Little early to be sexing by the puff. My boys had the same puff as the girls at that age. I couldn't accurately sex them until 12+ weeks. Except for the early crowers.

My social battery has been drained lately, can't get a recharge. I covered 3 extra shifts this week and all I want to do is shut myself away for a few weeks. Everyone is too loud, manners are horrible, some have been so rude to me and it just makes me mad.

My last vet appointment for puppy they had the techs do it. The vet had to run home because she was dealing with parvo pups right before my appointment. They only charged me for shots.

Oh no granny that's horrible. Hope it passes by you. I'm ok, summer has been rough. Lost Kat last month, her stone came in today so got teary eyed after work. Work hasn't been great and I'm kinda burnt out of working that job, casually looking but not a lot of people hiring. Plus I want...

:frow Hi y'all! Doing a quick pop in. Been crazy here. Hope everyone is doing good!

My "baby" emu 😂 from left to right: Buckeye, Ken, Adam, and Barbie

Pictures from today 😊

They are growing. Adams leg scabbed over and healed, it has new feather growth. His legs are not any better and he seems stunted compared to his brother Ken. The girls are doing good, Buckeye is still boss and Barbie is still the clumsy bird that trips over air.

Happy Birthday Pert!

Me too. I worry about them.

Hatched 1, bought 1 for a friend. Both were females so I needed a male. Then bought 2 males 😂

Oh I about drove myself nuts. Can't candle them. And wait at least 35 days to see if it maybe moves. Then second guess yourself because maybe you are seeing things lol

It was the longest almost 8 weeks of my life. I love the little derpy raptors though.
