Make no mistake, I think that losing my beloved pets, is a drain on my interpersonal relationships with other people. I haven’t heard from the center yet about the cause of Arizona’s death, and my imagination is racing. I’m hearing all the time “what’s wrong Alexander, things happen. Besides, it’s only a chicken.” Don’t these people realize, that my birds are my family? Don’t they know how deeply that statement cuts into me? I am a sensitive person and I care very much about people, and animals. Their safety and well-being is a priority for me. (Sorry that my humanity is showing in this rant, but I take all of it to heart.) maybe that’s a cause of my anxiety and high blood pressure? :idunno Rant over.

Other people don't understand. I've heard the same thing said about a cat or dog as well. Many people struggle to understand attachments of any kind. Don't let them get you down. We all understand here. :hugs :hugs:hugs

So, I have 9 new babies 🥰 . There were 11 eggs under them between the two. 9 fully hatched, one sort of hatched, sort of got the egg crushed around it & didn't make it, one egg quit about 1/2 way through. (Surprisingly, no true 'duds!) I"m so excited!:wee

I'll get more pics later today. All are EE daddy: (the one in the back in this picture)

The egg donors were: EE (6), Welsummer (1) and Cuckoo Marans (2) and one of my Isa Browns (2). The one that quit was an EE, I think the one that didn't make it was an EE, but honestly don't remember, and when I checked later, the chick & egg were no where to be found (?would momma have eaten it?) There are 2 black, one chocolate brown, and lots of chipmunks!

I'm so excited!!! Hopefully I will have better luck than @RebeccaBoyd with the f- to -m ratio! Only time will tell, though.🤷‍♀️
