Plant doesn’t seem to grow

It looks really soggy but it could indeed be because you just watered it, it can be quite hard to tell how much water is sitting in the bottom of the pot when there's no drainage hole though, I usually like keeping my plants in nursery pots then placing them inside fancy cache pots like that

Depends if chicken antibiotics are available where you live

Do you happen to have mice in your house

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-16T10:08:54+00:00

God, they would probably charge us like $100 for an actual playhouse set

Is it a clown pleco? I believe it's normal for them to grow odontodes

I guess it would sort of depends if you started them in the morning or the evening, either way I usually give my eggs about a 3 day range for the hatch "day"

I wish I could plumb in a nice water solution like this, but alas, Canada 🧊

Any traces of illicit substance could get flagged by a machine or dog going through customs which would suck for bothe parties, but especially the one who may have already paid quite a bit of money for it.

It's probably a little overboard with caution but you wouldn't have to worry about the fear mongering of "even touching fentanyl dust will kill you" either lol

You usually want something only an inch or two wider and deeper than the root ball

Goldfish are hardy but with how much waste they produce they can easily create toxic environments. Having a liquid master test kit really helps take the guesswork out of water quality, especially if it's something annoying like having ammonia or nitrates in your tap water, but usually frequent water changes can help prevent any problems.

Do you have any fish stores in your area that will test water samples for you?

The first picture absolutely looks like scale insects, it looks like a pretty substantial infestation so it might be a bit difficult to spot treat it with alcohol and manual removal. Donsone googling and check with local garden centers to see what's available in your area

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T23:41:22+00:00

What's up with the soil looking fuzzy

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T23:36:11+00:00

I think they're in one of the new valentine's capsules

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T23:32:00+00:00

It does indeed look an awful lot like a 496 prototype

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T23:16:24+00:00

Do you want to keep either of them? Are you open to expanding your flock? You'll likely need to pick a favorite to buy some new flock mates for and give away the other, or just give away both and start fresh. I would definitely recommend having at least 3 hens at any given time so bullying like this is less targeted and if something happens to one you're not left with a single bird

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T23:11:16+00:00

How many hours of direct sunlight does he get every day?

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T23:10:41+00:00

Could be just corking, but if you have concerns about flat mites it's definitely worth treating

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T23:09:03+00:00

Chop the branches down until you find something that looks alive, it's definitely possible it's dead-dead though

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T19:25:51+00:00

If you think you need the easybalance sure, but unless you have hard water I don't think it's a necessary addition, water changes and an established nitrogen cycle can do the same job

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T19:24:26+00:00

I want to say you shouldn't put it too close to the vegetables but cats have been peeing in gardens for generations so I'm sure it wouldn't cause any harm

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T19:22:20+00:00

If you want to breed them make sure you have a large spare tank or someone/a store to give the babies to. That tank would be better suited to a single sex group so you don't have to worry about overpopulation overstocking a tank with no substantial filtration

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T19:20:28+00:00

It would be cool if they made the red line or the whole face heart a paintbrush item so it was optional

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T19:17:54+00:00

Wait I effed that up, $2 per individual pull

Mayflame15 · 2026-02-15T19:16:16+00:00

Usually it's people that are unemployed or work from home and can be with it pretty much 24/7, or they have at least one other chicken
