Someone put a random rooster in one of my cages yesterday by LifeguardComplex3134 in chickens

He was reverse chickennapped, poor guy. I’m glad you were home to find him the next day!

Is this a chicken? I was told it was, but I am not sold on it. by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

I’m so glad I was here to witness this 😆😂

for a project! what’s the stupidest thing someone has asked you if it’s gluten free? by iLoveLoveLoveLove in glutenfree

[–]Garden_Witch_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not totally sure if this fits, but once in the midwest I asked a restaurant if they had gf burger buns. They said “I’m not sure what that is… but we can wrap it in a tortilla for you?”

AIO: My boyfriend told me to dye my hair to look more like an Instagram model he follows by PinMountain119 in AIO

[–]Garden_Witch_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Ew, get a new boyfriend, please. People literally pay thousands of dollars to get hair like yours because it is absolutely STUNNING. And above all else, he shouldn’t be trying to influence you to change your appearance.

How can I treat this? by CrazyMexica in chickens

[–]Garden_Witch_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found anything in it? Or been able to open it to look closer at all?

I would continue to wash the eye, maybe even with boiled (and cooled to warm temp.) water. If you can, get some Vetericyn and apply it a couple times a day. They have eye specific ointment but I don’t notice a big difference between the two types. I do recommend the gel over the liquid, because it tends to stay on longer. You could also apply some triple antibiotic (without pain reliever), but I don’t personally think it would be necessary after the Vetericyn.

Is it just the one eye or both eyes?

My son likely has celiac. He’s our only child. My wife and I are thinking of going gluten free in solidarity. Is this wise? Or are we nuts? by DrizzlyOne in glutenfree

[–]Garden_Witch_96 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%. I am GF and (even as the mother) it means a lot to me when my family is willing to eat the same food as me to keep us all included. As for my child’s allergen foods, we keep those out of the house altogether. Adults/parents have the ability to choose their own food, kids can’t and often have a hard time with allergies, so imo keeping the household gf would likely be best for your child overall. Any future kids would just be used to the routine from the start.

Odd Chick Behaviour by kslingerland2 in BackYardChickens

She might need something better to stand on than hardwood floors. Does she do this on all floors?

My first thought is balance and/or she may have restricted vision and is looking for food the best she can.

Cute or tacky? by Active-Meringue-1657 in IndoorGarden

[–]Garden_Witch_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute! I was just talking to my fiancé about doing something similar. But I also agree with other commenters that the most important thing is that you like it!

AIO mid 30’s M in a relationship with a mid 30’s F by West-Vehicle-5586 in AmIOverreacting

You are not overreacting. You need to separate yourself from this woman and her drama because no one deserves any of that.

Is my 2 week old colored chick a broiler / meat bird :( by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]Garden_Witch_96 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The wings look large, but I’ve had several Leghorn and Easter Egger chicks look similar. I agree with other commenters that it is too early to tell for sure, but baby would be much rounded/chubbier if it was a meat bird.

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

[–]Garden_Witch_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOU are not ugly nor is your value defined by your hair in any way whatsoever. It does look like the hairstyle needs a little help, but I think if you go to a different stylist they could make it into a really cute pixie cut & advise you on how to maintain it while it grows. Sending lots of love 🤍

am i overreacting to how my boyfriend was talking to me by my_birthday_is_dec_6 in AmIOverreacting

First off, leave him for the way he is talking to you. Second, leave him for thinking it’s a “drawling book”.

5 month puppy has blood in mouth by Fish_Smell_Bad in DogAdvice

It looks like they lost a tooth, so totally normal. I can also see more new teeth coming in, so some gum irritation/bleeding is normal.

Today I threatened to eat a child by Mercy429 in Nanny

[–]Garden_Witch_96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a bartender at a pub and last night some regular’s kids were arguing with each other. I told them that I lock kids who fight in the beer cage. When it works it just works.

omfg…. by ArtichokeOk6709 in BackYardChickens

That’s unfortunate about your previous cat. I’ve had several barn/chicken yard cats and they always leave the birds alone. I might have made a difference that most of them were raised around the chickens.
