I've Quit Posting For A Little While, But I Did Want To Share That My Hen Teryaki Is Once Again A Momma!

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.

So... oreo got a hold of me. That's his teeth marks on my neck. My daddy put the heat lamp up for the goats and I was trying to distract oreo and hold the light cause it's late evening and dark. Oreo was on his desk trying to pull daddy's jacket so I started petting him and scratching behind his horns. He started pulling on my shirt and when I looked up at daddy oreo nipped me. Goats don't have top front teeth so they can grip plants and use the bottom ones to cut the grass or leaves off the main plant.

reblog and put in the tags your pet’s name, and the most ridiculous nickname you call them.

I keep seeing ads for cotton candy flavored vape pods on tumblr and it made me wonder…

Why/Why not in the tags?

I’m interested because I feel like when I was in high school/college in the mid-10s, almost nobody smoked - even if you otherwise had some pretty hard vices. I think it was considered not really worth it for something with such a small buzz. But now, idk. Maybe the advertisers are right to target people here because it’s just that popular again??

(Reblog for a bigger sample size etc etc.)

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.

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.

Seth from Day Shift 2022. Anyone else think he's a cutie? I mean he's a total nervous wreck, he's got glasses, and a man bag. He's a total dork! So cute!
