I’m binge watching interior design shows, and while some of the designs are truly Awful, I’mjust vibrating with the need to pick up a paint brush and paint the walls an elegant grey blue then go absolutely hog wild with garish fabrics and obnoxious metallic fixtures and showcase all the kitsch goth shit all y’all keep sending to my po box. Just wreck the resale value of the hell house and go bananas.
It’d be great.
Realtor attempting to sell our house in the future: as you can see the house retains a lot of it’s original features, original hardwood floors, this charming alcove and the abundance of natural light really highlights the … the giant skeleton fresco …
Realtor taking a swig from a hip flask and forcing a trembling smile onto their face: shall we take a look at the finished crypt?
Prospective buyer: you mean basement?
Realtor, thinking: … no…no I do not.
@thebibliosphere we talking painted skeletons in a macabre yet delightful pastiche of the Sistene Chapel, or like, full on bone chandeliers a la Sedlec Ossuary?
Both. Both is good.
Also from the comments it looks like people would love to actually see this unfold, so if I ever get ETD on board (and lets face it, the time and money cause we need to do some substantial repairs before I can go full chaotic sparkle goth) we’ll totally record what we’re doing.
Did you know chickens often have claws on their wings? They really are little dinosaurs 😁
The part I’ve highlighted in red pokes out of their thumb as a nail. It can be found on their wrist where their wing bends, not right on the end of their hand. Here are some pictures that @poule-malchanceuse helped me get:
Jack, sumatra cock. Sumatras are a more “primitive” breed of chickens that have been breed from wild jungle fowl more recently. Jack’s nail is the biggest one so far.
Millet, Old English game cockerel. Small but there, easy to mistake for a pin feather coming in.
We’ve observed that pullets and hens have a smaller nail than cockerels and cocks. I think it may also be breed dependent. If my fellow chicken keepers could reblog this with a picture (or your observations if you can’t get one) with the breed and sex of your chicken that would be great to help us learn more about this cool, little known feature of chooks.
