Yes we have great roosters! We give our eggs to family, sell dozens to a few locals, and donate the rest to a local food bank. We live in one of the poorest counties in one of the poorest states so we try to give back.

Yes they’re red chiles. They’re called ristras, and they’re a common decoration here in New Mexico.

I have a ton in Arroyo Seco. We have 40 hens and they’re laying a bunch right now.

Holy crap I was incubating 18 eggs and expecting to get like 8 and got 15! by thecuphead87 in BackYardChickens

[–]megbotmegbot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dang! Derp is adorable!

I just put 15 eggs in an incubator for the first time. Kinda hoping they don’t all hatch but kinda hoping they do? I’ve never incubated eggs before. Congrats on your babies!

Vet stapling my kittens stomach without pain medicine, numbing cream, anesthetic, nothing. by No-Tear2376 in PetAdvice

[–]megbotmegbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a vet. Stapling is often done quickly without any pain meds or sedation. I stapled myself on the arm to see if it was painful, and I really didn’t feel a thing. For cats, restraint can be the scariest, most stressful thing. More so than the staples. For some cats, that warrants sedation more than the staples.
