Yep. Tall, mysterious, and a man of few words.

Apparently Ted Cassidy was a mellow guy. He died pretty young at the age of 46 from an open heart surgery that went wrong.

He started out in advertising . I watched his life story once. Here is another tribute on him

I have this hen, she’s very healthy and so lovable. She might be a little bit overweight, but I’m not going to tell her that. Shanny is a great pet and egg layer.
Judging by her poops (she’s very healthy)

I let the big birds out just now, and now it’s time to let the littles out of the brooder box and hop around on me.

Call me lazy if you want to, but chick sitting is my favorite thing to do. I hired a kid from down the street to weed whack my yard.
(So I can have precious moments with the littles)

Apparently my BIL will mow my lawn today! I will see when I get home if that happened

So my sister and BIL are now installed in my house having sold theirs. They are both retired and will now look at trucks and RVs, and look for a new smaller house.

In the meantime my BIL has vacuumed the whole house and did some housework, and brought up some feed to the barn for me on a trolly as it’s to soft and wet to drive the truck up to the barn.

He help me but up the ‘summer door’ so the swallows can come and go at will. Handy having him around!

And he can see his chooks he ‘donated’ to me - of course he calls them different names than I do, he calls Red, Lonestar…..

If they can't find a house, send them here. He sounds likes he is very handy.

The wardrobe comment reminded me of one of my kid’s books, Mr. Watson’s Chickens. It’s amazing!

It’s this couple where one of them gets hit by Kelly-level chicken math, and the flock just keeps growing. I don’t doubt for a second that the author must have real first hand experience

Look at all those crested birds Lol and the weirdo EE with the beard on the bottom right.

I will have to look for this, reminds me of one of my favorites "But no Elephants"

But the post said they were continuing to scream and @LhickenChicken didn’t think they would stop any time soon.
When I have had chicks get cold and scream they stop the minute they get some heat. Like throwing a switch.
Continuous screaming sounds like something is wrong.

Maybe scared? Maybe not warm enough? Hard to know. I used a brooder and the minute I shove them under there they stop. They like to snuggle and be warm and under ‘mama’ in the dark where it’s warm.

Don’t have enough info…
