Beans, the four month old terror. Worth every moment for those eyes and his stellar personality

We just got two little orange fellows. Just seemed like our world needed a little extra sunshine recently.

It's so easy to get the wrong end of the stick..I spent several seconds trying to understand what I was looking at in the first photo. But from the other side she was obviously my chocolate silkie hen. Would that we all took the time to look at things from the other side

Atilla, the warrior we all need today. Atilla puts his own body in danger, herding his flock mates to the barn and standing in the door. He raises boys to do the same. He offers food to babies and juveniles, and happily hops up for lap time.
Fully warrior.
Fully chicken.
Fully kind.
Fully Atilla.

I'm removing posts & reposts to make this into a happy account, full of chicken photos. I'm still avidly against the hatred, bigotry, hypocrisy and genuine evil of the present felonious administration, and fully support viral remediation and masking.

Thank you for this. I lost my sense of taste and then my sense of TIME. I hadn't heard that others had also. It's so disorienting.

A rooster wearing compression socks. Buster would like to show you how long covid will change your life. Compression since your circulation doesn't work so well anymore. Confusion since your brain doesn't work so well anymore.

Water and electrolytes. You are going to be so bloated with water just to survive. And there are no treatments approved. Zero. You are pretty much on your own. Get a good backpack for water bottles, electrolytes, and supplemental oxygen.

A picture of a rooster with a 0% battery and brain fog. Learn to live invisibly. No one wants to hear the words. Just tell them you have a heart condition and move on. Say goodbye to the gym. No more long walks on the beach. Hot weather, triggers everything. Chairs and hammocks everywhere. Learn to pace yourself. Learn what fainting feels like. Really discover the definition of complete never-ending, exhaustion and headaches.
