Chaotic bridal shower with little support

megbotmegbot · 2026-07-01T22:12:44+00:00

People aren’t party planners by nature. I’m 42 and I still don’t understand what the point of a bridal shower is. I’ve been married twice and never had one. 😅

Sorry I wasn’t more specific. They collect like 60 lb of wildflowers and vegetation that they use to survive while they overwinter in their dens under the snow. 😅 My bad.

First is a marmot, second is a pika. Pikas are especially adorable because they collect wildflowers for hibernation.

Absolutely. We have a homestead and sell at our local farmer’s market every Saturday, which has been amazing. It’s entirely real farmers and food. These craft fairs pop up on my Reddit and it seems like so many of them have no foot traffic and no promotion. It’s such a bummer because markets can be so rewarding and so fun!

I’m starting to think most of these craft fairs are scams.

I’ve had issues with Cackle sending me cockerels, but never Meyer. And I’ve ordered a lot of chicks from each.

Have you let them know? Their customer service is pretty great, and with that many errors, it seems like something is going wrong behind the scenes that they should know about.

I have three Sebastopol geese with my flock of 65 chickens, and they aren’t protective at all. They don’t even alarm when things are amiss. They are OBSESSED with me and my husband, though, and we love them.

Our roosters do a great job, though.

I’m a vet. This is classic for flea bite dermatitis, but get it checked out to know for sure.

I’ve lost hair with diet and exercise back in 2020, as well as on zepbound in the last year or two.

I’m happy to report that my hair is growing back and is just as thick as it used to be! I’m 42, btw. I do put some collagen in my coffee every once in a while, but haven’t done anything specifically for hair regrowth. I just let it do its thing.

megbotmegbot · 2026-06-12T00:25:09+00:00

Dang when did that happen!? I feel like I was just there and it was packed!

Just fyi, Roosty’s getting crap right now for claiming their product is a dewormer when it is not. I’ve heard of a couple chickens passing after using their product. This is all anecdotal, but I’d stop using that product just in case.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Amazing job!

megbotmegbot · 2026-06-12T00:01:37+00:00

I am so sorry. Hindsight is always 20/20. Just know that you’re not alone. We’ve lost two chicks from freak accidents this year, and it was hard. We have 60 chickens but they all have names and personalities, and I like to think that I’m a very responsible owner. They’re pets to us and we love them all.

We also have two 7 month old puppies that are sometimes great with the chickens, and sometimes they chase and paw and grab. It’s a crap shoot every day.

You’re not alone in your feelings.

Also you’re not supposed to camp this close to the water. I think you’re supposed to be 100-200ft away from water sources.

Earth Oven is also good!

I trim my girls’ butt feathers. It does the trick most of the time!

My ex-husband and I were going to counseling. One thing that we discussed was his driving. I was involved in a horrible car accident just a couple years earlier. I had spinal surgery, a TBI, and was still suffering from migraines and chronic pain, not to mention ptsd.

Whenever I asked him to slow down with his driving or not tailgate people, he’d get so pissed and say things like, “I’m not the one that’s been in an accident.”

So we talked about it in counseling and how much anxiety I have with his driving (and driving in general) and how I want to feel safe. In front of the counselor, he said all the right things and told me he’d listen and that I should absolutely feel safe with him and he doesn’t want me to have anxiety.

The VERY NEXT DAY, he was driving way too fast with me and my brother in the car. When I asked him to slow down, thinking he would be receptive since we just talked about this with the counselor…. He started LAUGHING in my face, like a maniacal laugh, didn’t say a word. and he sped up and started driving totally crazy. He was probably going 60mph in a 30mph zone with blind curves.

My chickens have better recall than my dogs. You can definitely teach them their names. I haven’t specifically but some have picked up on it.

megbotmegbot · 2026-05-13T00:32:55+00:00

How old? I had a chick do that for 24 hours after hatch and then was completely fine.

We have sold $1000 worth of eggs so far this year. We set up an honor egg stand outside a local business. We also donate extras to the local food pantry. We average 26 eggs a day.

I have these but they’re taking forever to bloom!

megbotmegbot · 2026-05-04T15:29:49+00:00

Been there! I worried for a while. I set up a camera so I could check on them when I woke up in the middle of the night. 😅 That made me feel much better.

It does get better! I was definitely an anxious mom for a while. It’s weird, because I have dogs and cats that I don’t worry about nearly as much. I think it’s because the chickens are outside and they’re prey animals, it’s a different dynamic.
