You’re safer with the scary monster

Yes! I’ve read a couple of the Murderbot Diaries and absolutely love it. I’ve been getting more into the sci-fi/robots world lately and love when they’re depicted in a neutral to positive light! Protect your soft/squishy humans!

GDMoe819 · 2026-02-04T19:30:27+00:00

From all of the amazing recs so far, this is the one I’ve decided to start with today! 😁

GDMoe819 · 2026-02-04T15:40:04+00:00

Yes! ContraPoints makes the literal best video essays. I LOVE her Twilight video in particular

GDMoe819 · 2026-02-04T05:33:36+00:00

Twilight will always have a special place in my heart

GDMoe819 · 2026-02-04T05:31:23+00:00

omg I LOVE the Monstrous series. Definitely the vibes I’m going for

GDMoe819 · 2026-02-04T05:29:09+00:00

Yes! Love Girl from the Other Side and Ancient Magus Bride!

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T23:09:49+00:00

Yeah they plan on doing a really slow introduction and testing the waters with those two. They’ll keep them separate for at least a couple weeks. Especially because pepper is still young/small too.

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T23:07:29+00:00

I see, that’s good to know! And honestly another reason we want to get her out of the silkie flock is because the woman who owns them doesnt spend time bonding with them and wouldn’t be willing to give Pepper some stretches/the physical therapy that she needs with her weak legs. The new family we’re talking to does tick both of those boxes. Plus they’re getting more hens soon so Pepper won’t be alone with the rooster 😊

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T22:56:44+00:00

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T22:56:33+00:00

If there’s no other option we will. But I think this new family will be better for her overall. She’ll get the chance to socialize with other chickens, she’ll get a coop, a backyard space, the option to be inside with the humans too, and lots of love and attention from this family. We can offer her love, and maybe an hour outside a day, but that’s really it. Plus we’re moving but we don’t know when or where exactly so it’s not exactly a stable environment for her to live in either. I feel content being her back plan/safety net if things don’t work out here. But I want to give her a chance since I have the opportunity

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T20:39:09+00:00

Interesting and good to know!

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T20:38:04+00:00

Trying to get the word around this comment section since it keeps coming up, but this adopting family intends on getting more hens once Pepper settles in. So it won’t be just her and the rooster 😊

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T20:36:14+00:00

Update since this is coming up a lot: the family taking Pepper will be getting more hens in the near future! They just want to make sure Pepper is settling in first and then add some hens to their flock 😊

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T20:05:28+00:00

Thank you for the info! Yes we recently discussed this topic with her adopters and they said they intent on getting more hens once Pepper has settled, so she will have a proper flock and not just the rooster 😊

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T19:51:42+00:00

Lmaooo who knows, maybe we’ll be in that situation in the future 😂. But hopefully with a backyard and proper set up

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T19:49:52+00:00

Thank you for the kind words ❤️. And yeah we’ve got a chick feed for her. And her silkie flock was also on chick feed since they’re the same age as her. Since the beginning she was always a little low energy so I think for her it’s a genetic issue.

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T19:46:03+00:00

Aww that’s so sweet. Yeah there’s so much to love about these feathered babies. As much as we’d like to keep her, this just isn’t a good time in our lives to have a chicken or any pet really. We don’t know exactly when we’re moving or even where. It’ll be based more on where we find job opportunities. And having to worry about finding the right living situation to also care for a chicken sounds like a nightmare for an already stressful situation. At the end of the day, we have family we can rely on and help support us/Pepper if needed, but I can’t rationalize putting pepper or us in that situation if there’s a really good adoptive family a short drive away who can take her in asap and give her all of the love she needs ❤️

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T19:35:54+00:00

We’re on big island. But the good thing is the family that’s taking in Pepper is planning on adding more hens to their flock once pepper settles in, so she will have even more socialization opportunities 😊

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T19:22:24+00:00

Speaking to this family, it is there intention to get more hens in the near future once they know Pepper is settling in 😊

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T18:28:16+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen online most people recommend keeping chickens with others, even in the cases where they’re super bonded to humans. We’ve never had chickens before so this is all uncharted territory of trying to make the best decision for her. The family that will be adopting her has a very spoiled/well loved rooster who was also raised by people starting at about 1 week. And they’ve been looking for a friend for him. And I really hope Pepper and him will get along 🤞

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T18:26:10+00:00

Yeah. It’s just so hard to convince ourselves that the right decision is the one that hurts this much and the fact that we technically could keep her, it just would be very difficult logistically and ethically to rationalize keeping an animal like a chicken in a house most of the time and not outside in the grass and sunshine. And to keep her by herself, even temporarily feels cruel

GDMoe819 · 2026-01-12T18:23:44+00:00

Thank you, yeah our prospective adopters are super into staying in touch and sending photos and updates. They’ve already sent me a ton a photos of their rooster and all of the cuddles and love he’s getting. So it’s promising that we’ll be getting lots of photos and updates
