- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

My chicken after she's been dust bathing, or when it rains.
The dust bathing brings in an earthy note to her natural birdy scent. She just smells like a little nature spirit might, if such things were real.
When it rains, she's usually under cover (though sometimes she gets out into it), but she's picks to the petrichor aroma of rain and soil. She'll carry that scent all evening usually, so when she comes inside and is nestled up next to me, there's the normal bird smell, but also that rich aroma that a gentle rain brings, that usually fades quickly.
Mind you, I also love her normal smell, that almost dusty book, nose tickling smell of bird, colored with the mild earthiness and slight tang that's all chicken.
Luckily, she doesn't mind being sniffed occasionally :)
Bird sniffers unite!
She really is :)
