I gave Sampson some peanuts and he decided to stand in the planter. He should be keeping an eye on his hens in the back yard but I guess he wanted a break. So I guess his daddy is keeping an eye on them.
I keep my band-aids, gauze wraps, and ointments in the bathroom cabinet. The cough medicine, pain meds and other oral meds I keep in one kitchen cabinet. Vitamins are kept in the spot between my microwave and fridge on a small tray. I keep oral meds in the kitchen so I can use drinks to help swallow them down.
recently saw ppl discuss whether they put their medicines in a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom cabinet and i was shocked by the fact that many ppl said kitchen cabinet. so now i need you to reblog this and say where you keep yours
I've quit posting for a little while, but I did want to share that my hen Teryaki is once again a momma! (Well, technically, they're her grand babies, but I won't tell her that).
So she's produced more eggs and I think it's my Easter egger that's laying them cause they're more green in color. The lighting doesn't do them justice. Cause she's more of a pet breed her eggs are on the smaller side. None from my two other girls yet but I'm hoping they'll start laying any day now.
I tried one of her eggs today with two store bought and hers wasn't as strong flavored as the store bought eggs. Don't get me wrong they were good too but hers had a milder taste if that makes sense? Something about the store bought ones was stronger or perhaps more pungent?
I was also thinking about maybe getting some brahma eggs late this winter to hatch out. My red and white rooster was one I hatched about two years ago now and he turned out to be a handsome mix of golden pheonix and golden comet breeds. ⬇️
This is Sampson
“When space poachers release Earth animals on an alien world, threatening a fragile new alliance, they anger the wrong people. A veterinarian, an accountant, and a furious sign-language-fluent gorilla are coming for them.”
Robin enjoys being one of the only humans around: an exotic outsider, strange and tall, with no shell and only two arms. Consulting for locals who want to keep Earth pets is a fine job. But when a swarm of rabbits invade town and humanity is blamed, everything unravels.
If Robin wants to save the alliance between two planets — and keep from getting sent home in disgrace — she has to prove that a powerful crime ring is behind the crisis. Luckily for her, she makes friends who are eager to help: from planetside, from the nearby space station, and recently escaped from the poacher’s ship.
Those poachers may be bug aliens with an excellent range of vision, but they won’t see this coming.

Img ID: the cover of the sci-fi novel “A Swift Kick to the Thorax.” It features a veterinarian’s prescription pad floating in space, with the title written in the prescription area. A pen floats behind it and a chunk has been bitten out of the pad.

Available everywhere! With many short stories to go with it, here on the good ol’ hellsite. And there’s plenty more where those came from!
The chicks are getting so big! Sampson and Teryaki have been teaching them well. I've ended up with 3 hens and a rooster.
The little roo is quite interesting. He has a marking type that I've never seen before (half white middle toes).I was considering selling any roos that hatched, but I may keep this one at least a year to see how he grows.
I'm also considering getting more Crested cream legbars to breed to Sampson, his son Tim, and his daughter Cookie along with at least the gold hen. She looks the most like Cookie.
I'll be trying to breed to Cookie's standard. I've come up with a breed name as well. The Sugar Cookie Egger.
Another possible breeding project for me will be an Americana/Easter egger type bird to create a true breeding line of heavy foraging, flighty, good laying, predator smart birds. Preferably in whitetail deer brown for good camouflage. I'll be calling this breed The Deerhen.
Colored oreo and commet for Christmas. Don't worry, it's 100% pet safe!
