right now i just deal with the poop ... shes too small for a diaper right now but after a few more weeks i should be able to get one on her. just keep baby wipes stocked up. she typically falls asleep cuddled under the blanket right next to me and i wake up with her either at my feet or jumping on my face. get them as babies so theyre comfortable with you. but it is a biiiig responsibility. you cant go many places and if you do, you gotta take them with you. im still not able to leave her alone lol. but its definitely worth it.

Lol it used to be this app/website where people post 6 second videos. Some of them were really creative and funny and people took it really seriously, some people even became famous from it lol "Viners" were a thing just like YouTubers and YouNowers lol

Another app, this one a live video stream thing except they have like coins and prizes lol it used to be you had to take turns so like there'd be a list thing and one person would go but you could only be on for so long and then you got kicked off so the other person could have a chance so it was cool to find talented people like singers and stuff but now you can go on as long as you want you get enough votes also a bunch of arrogant kids swarmed it and think they're "famous" so it got kind of ruined haha but they do have conventions and tours and stuff with famous digital people YouTubers, YouNow, Vine, etc

What is good and safe to use for dust baths for your house chicken?
There are lots of commercial sands with minerals for reptiles and chinchilla. Can a chicken use these?
