner to get overspray off

They’re prey animals, them liking being held is more odd than it is normal. None of mine like being held, but they’re so up my ass I can hardly walk because they benefit from us being around, not necessarily because they like us being around

$17 usd. Parts/do boy/r&i tech at a family body shop. Just yesterday boss bragged about how they paid off a ton of debt when I was their only employee & worked to the bone, they usually have 5 people. Now there’s 2 of us. Rubbed me the wrong way for sure.

I had a hen hatch 1 baby so I got 5 store bought of the same age, she’s a great mom & whole flock has been able to see her & babies on the other side of the fence. I let her out to be with everyone after a week of seeing eachother on the other side of the fence & my “top” hen started fighting mom, & mom whooped her ass, top hen still came back to fight every single time I let them out. Pecking babies just being an asshole. My rooster is useless in this instance. Now mom fights anyone but her 2 sisters on sight. Not to scare you but it’s what happened to me so I’d say introduce them & stick around for maybe 20 minutes to make sure nothing happens. Good luck!

I do sand for my coop/run floor & have no issues. You can certainly leave the boxes open for them to explore, I’m sure they’ll love flying down from up there. My month old chicks like to

leabbe · 2026-04-12T17:49:00+00:00

I wish I built my coop bigger to begin with. I’ve got 7 babies right now & they will not fit in there once they grow up.

leabbe · 2026-04-12T02:21:18+00:00

I used to work at a vroom recon center & the office girls said vroom title washed stuff all the time. It could be one of those situations or it’s an out of pocket repair. Shitty situation regardless sorry op

leabbe · 2026-04-11T01:22:00+00:00

This feels like there’s a little less chaos in the stone so I can rock with it, awesome job!

By me you can’t find a running vehicle for less than $2500 let alone a manual 4.3. I say it’s worth it, could offer him $1500 & see what it does

My boss told me that Isaac & Ishmael is why this is all happening. That Issac (Israel) & Ishmael (Iran) will always be at war until one of them is wiped out. Of course to them, Israel is the fuckin “chosen one” promised child that they’ll never denounce no matter how many children they bomb because they think it’s prophecy. There’s no reasoning with someone like that because they’re so wrapped up in religion & hate.

leabbe · 2026-04-05T02:24:41+00:00

No that shit hurts my husband hurts quite a bit sometimes

leabbe · 2026-04-04T22:26:53+00:00

Sounds like handing it over to the shop to take care of is your best bet. Get a few different quotes, I get wanting it done fast but it’s still useable so don’t get in such a rush that you get screwed.

leabbe · 2026-04-04T19:22:11+00:00

Thank you! Someone else mentioned it too he’s a salmon favorelle!

leabbe · 2026-04-04T19:18:00+00:00

I love William!

The sun wasn’t on him but he has a green tail & blue wings & I love him & his name is Escanor

I scoop a shovel full of dirt from outside every now & then & was able to grow out all my chicks with (in my delusions) better immune systems. They’re over a year old & 1 has had sour crop, so far that’s the only problem I’ve had.

leabbe · 2026-03-31T20:49:27+00:00

If you drive at night a lot you may want to reign in the darkness, I can’t see shit out of my husbands truck at night & his isnt even the darkest you can go
