Apparently she likes the eggs I gave her because she has now repositioned herself and full on pancaked over them.

You don't want/need more chicks right?Apparently she likes the eggs I gave her because she has now repositioned herself and full on pancaked over them.

I don't understand why you want her to stay broody.
Block the nest off at night.
Okay, this is a really long post in the first spoiler so feel free to ignore it but it does contain some health related stuff.
Second post is pictures which are very out of order so my apologies.
Second post is pictures which are very out of order so my apologies.
This past week, I had completed my first undergraduate research program, the UT System LSAMP, and traveled to El Paso to present my poster and research.
I was a few miles from the shooting, and we were all very frightened for the reminder of the conference. The police presence on the UTEP campus doubled in precaution while we were there. As it was happening, no one was allowed to leave the Union and campus directors were to be told where a person was going whenever someone was to leave the room.
On Friday afternoon, after I had presented my poster that morning, I was walking and listening to Group 2 presenters. During one girl’s presentation, I started feeling faint, so I backed up against the wall which was the last thing I remember, but had I not done so, I would have passed out and hit the concrete floor, instead I hit my head on the wall and fell into the girl’s bag.
I still have no recollection of what had happened, all I know is when I woke up (which I was told was just a second after passing out) I had felt as if I had just woken up from sleeping all night long. Thankfully for me, I had my TCC LSAMP director, and the best professor I have ever had, Dr. Jean Maines there for me, as I was panicking since I didn’t know anyone who had woken me up. Without her, I would have been a wreck.
I’d also like to thank my lab partner in crime that I am 110% sure I would not have survived the summer without, Leilani Lilly. She kept me sane throughout this process, and we became each other’s vent buddy.
As for my research over the summer..
My academic pathway strayed far from most of the other students there that were in the program. I was the only pre-vet major, thus this meant that I had no specific field that was available for me to research in. I’m almost positive my campus director, Dr. Kenyatta Dawson, was lost trying to fit me into a spot!
The placement I received was in the University of Texas - Arlington in Dr. Matthew Walsh’s evolutionary ecology laboratory. My time there included mostly caring for the laboratory’s testing organism Daphnia (water fleas). As well as sifting through lake sediment for dispausing resting eggs that we used to resurrect ancestral Daphnia populations, all the way back to 1990.
These little transparent crustaceans became my sole focus from the beginning of June, up and until this past Sunday morning. I watched hundreds of them grow up over the course of the summer, and developed vital lab skills that I can transfer to any other lab.
My research-based job was to landmark the maturity photos (first sighting of eggs) of the Daphnia in order to analyze, the potentially evolutionary, morphological differences that the Daphnia in Wisconsin were displaying in response to a new novel predator Bythotrephes longimanus (spiny water flea) which appeared in 2009 causing the Madison area to lose $140 million a year from lost tourism due to the water clarity declining.
Our research did come up with some significant values for the two species researched, though it’s just a drop in the bucket as to whether the changes are evolutionary or not.
Overall, this experience, especially the last two days, was something I’m never going to forget. I made some amazing friends, and future connections that I would have never had had without LSAMP. Furthermore, I also have solidified that research is much more that what a person thinks, and that I am certain now that my academic pathway is to be a veterinarian.

Do you think you freaked out and fainted or do you not eat?
Are you ok now?

The Coffee Box containers...
I want a few containers like this sooooo bad to turn into a house.
One day I'll get them.

Cause I was gonna let her hatch some. My mom likes the idea and I’ve always wanted to let a broody hatch/raise chicks so I was gonna let one finally. I normally never get broodies so I was gonna take advantage of it hah
But idk. I might not. But right now I’m just testing to see if she’s serious.
I normally would just break her of being broody and be done with it but she seems really serious so I figured I’d give her a shot.
I honestly have no idea as to why I passed out. I had eaten, I was drinking water constantly, and walking around to make sure I didn’t lock my knees at all.
Do you think you freaked out and fainted or do you not eat?
Are you ok now?
I haven’t really felt the same since either. I’m not entirely sure how to describe the feeling in it’s entirety, but I guess I feel as if I’m walking against the current all of the time and everything is hazy.
I loved how that looked! So different.

Oh boy I hope this passes quick for you.
How's the new house working out?
It’s been good! Much better now that we are finally getting things settled and fixed up. The drive wasn’t too horrible after two months of getting used to it.Oh boy I hope this passes quick for you.
How's the new house working out?
I’m having trouble with my memory so I don’t know if I’ve already posted about our new rescue mini? Maybe? Hopefully not.
Anyways her name is Sugar.
