    I never cared for Brittany Spears, but...

    Our local stores had a tiiiinnnyyy problem a few days ago. At two stores they got their shipment of chicks in. Times four!! Somehow someone screwed up and they got shipped too many chicks. Way too many. They had a sale of buy 1 get 4 free. You have no idea how many people are now swimming in...

    So my cockatiel LOVES pins and pin cushions... Alternatives?

    Which is adorable, but so, so strange to me. My older 'tiel is a rescue. He's always preferred to stay on his cage or specific areas I set him. He doesn't travel like BB. He's not as interactive either. And then he's older than BB so getting a young dude was a surprise. I always through Giles...

    So my cockatiel LOVES pins and pin cushions... Alternatives?

    ...the pins. It seems relaxing for him. He'll spend hours on it just kinda zoning out. Yeah, he can't have pins. And somehow he finds them *everywhere.* No matter how much I check the floor, he's found that one hidden pin. But he LOVES trying to get them off the pin cushion or turning them...

    Good pellet diet for cockatiels? What about a seed diet?

    Super duper late reply (mental breakdown - fine now!) But thank you! This little guy also found me. He's super duper active. And now a junk food bird. :( No interest in veggies now that he's found floor food. So frustrating. So I figure I'll at least get him on healthy seeds while he grubs...

    Chick's eye was stuck shut. One time thing or should I keep an eye on her?

    Will do. She's not showing any other signs of illness. Just very screamy/tired. Which isn't anything new.

    Chick's eye was stuck shut. One time thing or should I keep an eye on her?

    ...heat source died overnight and two had poop stuck to their booties. Should I keep an eye on her or could it be a fluke related to heat? She's *always* screaming for sleep even when she's well rested and the area is toasty. I've taken up snuggling her to shush her. I *think* she's some kind...

    Good pellet diet for cockatiels? What about a seed diet?

    ...I have extreme ADHD, OCD tendencies and I maxed out my therapist's chart for anxiety/depression. I say this because it means that whole there are *dozens* of "best cockatiel food and why" pages out there, I *cannot* grasp it and make a decision. I have to talk one on one and get suggestions...

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    I have a Janoel. I can't find any 'fancy breed' local mixes I can drive to get. I've had to resort to buying online. I did try local eggs once. I think I got... four? out of that batch. my first hatch was 3, then I THINK 3 or 4. Three other batches failed. Then this batch failed. I don't get how...

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    ...in tears. I keep forgetting my mental health issues can have real world consequences. In this case, death. I feel terrible. :( Anyway, this isn't a mental health forum, but I figured I ought to let y'all know what happened. Mom got me the eggs to distract me. I guess it didn't work. *Sigh*

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    I can't see any movement today. I'm hoping she's just sleepy/sluggish like she normally is.

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    I'm sure the answer is "Whenever she darn well feels like it because animals are finicky" but do you by chance have any idea on how much longer we're looking at? What if - heaven forbid - someone screwed up and she's not actually due until next week? Could she make it that far? (I didn't set...

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    I did one last check on her/him before bed and moistened areas I missed earlier. While (gently!) getting the edges a tear appeared. :( It's in the side without baby, or any blood vessels. You can see it in the pic with the arrow. I circled it in very tiny red so you can see clearly. Is that...

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    I might take you up on that sometime! The problem is I can't drive very far. A wheel barring is dying, my transmission is slipping, the van overheats if the AC is on at all, and my heater isn't working due to a broken thermostat. Nevermind the oil leak. We try to keep the poor thing as close to...

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    I'm part of the Homesteaders! And backyard chickens. I'm trying to hatch 'funky' chickens. I don't want generic babies. Gimmie some little weirdos! I like to buy mixes so you never know what you get. The problem is I'm in the Orem/Provo area and everyone else isn't. :( I can't find local eggs to...

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    I've managed to assist one before, which was COMPLETELY my fault. It was an easy hatch since he was ready to pop out anyway. His membrain looks kinda dry, is that normal? All wrinkly. The poor thing does seem pretty sluggish. I'm worried. I'll remove the paper towel and find my Vaseline and...

    Egg I was SURE was dead... isn't. What do I do with the giant hole in the eggshell?!

    ...on putting the egg back together I mangled it getting it apart. It's too big for nail polish to cover. What do I do to keep the baby safe? it's *possible,* but unlikely, that this egg got mixed up with some ones I put in at a different date. They were labeled differently, though fairly...

    Ideas for jury rigging an incubator with the top of a Janoel 12?

    In case anyone else needs the info, it turns out your slow cooker/crock pot will work as an incubator. I ended up with too many eggs to fit inside the Styrofoam container. So in a desperate attempt to buy me time until Amazon's one showed up I put them in my slow cooker. I took out the ceramic...

    Brilliant! I found one near me. Thank you!

    Ideas for jury rigging an incubator with the top of a Janoel 12?

    Right?! You would think they're everywhere. I'll post on my local classified sites in search of one. Maybe I can find one on Amazon?

    Ideas for jury rigging an incubator with the top of a Janoel 12?

    Would you believe I can't find one of these anywhere? I have a friend who's incubating them for a few days luckily. I've called all over and nobody has styrofoam anything. Just cooler bags.
