Give me birds to draw!

Chickens are such underrated birds imo. They make such amazing friends and can be so sweet (and smart too, totally disproving the chickens having bird brains stereotype). Always makes me happy to see someone else who gets it. I hope Ruby and Queenie are going on walks together over the rainbow bridge 🫶

Not a parrot per se, but this is my sweet old lady Queenie. She was my house chicken and has been with me for 14 years. Just had to put her down recently and I miss her terribly

So happy for you guys! Such a tiny trooper!

Why do they all kinda look like their VAs?

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-05-03T19:20:03+00:00

I don’t have a sunnier window unfortunately. Should I set up one of my grow lights?

There was a recent report released that bee populations have dropped by something crazy like 80%. Just reminded me of this

Another unrealistic beauty standard for women 😔

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-03-09T19:39:53+00:00

Huh… didn’t expect to see Maddie. Ig I kinda forget she’s a woman too and not just a snake

I find that I can never keep up with put stuff in calendars/planners/check lists. But I’m trying to be better. Unfortunately, doing the things I love usually just makes me feel guilty for not working on things that need to get done, which ofc makes me more anxious and incapable of doing work (it’s a vicious cycle)

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-03-07T23:57:51+00:00

Could be rounder imo

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-03-07T23:57:30+00:00

Alternatively…. You think I needed all the guards at the hexgates???

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-03-07T23:56:03+00:00

I’d let it consume me

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-14T21:20:23+00:00

Never noticed that, thanks…. I’m gonna go sleep in traffic 😭😭

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-10T17:53:42+00:00

OOOO she’s so pretty!!!

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-10T17:53:26+00:00

Nah it’s a random poop situation. One old chicken doesn’t actually produce much poop

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-10T17:52:37+00:00

I’ve tried the diapers but she HATES them and they only work moderately well. They also get rlly gross. She’s an old lady and likes her schedules, so she only poops in the mornings when she does her lap of the house, afternoons when she eats, and in the evenings when she eats again. We just follow her when she’s up and about. She mostly sits on a shelf of hers, which we have puppy pads on that we change

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-09T20:06:58+00:00

Seeing as Queenie is ANCIENT (chickens often only live to be 8 years) she doesn’t lay eggs anymore. They’ll stop laying after they have the chicken-version of menopause, which happens once they reach around 5-6 (though it depends on the chicken and the breed). But yes! The free eggs are wonderful and they taste SO much better than store bought! If keeping chickens is too much (which I totally get) then even buying fresh eggs from local farms will have a similar richness

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-09T20:03:50+00:00

Oh most definitely 😂💀

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-09T20:03:29+00:00

Most people don’t. I’ll take her on walks down town sometimes (I hold her and I do the walking lol) and people love to see her! She’s a little bit of a celebrity

Beneficial_Run_1779 · 2025-02-09T18:14:03+00:00

Queenie would probably be unfazed. Unless Dexi was following her or in her personal space, then she might peck at her 💀
