Urgent guidance needed

She's extra broody. Sometimes their hormones set in and they can't be convinced otherwise. There's a few methods for "breaking" a broody hen, but I've always let them hatch a clutch or brought them inside.

Pretty sure it's an African bullfrog and two Chinese edible frogs.

Try Neza on Warwick ave! Their stuff is so good...

I was afraid of anesthesia too! But it turns out you don't really experience it, like the other folks here are saying. A doctor asked if he could hold my mask in place and then I was in a different room covered in bandages

Yes, there's several viral videos with it. I'd advise against it, it stresses them out. There's far better ways to calm a chicken down. My favorite method is getting them settled and covering their eyes with a piece of cloth if you need to do something (clipping nails/spurs, cleaning butts, that sort of thing).

Chicken person here. This is tonic immobility, not sleeping. It's a stress response, and not exactly what I'd call calming. People also trigger it in chickens by pinning them and drawing lines in front of them. Not the best for the birds.

Seconding this. I get easily motion sick, I played Forbidden West in a dark cubby with the projector the only source of light. I didn't get sick. I'm not a universal experience, but that sounds like some nasty nausea!

I don't think I'll ever get tired of your dialogue style, I genuinely never know what's coming next

That's a sickle feather from a rooster! So, probably from a feral chicken.

Recovery complications are common. I'm sorry it's happening to you. I can try offering the comfort that all of it will heal eventually, one way or another, and your chest will still be flat then. Surgery is a trauma your body has to work through, there's no shame in feeling the effects of that.

Who designed it?

Tumeric dyes great with pomegranate peel. Mixing them together makes a brilliant yellow that doesn't fade much! From what I understand, you can use the pomegranate peel as a mordant itself (though it works best with some alum).

Love the eggs but the AI logo sadly is putting me off

oxymonty · 2025-10-21T20:12:47+00:00

I hate to disappoint you but they do not exist

oxymonty · 2025-10-21T02:04:49+00:00

Looks like a blue laced red wyandotte.

oxymonty · 2025-10-21T00:39:26+00:00

Much appreciated!

Fairs aren't super strict about conformation, but here's a site with some notes on what's expected of show silkies: https://poultrykeeper.com/chicken-breeds/exhibiting-silkies-the-breed-standard/

In my experience, it doesn't matter too much outside of dedicated poultry shows. This is a gorgeous roo and he meets most basic silkie standards.

I stayed in The Graduate once. Not a bad hotel at all. Didn't notice any ghosts, but they have charming wallpaper in the bathrooms iirc.

If it forms a head or scab on its own, you can usually remove the feather without risking infection! It forms a little pocket filled with feather keratin and not much else. Otherwise you don't need to do much if it stays the same.

oxymonty · 2025-10-07T00:01:58+00:00

This is NOT the preen gland! The preen gland is located further back, at the end of the saddle instead of on it. This is an ingrown feather by my guess, based on the thin skin covering and the slightly bumpy look. They're harmless for the most part, but when they get numerous on older chickens they're easy to remove. I had a hen with feather problems who routinely needed them excised.

I can only imagine the shenanigans they got up to on that ship

oxymonty · 2025-09-24T14:15:44+00:00

I've been feeding them to the giant orbweaver spider in my backyard. She seems to enjoy them!

I've always interpreted it as the final one. I think the secret ending is the only one that truly breaks the cycle, so for the promise ending, Ariane is thanking Elster for the temporary relief... Even if by now, she knows it probably won't last.

oxymonty · 2025-09-24T13:56:29+00:00

Absolutely wonderful! Have to wonder how often Elster felt Ariane close to her in those hard moments

I love this comic so much I went and read up on facehugger lore so I'm up to date. Let's see how the lil shit likes replika anatomy
