Pictures? Will that keep away the closet monsters? I think you are trying to trick me.


Tell them you are consulting with me consulting with you about an urgent and highly personal matter that you don't want to discuss in public. Especially sober. Then storm off to the bathroom and bang on the walls for 5 minutes.

They will leave you alone for a good week.

Please do this and then come back and tell us all about it!!!! In the name of research.

Here's the one that hatched. I'm gonna guess it's female.

Oooh. Ouch.
I just realized how many chicks I lost this summer.
12. I lost 12.
Patience
Tanzi
Pemba
Kendwa
Zanzi
EE #1
EE #2
5 D'Uccles.

And then adults that I lost...
2 Buff Orpingtons
1 ISA Brown
1 D'Uccle Cock
1 D'Uccle Pullet
2 Bantam Cochins.

Damn Summer of 2018 sucked!

It depends on the context too. To catch the Kiki, means start a hatching addiction, but to Kiki something is to clean it throughly.

Another verb option is to give the Kiki treatment to your babies.... ie handle them every 30 minutes.

Okay, so I just posted in this thread:

How does one say in a nice way that the drinking water is way too dirty?

Maybe just politely suggest changing water daily.

I'm the same way.
I could not live like a minimalist.
I live in organized clutter; everything is in a specific spot and as long as nobody moves it I can find it.
That being said, I do have a lot of junk that needs to be trashed before I move out.

Lol I'm the exact same! It looks like a huge mess but I know where everything is

 

[HuffleClaw]

I would.
But in my defense I almost bought bantam BLRW eggs from eBay.

Ooooohhh

Kiki candling, hiding in dark places to candle eggs regardless of what day it is.

And occasionally in Asian grocery stores.
