Can I have that kitty??

I am on the waiting list for a tiny giraffe but I am pretty far down the list sooooo not sure I will EVER GET ONE.

That’s true!! But I haven’t even checked it or added more ice since I did it so I’m sure it’s bad but then again maybe not considering it’s been below freezing the past two nights. The lady actually just called me back finally, apparently the message didn’t go through till now, but not sure if I’ll call her back or not considering the body’s somewhat old now and I think they usually need fresh samples but idk. I was thinking I might try doing it myself. But maybe I should just start by going and checking on the body hah

Call them!!! You need the info on what his issue was in order to move forward informed.

Yeah I know but I’m really worried the bodies too old or hasn’t been kept cold enough now.

I was going to treat him as if he was positive.

Oh it’s totally in my blood. My friend and I talk about running away to live in Montana and have a farm. Not sure either husband has an interest but I know I do. I was raised in a big city and live in a typical boring suburb. But my friend keeps asking to use my yard for chickens and I keep saying yes...I want goats. And pigs. And vegetables. Those I’ve done but the animals always gettem. Thing is we kinda don’t care. It’s fun to watch them steal the food. They think they are tricking us but we’re watching from the window laughing. Kinda defeats the purpose I guess.

So you do understand! I watch my hens thru the window destroying my newly planted garden
But, I don't care either!

We also tend to get a little (or a lot) off topic sometimes, this thread being a great example, lol, it was supposed to be about what were all doing in regard to this crisis.
I’ll try to bring it back:
Myself I panicked a bit about not being able to get new chicks this year, my flock is old and I’d planned to transition to a whole new breed. Locally hatched chicks (and rabbits and goats) started disappearing online as soon as they were posted, I was only able to get five of a breed I don’t even want (Whiting True Blues), but that’s fine since they’re so bloody cute!
I also bought my first incubator from amazon, and a box of hatching eggs from someone an hour away (eggs posted online also disappeared quickly!) so now I have these seven fuzz balls:

Black is a copper maran, two white are maran (?), the three brown are partridge chantecler and the silver is the lone araucana that hatched. No names yet except this guy:

I’m calling her Four, it’s from a movie but I think the reason is obvious! She also has a cute black eyelash mark, sure hope it’s a girl!
