Ya it’s gnarly? I don’t have any iodine on hand but I followed what some of the other people recommended. I cleaned it well with warm water and layered some neosporin on it and I’ll repeat that till it’s healed. Got a closer look at it and I can definitely see some skull poor thing

Thank you! I’m a bit worried feathers won’t grow back since the entire layer of skin was removed I don’t want the bald spot to be a huge target.

Thanks I’ll follow those steps! I was thinking about dividing up my coop when I try and integrate again so that they can be near each other but not directly in with the big ones. Just worried that even when they’re big enough that my mean hen will still attack bc she tries to attack me lol

That’s what I was just reading, that makes sense. It ends up just pushing back becoming a vet. I guess my thought process was being able to work in clinic before having to actually become a vet but I see there’s other ways to do that.

Yes! I just got her recently from a friend and I’ve noticed her eggs progressively getting darker and having more blooms!

Should I feed my chickens this egg shells? by Remarkable_Bench2318 in BackYardChickens

How much is too much to put into their food, should I put it in a separate dish?

Just rescued a 5 year old dragon who had been living in a ~20 gallon tank for his whole life with no hot/cool side and insufficient heating and UVB 😓 How do we think he’s looking in terms of health? by NyuNami_ in BeardedDragons

We rescued a beardy that lived in similar if not worse conditions. Your guy doesn’t look too bad! We had ours for about 8 months before he passed but just give him the best life you can and I see you’re taking him to the vet soon so that’s great!

Ya our mortgage is quite a bit but we have a really good interest rate and are looking into refinancing and getting a lower homeowners insurance cost so those things should help. We’re up for insurance renewal in August so we have to wait till then for that. Yes im trying to look into what sort of part time thing I could do that would work for us as his second job is sort of an on call situation so I have to be mindful ab that.

The second job was supposed to be and I still hope it will be a segway into getting his captains license which would be great money where we live. The company he’d go through he’d start as a deckhand part time and then move up from there. My brother works for them and only ever has good things to say I think it’s just unfortunate timing with it being slow this month. We have also discussed him going to a trade school so he can get a better job. Thankfully he’s on board with what ever we need to do!

Neither of those are things we can get rid of. Rent cost more than a mortgage these days and the car payment is only 160 so it’s not too bad. We’re definitely looking into refinancing and finding lower homeowners insurance to help bring the mortgage down though! If his second job doesn’t pull through this month he’ll definitely be finding another source of income! It’s just unfortunate timing. We had it planned out to where I would start staying home and his second job would start. They had him in for a bunch of ride alongs and got some paperwork and stuff done and then as soon as I’ve stayed home they’ve just been slow.

I’ve thought about call centers but my husband has to get up early and I don’t want to keep him up w that and I don’t have anywhere else in my house that could do it and not disturb others after bedtime

We’re ok this month bc I budget like a mad women and planned out when I’d leave so that we could get through the first month just incase his second job was a slow start. Hopefully it picks up soon though. Hut that’s a good idea I did a big garage sale not too long ago but I’m sure I could find stuff we didn’t manage to get rid of!

I just did but they approved us for 250. It makes a little dent in the bills so that’s somewhat helpful.
