Official Squatch Watchers

I always keep quick stop on hand in case i cut animal toenails too short. Great at stopping bleeding, like styptic.

Not sure if I've filled y'all in or not, but the neighbor has 3 chickens that like to come down to our coop and hang out. Unbeknownst to me, one of the black ones got mixed up in our flock while they were free ranging the day before yesterday, and has made quite a slutty name for herself! Like, ALL the roos get in on the G.B. (NSFR), and they've ripped all the feathers out of a circle in her back.

Been TRYING to get ST to call the neighbor to come get her, and the neighbor FINALLY called us back this evening and will be getting her tomorrow morning. Speaking QUITE LOUDLY in the background of STs and the neighbors phone conversation, I made it CLEARLY KNOWN they will need to lock up their chickies for a while to keep them outta my yard!

Next time, I'm gonna either keep and use for eggs or keep and use for meat. Sick of this chit.

Drs appointment tomorrow.... and it's with a plastic surgeon. I am hoping to get insurance approval for a reduction mammaplasty. After the birth of PIC, my bewbs have steadily gotten bigger, regardless of what my weight is. So, cross your fingers the DR says I qualify!!! I think 44G/Hs should qualify, right?!?

I hope all goes well for you

What about liquid bandage

Not sure it would work as I have never used it.
Flour and corn starch are things found in most kitchens.

I keep styptic powder here myself. Good stuff.

What about liquid bandage

Not that close to a bird's nostrils. The fumes that come off that stuff are STRONG.

Insurance paid for my procedure. I had a lot of back pain. They should pay for yours.

My Mom told me cross my fingers “but I’m old so I’ll cross my legs.”


And yes—you should most definitely qualify! Thinking about bewbs that big makes my back hurt.

As it's TriCare (military insurance), they have very specific requirements I have to meet... but, from what I've read about my referral DR, he's kind of an ass... which benefits me greatly. He might *stretch* the requirements a bit... in case I actually don't qualify.

And I seriously LIVE on heating pads. You can tell where I sit in the house and which side of the bed is mine, as there are permanent heating pads installed there! Funny... but sad too.....

I want to apologize to all of my Squatchers for not being around as much, and not being in my usual high spirits. With ST (Super Tater) thisclose to retiring, and still having SO MUCH STUFF we need to do to get this micro farm up and running, I am living in a pool of stress.

We have layers doing their job and we're getting close to 2 dozen eggs a day.... but none going OUT. The dozen we've put in the bator all look really well, except for 1 of the leghorn eggs, which seemed unfertilized, and another one looks like it has a blood ring, but we're letting it go until the next candling. That means 10 are definitely going well, so we can start selling hatching eggs... and chickies as well... AS SOON AS we get the NPIP certification... which we can't do until the neighbors gets his chickens out of our yard..........

No worries Smuvey, we're an understanding and forgiving bunch of tater tots.

I had a roo in a small detached pin. Dumb dumb went crazy and broke the tip of his beak. I put cornstarch on it, trying to stop the bleeding. View attachment 1334904View attachment 1334903

Oh wow, how's he doing today?

Two chicks have hatched, but I think I figured out why one of those eggs was smaller than the other 4......

I think it is a 3/4 LF Cochin from Molasses over one of his BSL daughters.

ADORABLE!!!!

I did flour too. Last check, it appears clotted. I found someone to buy him this evening, and then I find him bleeding He is so flighty and spastic and torments the silkies and Cochins. Dum-dum. His litter mates aren’t laying yet.
I will get more pics tomorrow.

Are they still going to take him?

Good luck! I have a very busty friend who tried years ago to get hers reduced and the dr told her that she just needed to lose weight (she wore size 10 pants at the time). She has horrific back pain but they wouldn't do it. IDK if she's tried in recent years though. Hopefully your dr finds a way to get it done. It's ridiculous the things they'll approve, and the things they won't.
