    Pipd's Peeps!

    Well, it's been a week. Day one of class went smoothly. I got home, changed out of my scrubs, took a moment to relax, and then went out to let the chickens free-range and... Well, this happened. No idea how long it was stuck there, but that is a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk hanging from the...

    Glad to hear on ZuZu!! :yesss: My broody jail is finally empty this morning, knock on wood, but Opal, Ganymede, and a couple unnamed Cochins were in there last week. :rolleyes: Opal's already had her brood this year, no idea what she's thinking! I got her on a whim, but Chicha's definitely...

    Yeah, I love when cats sleep like that. It looks so uncomfortable being all crunched up and contorted, yet they seem awfully pleased with themselves for it anyway 🤭 :love

    I love seeing everyone's kitties :love Nothing more precious than a pampered cat. Speaking of pampered cats, here's a few of our Casper from the past couple weeks 🥰 Taking his naps seriously, as always 😊 Having a sit-down 🤭 He had his annual vet appointment just after my last post...

    Pipd's Peeps!

    Not much going on with the chickens these days. I've been laser focused on getting ready for classes to start tomorrow. Am I nervous? ...Maybe just a little. I do think we're going to lose Bucky. He's been having on-again off-again crop issues for the last week and a half, seemingly luck of the...

    Ugh, broodies!! :barnie I just had to throw FOUR hens into broody jail this morning, including your Ivy's look-alike, Ganymede, and miss Opal who has already reared a brood, fought practically everyone in the flock because she didn't want them even looking crossways at her babies to the point...

    Unless he's in a particularly ornery mood, Casper has never minded having his belly ruffled 🥰 Cat? What cat? She's clearly perfectly camouflaged here! 🤣

    Pipd's Peeps!

    Checking in again for the weekend! We did end up losing Ivy. Her fly strike was healing well, but she hadn't gotten over whatever had caused her egging issues, apparently, and one morning I found her nestled in the corner of her box like she had just fallen asleep. :( I also came across the...

    Weird lighting, but look at this complete goober! :love Scratching on his post is soooo exhausting, you know.

    Pipd's Peeps!

    We had a second bird with fly strike today. 😩 Ivy had an egging issue a couple days ago and had a messy bottom from that. Today, I noticed flies hanging around her, so I checked her, and sure enough she had it. I caught it very early because I've been keeping a close eye on everyone since...

    Pipd's Peeps!

    That may be the truth! It sounds like they want to do everything in their power to help us get through the program and graduate with our class, though, so I am somewhat comforted in that knowledge. Like, as long as we're taking it seriously and trying, they aren't just going to kick us out...

    It's been... a week. :th Thursday was orientation for the dental hygiene program. Let me just say to start that I never once thought it would be easy to get this degree, not for one moment. But orientation really threw some things at us that have me feeling a bit uneasy. Primarily, the grading...

    Pipd's Peeps!

    I've been so paranoid about that ever since. With some hens still going broody off and on, almost every night I have a little panic because someone isn't up to roost, only to find her grumping in the nests :tongue Yeah. I guess my reluctance is seeing my niece and nephew, with their young and...

    Topic of the Week - Chicken Myths, True or False?

    I actually recall reading a study where red light actually was worse than white light for healthy eye development. Actually, I think it's one of the ones I cited in my article. I would wager that the strategy of using a red light at night and white during the day would have no advantages over...

    I don't know how it is, but it feels like this summer is both flying by and dragging its feet. Most days I feel like I've only been awake for a few hours and it's time for bed already. Yet I look back and it feels like classes ended forever ago! Now that we're approaching the one-month mark...

    Pipd's Peeps!

    Not a single one! :th I did give some thought to getting maybe 10 or so NN babies (they'd be straight run, so hopefully with that number I'd end up with at least a few pullets) and filling the rest of the order with other breeds I could just sell off to recover a bit of the overall cost...
