Spilling the Tea (chat thread)

[HuffleClaw]

Omg "spilling the tea" is one of my favorite phrases.

Hi Kris!

Yesterday I got 2 Siamese algea eaters at PetSmart (I really hate that place, but I wanted algea eaters... soo...)

This morning, I was cleaning the tank, and I used the net to put all my fish into a container while I do that. One of those algea eaters grabbed onto the net and would NOT let go. 2 hours passed by and he was still breathing but latched on. So, I did something I may regret later & pulled him off myself (gently of course).

Howdy all! And good morning!
Maybe this will turn into one of those HUGE chat threads! I plan to stick around - and invite some more people: @Claires Poultry @FluffTheDuck @Duck_life @HuffleClaw @SoftSilkie @BantyChooks @YodaBat

I'm having a good morning so far. I let my chickens out in freezing cold weather this morning. Poor girls didn't want to come out at first. I'm sure their water is freezing right now, too. Any tips on how to keep in "un-frozen" without a heater?

We've been dumping out their water at night and then filling it up in the morning because they don't need it at night since they're sleeping.

Oh gosh! I have a bristlenose pleco. I think I got him at Petco, I rarely go there. Most of my fish I've had for over 4 years.

He seems fine but I hope I didn’t hurt him. I didn’t know what else to do.


I will say, I prefer Petco over PetSmart.

We just had to feed the dogs eggs because we have way too many! And to think I just added 7 more pullets

If he's swimming around, I'd assume it's fine! Fish get hooks in them from fishing and are fine. I think you gently pulling it off and not ripping it off was key.

Give eggs away to the neighbors! (Like ME! I'm not getting ANY eggs right now from my six pullets.)

I don't think anyone is home until after the new year. I'm going to give some away to my parents neighbors.

I have 7 pullets and I'm getting 4-5 eggs from. The 7 newest ones are only 7 weeks old right now. Some I hatched and some I got at the swap last Sunday.

Hoping the ones I got at the swap lay colored eggs. One is orpington/Easter Egger and the other is just an Easter Egger mix.
