I know what the rooster said.

"Leave those other cocks alone and no. Not any cock will do."

Never tried a laser with birds, my dog liked it a lot, cat wasn’t impressed after a couple minutes. I would think birds would be scared of a laser, anything unexplained with them is generally something to be scared of.
Chickens seem to like weed a lot, I give them leaves whenever I have extra. Gave them what i believe to be Birdies cheese leaves yesterday along with others.

" Red Laser " Are them Things what you Base your Name from?

I Just shine Green Light on the Cage Floor while there on the Top Perches, Never at them !
You See their Heads Following the Green Dot

Not exactly, it was an attempt to create a name/word that had the same letters at the outer part of the word, same letters at the second spot, third etc. only got as far as the second. Wanted to include a color, but beyond that no actual meaning

A picture of the 2 Silkies.

This first one lost most of its tail 2 weeks ago. But she is rambunctious as Hell and keeps on trucking. (Knock on Wood) she will make it. There is a slash across her lower back that is hard to photograph, but it makes me grimace when I see it.



And a normal Silkie, eating cat food -

Magic marker on chicken egg - can the ink chemicals damage the bird embryo ?

I just traded the contents of 2 nests.

The young bird who lays fertile eggs, but isn't sitting on her eggs.

Vs. her mother, who has stopped laying, and hasn't mated with a rooster for about 3 months. But is sitting on her nest about 22 hours a day.

Hopefully the old bird will hatch them & think they're hers, and teach them to fly so they can join the other birds.

Anyway, I marked all the eggs with a Sharpie.
