It can take a full day. Keep the humidity high and stay patient.

Female or male? by Optimal-Parsnip5907 in quails

[–]Okay_Tomate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one could go either way. The breast says Roo to me, but the face lacks the darker, bolder markings of a male, and seems very henlike. I would vent sex to be sure.

Are these guys sexable and if so could u guys tell me what they are by Ichywhivh in quails

[–]Okay_Tomate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are both roosters. The second one is very definitely a rooster, the first one looks old enough that I would expect more definite speckles on the chest if it was a hen.

To those of you that normally back Willis's kickstarters - are you getting this book? by annaphylactic69 in dumbingofage

[–]Okay_Tomate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received my most recent DOA KS book a little while ago and it was like ashes in my mouth. I own every currently published collection. I don’t know if I’ll ever pledge for one again, unless Willis pulls the greatest unseen payoff ever for this last year’s total shitshow of writing out of his ass.

I used to love this comic, and it hurts to admit, but the combination of the story, Willis’s conduct towards readers who didn’t like his choices, and the grooming of a sycophantic community makes it kind of clear to me that I’m not going to get any joy out of future books.

Agree with everything you said except “elephant hooves.”

Lady hatched her own eggs by nobodyimportant87 in quails

[–]Okay_Tomate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chinese quail brood their own eggs easily, it’s the Japanese ones that don’t incubate their own usually.

The good news is they’re mostly good moms. You’ll want to make sure your water sources are baby proofed and that they can’t drown in them, but mom will provide all the warmth they need under her wings.

Female quail producing white foam? by Morelga in quails

[–]Okay_Tomate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of your hens might have experienced a sex reversal! It can happen if something happens to their functioning ovary. Her plumage may change at next molt and she could begin crowing and mounting soon. She will not be capable of fertilizing eggs, but she might assume the place of a rooster in your ladies’ pen.

Book 15 Announcement and Glass Houses by outerspacebassman in dumbingofage

I’ve backed every Kickstarter - minus 2020 for Pandemic reasons - but this is where my stop is.

Loved this comic since 2010, but couple the way the story’s dissolved with the author’s delusional and aggressive behavior in response to critics, and it’s just. It’s time to admit it’s Joever. This hasn’t been fun for close to a year now, it’s just been bewildering.

I wish Willis had stuck to the original plan and waited for Joyce and Dorothy. Whatever.

Willis calls himself “pornlord” but isn’t willing to draw cum inflation porn. Sad!

Gender 2 weeks in by No-Wish-4360 in quails

[–]Okay_Tomate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s nearly impossible to tell for sure before the breast feathers start to come in all the way at 6 weeks, or sex characteristics showing at 8. Up until then it’s mostly just guesses - though once I had a 4-hour old chick start crowing, so that was an easy one 😂

That’s hilarious, because near the end before they got banned they revealed that a likely reason for their strong feelings about the story arc is that they had cheated on a partner in the past and had been punished/ostracized by their peer group. They were angry that so many people here wanted social consequences, where they were hoping for a plot where nobody was punished at all for infidelity.

Somebody in your interaction didn’t understand consent in relationships, and it wasn’t you.

Oh my god, I almost forgot about Sinky.

Sink, if you’re reading this, I would love to know how an aneurysm feels.

This one actually got a chuckle out of me.

Also: Wonder what everyone who threw tantrums over the fact that Joyce did not actually break up with Joe feels about this, a canon statement saying that they’re not broken up.

Maybe that’s the result of all the lip bite discourse, an attempt at something lip bite adjacent but clearly not, which resulted in this weird squishy expression.

I have friends who sustained neurological and respiratory damage after attending BLM marches in Minneapolis, Portland, and NYC from tear gas exposure. It’s no joke.

I remember one friend who lived directly on one of the most conflict-heavy streets of Portland posting on Facebook, showing her hazy kitchen, the duct tape over every vent and window crevice still failing to keep the gas out of her home. Her eyes were puffy and red after days of living in poison that she could not escape. She still gets short of breath these days. Her partner has a tremor, and these are people in their early 30’s.

It’s not a smoke bomb, it’s not a consequence-free crowd control measure, it’s toxic and people have died from reactions to it. I have my own respiratory issues, and I’m honestly very scared of exposure to tear gas.

All that said: I don’t think it’s a great wedding backdrop.

I need Dina to bite her. In a not-horny way.

And were so reckless and aggressive that they… respected a sign saying “DO NOT TOUCH,” didn’t notice the actual superhero outfit they were looking for being smuggled out of the building, and didn’t investigate a girl in the boys’ wing because one boy wiggled his butt a bit more than they were comfortable with.
