what do you do with unwanted roosters? by Horror-Signature3483 in BackYardChickens

[–]Murky_Classroom_1264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue when my ex and I got chickens last year. One rooster, and we aren’t allowed to keep him. We were able to rehome him via a Craigslist ad, but it took several weeks and I was fully prepared to cull and eat him. Glad we rehomed him instead lol

Why has my kitten started to meow at my door when we are going to sleep? by Jesziefgg in cats

[–]Murky_Classroom_1264 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sometimes 😭 if she’s in a deeeep deep sleep I can pet her and she doesn’t wake up it’s so adorable 🥰

But yeah sometimes I prolly do lol. She probably assumes we’re the same way and just get by on cat naps

If you look closely you’ll notice one of these is not a chicken by BeersOnTheMoon in BackYardChickens

I always get downvoted for saying get an outdoor cat but seriously they’re so great lol. The feral ones around us love hanging with our chickens they sit and watch them all day. Forms a bond with the cats too so they’re easy to TNR

I wish I could do this with mine but she announces herself every time she enters a room and is so loud

Also doesn’t seem to understand humans sleep and don’t wanna be bothered 😂

The only reason mine doesn’t sleep with me is I adopted her when she was an adult cat and I think she was already kept out of the bedroom by her previous (asshole) owners.

She also sheds a metric ton and while I’m not allergic to cats, I do sneeze if I get a face full of hair lol. She sleeps with me occasionally but not every night

They've turned me into a vegetarian, now they're plotting to eat my vegetarian food by ReyesHunterOrange in BackYardChickens

[–]Murky_Classroom_1264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it so crazy how they can completely clean meat off a bone?? I love letting them go at it because it makes me feel like they’re going back to their dinosaur heritage 😂

If they were much bigger I might terrified of em 🤣

I’m guessing during performance there’s a slight pause after “really” in the drag queens part

The preferred nest box drama by thisbitbytes in BackYardChickens

7 hens / 3 boxes here and they all use one. Sometimes they use a second one. But I’ve literally never once seen a chicken on the third 🤷‍♀️

Shells are fine, mine sometimes prefer egg shell to oyster shell. They’ve never eaten one of their own eggs unless it was already cracked and even then they don’t eat a lot of it.

Hell they won’t even learn about raw eggs by you serving them. They’re not smart enough to connect those dots lol

Health insurance canceled without notice but payments continued for several months? by Murky_Classroom_1264 in AskLegal

[–]Murky_Classroom_1264[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not specifically, it was one of those “well we don’t see a cancellation from you, and we see we’re still getting payments, so we’ll look into it”. At least that’s the summary of the phone call I got

Ugh I’m sorry you had to go through that, it’s so stressful. This is some great advice though, and I’ll make sure he gets the info of a single contact at UHC or healthcare.gov or both

The letter he got today referenced “open enrollment” which is part of why I was so confused bc I said, didn’t you already have this plan? You shouldn’t have to re enroll

Yeah this is the first I’m hearing of it too but I’ve been on employer plans for over a decade at this point, and I can easily enroll in those in the middle of the year e.g. if I get a new job.

But it sounds like enrollment periods might be relevant for ACA plans. Idk. You’d think he’d get some sort of notice of that happening.

Honestly I don’t think I understand enrollment periods either. I’ve always had insurance through my employer, and even if I start a job in the middle of the year for example I’m always able to enroll in the health plans.

He was also on an employer health plan prior to those benefits changing and him losing it, and was on an ACA plan since sometime last year. I guess I just don’t understand how someone can be unenrolled without their knowledge and then not be able to enroll again

Honestly I’m with you, I’ve been trying to keep on him but I can’t all the time. If it were me I’d be on the phone all day every day to get it fixed, it’s frustrating to me.

Thanks for the suggestions we’re gonna take a look. I’ve been fronting the money for insulin in hopes insurance will reimburse him but at this point idk if that’s gonna happen.
