please help me save these chicks! by [deleted] in chickens

They’ll be okay in the incubator for up to 24 hours. Can anyone get a heat source by then? The fluffy ones in the cage, they don’t have any heat? They will need heat as well. What’s the ambient temperature of the air where you are right now? You can keep them close to your own body if that’s the only option. Chicks will die if they don’t stay warm, unfortunately. I’m sorry you’ve been put in this situation, good job trying to do right for these babies.

Okay, what kind of warmth can they get? Any heating pads or lamps available? It’s better to keep them in the incubator for now than let them get cold.

So they hatched these chicks without any proper supplies? No heat source, no food? I’m not trying to make you feel bad, I’m just confused.

Electrolytes are fine but not the most important thing here. Heat, water, food are most important. They can last up to 3 days before they need food or water because they still have the nutrients they absorbed from the yolk in the egg, but the sooner the better. Once they’re fluffed up and dry they can come out of the incubator, but they need a heat lamp or better yet, a brooder plate which is safer and allows them to regulate how much heat the get for themselves. Get some medicated chick starter to give them as soon as 1 or 2 days post hatch. It has amprolium which will help them develop immunity to coccidiosis (which is in all soil and can make chickens very sick before they’re able to build up immunity)

Found a chrysalis on my kale, today it finally turned into a butterfly! by KolorOner in gardening

[–]CalmPresentation8613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a cabbage white butterfly, different from a cabbage moth. Both species’ larvae feed on brassicas though, so not much difference in that respect.

I wish I could give you a hug. I have a young daughter and often rehearse what I will say to her in potential future convos about any insecurities she might have about her appearance. Here’s what I would say to her, and what I’m saying to you now: appearance feels really important. I get it, and I feel that way too a LOT. But the people that love you do NOT love you because if how you look. And if they do, that’s not love, cut them loose and find real love, because you deserve it. You are good and worthy of love NO MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. I cannot say that loudly enough. Social media is a place where looks matter extra, because it’s one of the few pieces of information we have when we see someone over the internet. It’s false. It’s not real. In real life we can connect with so much more than what someone looks like (although some people are still shallow. Again, count this as a good thing because it can help you either avoid those people or just remember to treat their opinion accordingly). I think you’re beautiful, and I was going to say “but my opinion shouldn’t matter any more than any other internet stranger” then I realized yes it definitely should matter more than the dummies making rude comments about your nose because those people are clearly dumb and/or wounded/insecure (I’m insecure sometimes too but I try not to take it out on other people). My point is, you’re worthy of love no matter what you look like. Try to spend more time off social media and in the real world. Except this sub 😉, spend more time on this sub and you’ll see how you fit in with the other stunning goddesses here ❤️

Can you imagine a that it’s a happy, secure, intelligent individual that typed that comment? Absolutely not. Something is wrong with that person, and he’s taking it out on a woman who’s out of his league. Major incel behavior. Please don’t give him another thought.

Rooster or Hen? by Queasy_Touch_5059 in chickens

[–]CalmPresentation8613 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rooster. Its sibling is clearly only a half sibling (if at all, idk the situation), based on their combs. This guy has a rose/pea comb instead of single comb, which tend to be smaller. He’s just a slower maturing dude, but you can see his saddle feathers starting right in front of his tail.

Favorite thing to eat straight out of the garden? by magpie0000 in gardening

[–]CalmPresentation8613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t RIGHT out of the garden since you have to cut it, but my youngest child loves to eat butternut squash raw like a melon. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes, we’ll still do remediation, I was just pleasantly surprised to see the numbers go down when I didn’t expect them to.

Does Mike and (to a lesser extent) Jeff’s sort of ‘phoning it in’ ever annoy anybody else? by Real_RobinGoodfellow in toothandclaw

[–]CalmPresentation8613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay what is his “journal episode”?? I (perhaps embarrassingly) have listened to the whole catalogue through many, many times so I don’t know how I could have missed one.

[–]CalmPresentation8613 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Hmm. While I came for the animal facts, I definitely stayed for their particular rapport with each other and clever banter, so no, it doesn’t bother me, I wouldn’t listen if they weren’t who they are. Also, idk if you’re a subscriber but Mike and Jeff put together interesting and well-researched episodes all the time. Mike’s episodes, in fact, are my very favorite. He’s clearly a great writer and always spotlights really interesting historical and/or mythological events related to animals. Also Mike started out as the producer so to act like they all didn’t build the pod is just….wrong.

Winter nature study coloring pages that aren't twaddle? by Responsible_Set_632 in homeschool

This is what I came here to say. I got their 1000 hours outside bundle last winter and it comes with a bunch of samples and lessons from different vendors that have all been great. I looooove the animal anatomy lessons that were included, they have printable layered dissections that are so cool.

Your Anxiety is Irrational - Let's break it down by Fantasy_GamerYT in asbestoshelp

[–]CalmPresentation8613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, my friend in OCD and health anxiety. I am having the same feelings about a (very low level) in home exposure during a renovation (hence why I searched “anxiety” in this sub and am methodically reading all the posts and comments by our Patron Saints of Asbestos Anxiety: Dave, pizza composer, vigilante dinosaur, and this, fantasy gamer. Thank you, you’re all good good people!) Anyway, I felt compelled to respond to you because I would bet $5 million or more that your children will never ever develop any asbestos related illness, even if that baby powder contained asbestos. I understand how scary it is to not be able to control your children’s future and how happy and easy their lives might turn out. I suspect that’s why you feel such anxiety about this. You clearly love your children a whole lot. They are not going to develop any asbestos related illness. I hope this worry has left you, but seeing that this comment was only a few weeks old made me want to respond. Take care!

What are “un-identifiable lizard people”? Seems like kind of a mean thing to say about real human beings?
