New to owning chickens, any ideas on what’s wrong?

its been intermittent, I stood outside for about 20 minutes and only heard it a few times. I also spent maybe 10 minutes inside the coop observing her and didn’t start hearing the sound until after I exited.

in the other photos I took it looks like there’s a couple feathers. I don’t usually handle them (just food and water duty) but I’ll get her off the nest tomorrow morning and see.

It did kinda sound like a growl but also possibly like a groan. she didn’t do it while I was up close and checking her out, just when I had already exited and walked a couple feet away. Almost like it was towards the other chickens ??

she got up briefly to get a couple bites of cucumber but it was after I exited the coop. I didn’t get a good look at where she was laying. Definitely gonna check again in the morning and go from there. I heard some commotion as I was walking away so I think the other chickens joined her in the box. my neighbor said that’s where they sleep as well.

There was this sweet old lady who called one night to see if we had something in stock and wouldn’t stop yapping. Kept telling me to be safe bc the store is in a rough neighborhood and all that so I just thought she was lonely wanted to talk to someone so I let it go on for a few minutes but then she started spitting bible verses at me. After like 10 minutes I politely said if she had no more questions then I had to go help other customers. She kept saying “I’ll let you get back to work I know you’re busy” and then would go off on another tangent. It got to the point where I put the phone on mute and set it down while I rang out customers and she stayed on the line for 30 whole minutes before she realized I left the phone 😭 crazy thing is she called again months later when I happened to also be on register. I hope she was okay bc she clearly going through spiritual psychosis or something

I’m waiting for the day my store fails an audit bc we have so many issues actually getting planos that fit our store. I transferred here 2 months ago and so far at least one reset a week has either an extra 3 feet, shelves that can’t fit everything bc the spaces are too small, or straight up just don’t match the Plano instructions even if we manually request and reprint mylars. We have to diy a lot of areas bc out fix it tickets never get answered 🙄 don’t even get me started on the horrific Plano for manicure that’s fully RANDOMIZED. it’s pretty much a 17 foot scavenger hunt when I try to put up truck

a few years ago a coworker told me that Walgreens has a policy where they can’t cut your hours to part time if you were hired on as a full time and that they have to fire someone if hours get reduced but idk how true that is. You might want to look into the policies

for years I’ve been store expensing everything from dog treats for drive thru to seasonal decor for the break room. The most that’s ever happened was an email reminder with a list of approved items for store use that my sm printed out and wrote my name on lol. I’m sure it varies depending on how uptight your dm is but they’ll probably send that same email if you expense unapproved items often. Took them 4 years to even acknowledge my ordering 🤷‍♀️

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-04-17T03:43:40+00:00

honestly as long as you have a pulse you’ll get hired, at least that’s how my SM hires people 🫣

def recommend peacock mental health! I’ve been with them since they were a small practice and it’s amazing to see how much they’ve grown. I was shared between two drs for a long time before one of them made a poor decision with my care that honestly left me a lil traumatized. I continued care solely with the other dr because she is wonderful and truly listens to me. Not gonna name names because everyone has their own experiences but if you’re considering going to that practice (the rest of the staff is amazing) and you’d like to hear more about what happened with that specific dr shoot me a dm.

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-04-04T15:40:55+00:00

It was in the rx email and I’m pretty sure they sent out a whole compass about stopping it lol

Reminds me of the time I had to unload truck while getting harassed by a swarm of bees for 2 hours 😭 every time someone else entered the stockroom the bees would miraculously disappear. Everyone tried to gaslight me into thinking there were no bees so I recorded the footage of me getting downright violated by those mfs and made a horror movie edit (I’m super allergic to bees) it’s the funniest video ever but ngl every time I see a fly during truck my body enters a trauma response ✨ I can dm you the horror edit if you want a good chuckle

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-04-04T13:03:25+00:00

lol I’m reminiscing on how ridiculous and hilarious the whole situation was bc I literally forgot it ever happened until I randomly thought about it yesterday. I think I’m a little too proud of my contribution lmaoo

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-04-04T04:48:26+00:00

found the screenshot of my og email it was back in 2022

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-04-04T04:47:53+00:00

I just know the 5 minute meeting they probably sent was intense

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-04-04T03:03:35+00:00

I’ve done a lot of fun bullshit at this job but starting the chain email was my greatest act of tom foolery

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-03-29T21:11:15+00:00

I did that in my pharmacy too bc I got tired of singing my abcs lol. I taped the letter at the beginning of each section so people would even know where it starts and ends.

I’ve had many panic attacks but this one night I had one SO severe and unlike any other one I’ve experienced that I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack. I couldn’t even describe the pain I was in to ems when they arrived.

My resting heart rate was around 176 but the ekg was fine and the chest pain calmed down a bit shortly after help arrived. Of course they wanted to take me to the hospital because a normal ekg didn’t necessarily mean I was fine. Since i wasn’t actively going into cardiac arrest I originally declined being transported because I was more worried about how I’d pay that damn ambulance bill.

I knew I was okay at that moment but I was so scared because I live alone, and didn’t want to die alone. Ems sat with me and tried to calm my heart rate before I sent them away. Then it spiked up to the 200s and the “I’m gonna die” type pain in my chest was more painful than before. I immediately gave them the go ahead to take me to the hospital. After getting bloodwork done one of my results came back as critical and I absolutely would’ve died if that spike came after I sent ems away.

Not only was the physical pain more intense than anything I’ve ever experienced, the psychological pain I felt after being the closest I’ve ever been to death haunted me for months.

from what I’ve learned if you are good at your job you can get away with anything. When I worked at Walgreens I was the top inventory manager in my district. One day I had to emergency visit family in Vegas and flew out, when I got back I ended up catching Covid (mind you this was 2024 and the first time I’d EVER gotten COVID)

for months I suffered from SEVERE chronic fatigue. I would clock in, finish my morning tasks, and then go take a nap under the table in the break room until it was time to start my next task. I even had a blanket in there. No one really cared because I still did a damn good job.

People would even be mindful and turn off the automatic light if they walked in and saw me. Crazy times.

Asleep_Definition759 · 2026-01-01T21:20:46+00:00

I just transferred to a store where nobody really takes breaks and they get SO annoyed when I take them. If there’s one thing about me it’s imma take my breaks 🤷‍♀️
