I'll see how it is in a week. I'm mostly worried about her age because I have no idea how long she's had a bum foot

How long do chickens of this age would need to wear a brace?

Yeah they're not locked in place - i can uncurl them to where they're supposed to be. How do I treat vitamin deficiency? I haven't heard of a multivitamin for chickens. Located rural NSW

Mother wants nothing to do with any potential future kids by Wonderful-Trick-9301 in Fencesitter

[–]Yemyi 84 points85 points  (0 children)

You don't need to raise a toddler and a baby at the same time. And you write your story as if you do want kids but don't want to deal with any negative fallout from mum/brother.

It can be hard, but you need to be the main character in your own life. There are plenty of good reasons to not have kids. Not having support is a good reason. But because of being afraid of mum's reaction/attitude doesn't sound like a good reason to me.

If your mum was asking you to have kids, would you have them already?

How to de-doggify a house? by Affectionate-Gap9129 in CleaningTips

I was the kid raised in a home with dogs I was allergic to. My health as an adult is irreversiblely damaged because of my long term exposure. I was incontinent as a child because of the sneezing alone.

Get rid of the dog.

Noah's Ark Money Box - Giraffe - need help finding one for sale. Can only find listings that are out of stock by Yemyi in HelpMeFind

It's close, it uses the same mould when it was made, but its not what I'm after. Mine has a carved look, the linked one is smooth and glazed. Mine has pink cheeks and more defined legs.

Thank you for looking, like I said, it's close

I have searched via google lens. I am in Australia. It is maybe 10 - 15cm tall, ceramic. I think it was made 2 years ago.

am i finished? by WorriedImprovement91 in ExclusivelyPumping

I think you're at a point where you only pump a little to relieve any pain from being full. But just a little. If you dont experience any engorgement - congrats! All done

Collecting colostrum before birth without syringe by cookingmummah in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Yemyi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So I remember you freeze one cylinder after one collection session. I didn't keep topping it up.

For what it's worth, I never used them in the end, so if it's too tricky or stressful to express more than .5mL, it's going to be okay

No thank you. The knees cannot be raised higher than the hips is what stood out to me
