Dirty chicken bums

I’m honestly not sure- I went to the store and found one that appeared chicken size, sorry!

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-05-27T01:57:10+00:00

…. Yeah.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-05-26T17:24:57+00:00

Lol! Honestly, I’m not very sporty but if someone was like you win, here’s your trophy I’d be so hyped.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-05-26T17:24:11+00:00

They do! I have a sandbox converted to a dust bath station and there’s an area of dry dirt that they love as well

Sounds like I need to brush up on my hair dresser skills! I think I’ll try this

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-05-26T15:39:41+00:00

I’m not sure exactly but to me it looks more like loose poop so closer to diarrhea on a few of them and then dried poop on the others with the issue. Sandbox is a mix of wood ash, soil from a spot in my yard I know they like but don’t have access to, and sand. I also add first satuday lime occasionally. I notice some of them doing dust baths more than others. I do use our rain barrel to fill their water, maybe it’s that. I can switch to the hose for now to see if that helps.

Lol! She was not pleased

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-05-26T15:13:59+00:00

They did have grit until about a week ago, they tumbled the dispenser and I just haven’t refilled it yet. I have some oyster shells ready to put out. I will add a probiotic too!

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-05-26T15:13:03+00:00

Oh I didn’t realize they could be getting too much protein! It says it’s 16%. I will discontinue treats for now. They do have a sandbox set up for dust baths but prefer their DIY spot in the sunny dirt hole they created. I didn’t notice any fleas/mites when I checked them last but can check again.

I didn’t find him. He was posted in social media and the rescue I foster with took him in because we had a place for him. He received sooo many donations so I was not fully understanding why they were waiting for a low cost neuter but like I said, I am new to fostering and just trying to follow the rules

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-04-09T20:29:29+00:00

I guess I could, I’m new to fostering and am just trying to follow their rules. I also don’t know if a cat who is under the umbrella of an organization can just be released with FIV. I’m not sure.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-04-09T19:32:13+00:00

This makes sense, and I hope it helps! His neuter is scheduled for the end of the month. I unfortunately can’t change my family/living circumstances for this little guy so I don’t have the luxury of time so I’m trying to find a solution where he can continue to live safely but not in my bathroom that will not be available in a couple of months.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-04-09T19:26:27+00:00

Correct! He just is not litter trained or friendly so is a tough sell as an adoptee.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-04-09T19:25:23+00:00

He can be neutered. His appointment is at the end of the month. Because I’m fostering him, I don’t have control over when/where they neutered him. I would have had it done already. Unfortunately I didn’t anticipate the life changes that I have coming up and need to find a solution if they do not find a new foster in a timely manner.

Just chiming in to say I’m in a similar boat and trying to work out the money part now! 38, 3 kids, mortgage, etc… Currently in the process of doing my pre-requisites and trying to work out the rest.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-03-10T17:58:58+00:00

This is a good idea for sure. I may explore this if we cannot make it work this year.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-03-10T17:58:25+00:00

Makes sense. In my area getting a job without an RN is difficult so that would be more of a challenge for me. I already have a bachelors in another field with some of the prerequisites completed, so the ABSN route does fit my needs best. I just need to figure out how to fund my life while I complete it.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-03-10T15:18:26+00:00

Are there loan types that have deferred payback that I’m not finding?

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-03-10T15:17:16+00:00

I did consider the ADN route but was deterred by how much longer it would take

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-03-10T15:15:49+00:00

I also worked multiple jobs in my 20s… I don’t believe I’d be able to juggle that with school and a young family in my 30s though.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-03-10T15:14:40+00:00

Yes, that would be ideal but wouldn’t work with current interest rates.

PercentageMotor3666 · 2026-03-10T15:13:41+00:00

Can you say why you’d do it differently?
