NOT Final count Kiki. It's only been 30 hours since first hatch. Looks like we have another zipping. The last 4 eggs have nothing visible.

Who us? Would we do that?

We are here to help you make decisions.

Wanna set eggs together? Got another 44 setting right by the incubator for QB#7.

Nutty put some papertowels over that cardboard right now.
That's too slippery!
I'm going to have a conniption fit if you don't hurry up.

Have you candled the last four eggs yet to see if they are good?

what type of job are you looking for??

i was going to recommend checking with local veterinary clinics or pet/farm stores. Veterinary clinics almost always need reliable and caring kennel staff and occasionally the opportunity arises to be trained to assist. In a previous life I have worked both jobs!

Any steady job will work for me.

Okay thank you. That’s good to know. I’m going to get applying then.

Just maybe not tonight. Getting a bit late and I might shower and go to bed early. Not feeling too great all of a sudden, have a bit of a headache and my face is all hot, and also my mood simultaneously took a bit of a nose dive for no reason so I wanna just go to bed rather than stay up and deal with it haha

That is an excellent idea!! Thank you!! I think part of the reason I have been so hesitant, besides just procrastination (I seriously put off everything ), is because I keep thinking I’m gonna have to work some crappy retail or fast food job I hate or something haha didn’t really think maybe there were animal ones. I’ve been thinking about applying to some of our pet stores though. That might not be so bad. That or the movies. Also there is a dog daycare that opened up literally down the street from my house in March. I’ve been thinking maybe I could see if they need any help haha we sort of know the owner

Learn to type. I worked more years in retail than I care to think about before I realized that I could be doing other stuff because I type 90 wpm. I ended up in accounting, then had the chance to go back to school for my degree in computer technology. Typing 90 wpm is useful in IT too, so typing was probably the most useful class I took in high school.

These two are getting darker by the hour.
They are almost black.View attachment 1903003

i’ve been trying to figure out these guys all day and i think they are sparkly chicks! sparkly are a jumbo/pansy cross....thus the stripey look with red mixed in!!

Monday = A fresh start.

Yeah, that’s the plan haha

Although that said...

Do you think I should stick with the original plan of working on my room or the job thing? I know technically long term the job thing is probably more important but my room really needs to get done. They haven’t been here in a while so they’re going to want to see everything aha

I actually am making pretty good progress I think. I finally sorted all my clothes yesterday and washed some of them. Still have a ton more to do. Probably had at least 3 baskets

I can actually type like super fast so this might be a good option haha

I was hoping to be able to work with animals eventually though.

I don’t know.

Do I remember correctly that your quail are indoors? That is impressive you can manage a flock that size and do all that work with colors then.

Yes. They are gross. I spend about 2 hrs/day cleaning and go through ridiculous quantities of fluff. They are getting their own shed soon.
