Teriyaki Is Currently Broody And Has About 7 Eggs Under Her. Hopefully, She'll Commit To Caring For Them

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.

“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!

Gave the animals a pumpkin today and most is going to be set up tonight for wildlife. I'll try to get some pics of deer and other animals eating it.

Eggs are in the incubator! CL- cream legbar, BCM- Black copper Maran, EE- Easter egger. All are hopefully fertilized by either Sampson or tulip. Tulip is a Golden pheonix and Sampson is crossed with tulip and his mother, a Golden commet.

My most recent chicks who are still indoors till I'm able to get everything situated for them.

Made this simple recipe I found today. Ham and egg breakfast bowls.

Ingredients

Eggs - one for each muffin mold.

A bit of melted butter

Circle slice ham or turkey

Veggies of your choice

Cheese of your choice

Salt & pepper or other seasonings

------------

Instructions

With melted butter grease muffin tin and place deli meat inside to make a bowl shape.

Add a pinch of cheese on ham, then add an egg to each bowl.

Next add veggies more cheese and seasonings.

Preheat oven to 400°F or aprox 204°C.

Once heated, place tin in oven and cook for 15 min, occasionally checking to make sure the egg isn't overcooked or the cheese burned. It's alright if the ham looks a little extra crispy 😉.

Once cooked, remove, cool, and enjoy!

Oreo and Franny waiting for hay.

Oreo and Franny have their winter coats on. Franny has a thicker short coat compared to Oreo's longer thinner coat.

This is about 3 years' worth of Oreo's wool that I brush off him each spring. Franny doesn't usually let me brush her, so she just rubs it off herself.

Decided to sketch a quick group of birds.

Everyone's lying down for the night.❤️🌙💤
