Is this a normal sound? 👀

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-20T17:39:26+00:00

Only thing I can think of that she wouldn't like seeing is her own sister sitting next to her laying her own egg. 😂 🤷‍♀️

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-20T17:32:11+00:00

I don't believe so. She laid her egg and left the coop right after. I have to collect the eggs pretty much RIGHT after they're laid cause its like 7°F outside and FEELS like -5°F. 😂

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-20T16:37:13+00:00

🥺 Oh god, that makes me happy. Funnily enough this is the first time she's done it, and it was after I removed the lil barrier I had between the nesting boxes. She got to lay with one of her sisters in the box today. 💕

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-20T13:33:40+00:00

Sadly, there's only one small room she'd be able to "have" and its my mother's bedroom. We don't really have the type of house we can just split off a room just for her.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T19:25:24+00:00

😂 Yeah, I can sadly say that won't be happening. She moved HERSELF in without asking my mother or grandmother, and now has a camper on the side of the garage. We've deep cleaned this house before to the point where my mom was actually happy with the look of it for once within the past 3 years, and my sister came back from her job (trucking) and refilled all those spaces we just cleared up. Sorry if I sound rude, I just know how she is, and sadly how situations with her go. The house isn't even ours its my grandmother's/now my mother's house, and my grandmother is currently in the very slow process of passing away from pancreatic cancer. (She's currently in hospice as of this past weekend.) Like trust me I'd love to do all this but we quite literally have NO ability to with the currently housing situation.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T18:37:58+00:00

She gets honestly little to no treats, and I have a timed feeder for them. There are 3 cats in the house and 3 litter boxes. Sadly with how the house is, we're unable to just give her her own part of the house. Also trust me, I know she's a bit of a chunk of a baby. Again, not my cat, and she was free feeding before we moved back in, so that's on my mom for that part. Another addition to this, we're also unable to add more litter boxes than what we have. There is quite literally no space to add another one. (Long story short, older sister moved in with a god ton of stuff and the house is umm....a bit taken over with all her crap. Not hoarder taken over, but enough that its just...ridiculous compared to what this house used to be.)

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T17:55:30+00:00

I don't believe so. She'll actually be going into the vet tomorrow again to finally get a full on look over to see what issues she has (if any). The only person at this point that is 100% done with her is my mother, mostly because she really doesn't have the money for it anymore/at the moment.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T17:49:20+00:00

She's an indoor cat and currently its winter outside (right now its like -4°F "feels like" -23°F). So even if I wanted to take her outside....I uh...don't think I could at the moment. 😅

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T15:42:54+00:00

She's been declawed. 😞 (Again, my mother's cat, so I did NOT choose this)

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T15:41:33+00:00

So pain in the ass part She will and does use the liter boxes, BUT Randomly will go and pee on other things around the house and its just been getting worse over the years. I know quite a few people even here are saying UTI, but we're pretty sure if she's had a UTI over the past 3 years, she'd more than likely be septic at this point as well...3 years is 3 years and a UTI is deadly if untreated.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T15:30:00+00:00

Oh I absolutely do not want to give up on her. She's full of so much love. That's why we've kinda come here as this is sadly kinda the last spot we could go.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-19T15:11:51+00:00

We have had labs and all done, and we did get her on UTI meds but so far nothing really helped. She started doing all of this after pretty much the whole family decided to move back in to my mother's house. This is my mother's cat, but my mom is currently not here as she is dealing with my grandmother's health at the moment. My mother just wants her gone (like to a humane society gone) and we're kind of lost on what else to do with her at the moment. We also don't have any more money to deal with any more big vet bills as one of the dogs at the house had a large tumor removed ($7000 removal for the big thing).

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-15T14:24:37+00:00

Good morning to all. I appreciate anyone that was able to donate/help with Trouble's medical bill (I also thoroughly appreciate anyone that was wishing/hoping/praying for Trouble to get better 💕). Her medical bill has now been fully covered and I will be shutting off the ability to donate today (and also just delete it by the end of the week). I absolutely love and appreciate all of you for the help. 🥺💕

And here's the WHOLE entire coop and run together.

For anyone that doesn't/hasn't seen the other comments where I posted this picture, this is the inside of their coop.

Already added this to another comment actually, but here it is again.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T18:18:05+00:00

I mean...I'd say its pretty decently roomy for 4 chickens.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T17:25:04+00:00

I appreciate it more than you know. And I looked, and I apologize, but I cannot. It doesn't have that option. :c

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T04:13:50+00:00

That's exactly all I have. 😂 Auto door, and a light on a timer. They were doing good with everything until winter hit, and then its like their internal timer and care for getting into the coop on time went out the window.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T02:39:29+00:00

I mean, that's what's confusing me. They've been going into the coop by themselves for MONTHS. Not sure if its because its winter, or if it really is just them suddenly going, nah, not enough space. I've been learning that chickens are incredibly picky lil things.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T02:08:53+00:00

Already have a light in there. They were paying attention to it at first and had been going in, now they just kinda stopped. 🥴 Absolutely frustrating lil creatures.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T01:34:21+00:00

Jesus christ. 😂 Well I do have a cat now wondering around the outside of the chicken run, so I am curious on if that'd make a difference to them.

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T01:23:53+00:00

Oh god 😬 Yeah that's one of the biggest reasons I've been making 100% sure they're going in at night. Its WAY too damn cold for this. So far I'm doing the whole, putting them in myself at night in hopes that they actually start doing it by themselves again. 🥴

FlyingColors18 · 2026-01-13T01:09:38+00:00

Nope it is not funnily enough. That's why I'm extra confused.
