Update! I Found Out Its A Common Yellow-throat.

Sorry for not posting much lately. Here are some of my chicks who I've already moved out to the coop. The white one is Tim. Black is Cassandra or Cassie. And the reddish one is Barbara. Named after Batman characters.

Commet was sleeping hard here back.

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

My poor sweet boy Sampson broke his spur off again. 😥

Not sure if it's the same one as last time. I assume he may have tried to get my other rooster through the fence and got it caught up.

Either that or he did it getting on the roost for the night, but I didn't see any blood on anything else. Couldn't find his missing spur either, and it's a big piece to just up and go missing. They're at least two, maybe two and a half inches long each.

Anyway, I went back inside after putting everyone up and grabbed a new syringe from the medicine cabinet. Filled it with water and grabbed the antibiotic spray from the pet cabinet along with the chickens' vitamin powder to add to their fresh water.

Went back out and rinsed it out good with the syringe. Then, I sprayed it with antibiotics and added a pinch of the vitamins to their water.

Hopefully, he'll heal up well, but I'm liable to keep cleaning it for a few days.

Teriyaki is currently broody and has about 7 eggs under her. Hopefully, she'll commit to caring for them as they're well-developed now. I just wish she didn't choose now to get Broody since I already have 6 new chicks plus the four adults including her.

“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!

32-hours, same pay. This is progress.
