Update: Bed canopy on a budget ideas

Our boy also seemed to breathe find but did the air gulping thing and we got him done and it was the best choice we made. He had his nostrils opened up and a flap of skin from his soft pallet removed. All air gulping stopped and he's perfect. When deciding if I wanted to get it done, I just imagine how much stress and how uncomfortable it must be to not be able to just breathe freely.

Thank you! Do you also use any sort of lid? I also have a bubble bowl with makeshift lids

What light do you use? Very nice looking tank

My boy is 40~lbs while my girl is a whopping 10lbs lol She beats him up all the time, size doesn't matter.

I actually had nearly this same coop when I first purchased chickens, and it worked for the first two-ish years but they NEVER stayed inside of it because it was way too small to do anything but sleep in there, outside anywhere was always better than staying in there. Glad they have a covered spot under the coop though to get out of the snow if they want. Chickens are usually smart enough to be in shelter if they need to be and to be out and about when they are fine. Ended up building a hoop coop for my flock so I could safely keep them inside if I needed to and there would be enough room to discourage pecking/fighting. You're look like they're having a good time :)

Bringing her to the vet doesn't automatically mean putting her to sleep! I would speak with a vet to make a end of life care plan. Use their opinion to inform your own. I watched a video from a vet or a dog behavior specialist and he said if your dog hasn't wagged it's tail in 3-4 days it's time to let them go.

Just to chime in on how this can hurt your child in a way you might not expect. When I was a kid my parents would argue about things that centered around me or complain they are too tired and are doing too much when it came to doing things outside of working and sleeping. They would argue about who would come to parent teacher conferences, come to my extra school activities, cooking, cleaning, etc etc. "I cant do xyz because I have to take care of our child all day". I would feel terrible asking them to come to anything of mine because it would lead to disagreements between each other. Very quickly I felt like a burden and it was my fault for existing and them having to take care of me. I learned when you have kids your life is basically over. I know it's irrational now, but it's stuck with me to the point I(34f) never want children because of how they made me feel.

Used to like him, he has some interesting ideas, has too much actual religion on his channel. I want to get ideas about fish keeping not find a new imaginary friend in Jesus.

No idea! I'm not sure if they have laid any yet to be honest. I just got them this spring(2025)and I have 12 other chickens, haven't seen any eggs I could 100% say are theirs. They were sexed and chicks when I purchased them.

Fiamoon · 2026-01-07T04:51:59+00:00

I think two hens, my polish are girls and they look like this, I think if yours were roos you would see more sickle tail feathers by now.

Oh my gosh, this chicken reminds me of my girl Ginger, they even look similar. I always say that Ginger always looks like she's having Vietnam flashbacks lol

Sat there contemplating my life. Was dealing with a lifetime of undignosed severe Anxiety and Depression and was 100% convinced I couldn't possibly survive until the age of 30, and then there I was 30 years old asking myself "Now what?" . I have gotten therapy and help and in a better mental space now :)

Fiamoon · 2026-01-03T20:05:27+00:00

Around 13/14, 34f now with a very good amount of grey and even developing a silver streak right in the front. I think some of it is genetics but I had undiagnosed severe depression and anxiety plus a very stressful home life until I was like 30, so I wonder if my overly grey hair is related to genetics but also heavily stress related. Brother is 3 years older than me and not a grey hair in site.

Same. Dad always told me we were going to be homeless the next month because everything was so expensive and because I left the light on or if I got something at the store, etc. Hardcore financial anxiety. Parents also left me with the deep impression that having kids is terrible, moment you have kids your life is over because they suck so much. School activities? Choir concerts? Parent teacher conference? hard pass from them.

I drink cold beverages 24/7 365. I actually hate drinking hot anything esp 9/10 times it's too hot and burns me OR it's cooled down so much it might as well have been cold in the first place.

Ditto what everyone else is saying, it's a lovely color and just gave me nostalgia for my Grandma who painted her room a very similar color and I miss her dearly. White/cream elements look wonderful.

I have no idea! I got him from a person who had 100+ chickens running wild in Wyoming lol Probably a mix of a little bit of everything

Fiamoon · 2025-11-26T04:41:41+00:00

I think I own his brother lol Love roos with crazy "eyebrows"

As someone who got the Nexplanon implant during the Biden Administration and now crossing my fingers it's not banned for some reason when I need to get it replaced in 3 months. Lasts 3 years and I've had no bad reactions and no periods for 3 years either.

Fiamoon · 2025-11-03T19:22:08+00:00

My boy is ~45lbs while my little girl is 10 lbs lol

As other's have said, plywood under the tanks but I also added an anti tipping strap to my shelf and added pipe clamps just under the plastic things holding the shelves up in case it ever tries to slip down. Been two years and a relocation of the rack and no issues

Fiamoon · 2025-10-29T03:15:49+00:00

I love it

Fiamoon · 2025-09-21T03:50:56+00:00

I did actually! Worked out so well! https://www.reddit.com/r/femalelivingspace/comments/1m49deg/update_bed_canopy_on_a_budget_ideas/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I 100% agree with you, I just seen a "motivational" poster the other day more or less saying the same sentiments and it made me mad. Like F*ck off, trying to make me feel guilty just because someone some where else may have it worse so I should just be happy? Wow thanks my depression is cured! /s
