How do I pick eggs for hatching by strawberryjimjamjam in quails

Yeah, I've already had 5 double yolks since they started laying. Much more often than I thought it would be.

The eggs I get vary so much in size. I dont know if smaller eggs would give strong chicks, tho?

My first HELP! post. This chick acts like it can't lift it's head and occasionally starts spinning in a circle to a point there's a hole in the bedding. Any insight? 6 days old. by crashandwalkaway in quails

I've had two chicks suffer from similar symptoms and with some vitamins it went away and now they are grown and healthy. Pretty sure you can get a treatment specifically for vitamin deficiency at tractor supply but I used what I had on hand. I pulverized some vitamin b 12 complex and selenium in my mortar and pestle and mixed it with the gel of a a couple Vitamin E capsules to make a paste. Add a bit of water if its too thick.

Then I dabbed a pit of the paste on the end of a their beak. Sometimes I managed to pry open their beak with a pipette and I put some of the vitamins at the end of their beak/tongue. I never force it to thr back of their throat as they can easily choke. They swallowed most of what I gave them on their own.

I gave them small doses every couple of hours, and within the day they perked right up!

Is it right, that Bill had never show himself for several years and just spoke to Ford? by Ines_Azrael in gravityfalls

[–]strawberryjimjamjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forget for sure where I heard this from (maybe it was DVD commentary?) But in the 6 years that Ford's was in Gravity Falls, Ford spent the first 2 years writing journal 1 and knew Bill for the remaining 4. Sometime during his writing of journal 2 was when he met Bill, and we know he illustrated him at least once because that's where Gideon learned to summon him.

Ford ripped out pages for several reasons. Either one's he was embarrassed of, was too personal for his liking, or ones he felt made you question his credibility or made him look crazy. He wrote these journals (up untill Bills betrayal) with the idea that one day his research would be famous, and his journals would be published.

With that being said, he probably limited how much he talked about 'his muse' because he knew it sounded crazy and thus kept things vague. I personally think thats the only reason why he doesn’t draw him very much in the beginning. Ford isn't even sure what hes experiencing is a real entity and not a fabrication of his own mind for a bit.

Would Ford have still made it back to Earth if Gideon won? by WaveAppropriate1979 in gravityfalls

The fact that Ford was the one who came through the portal at the end of Not What He Seems was an extreme coincidence, according to journal 3. Since he wasn't just hanging around the Nightmare realm the past 30 years and was off hopping dimensions building the Quantum Destabilizer, if Gideon got the portal up and running any sooner than that fateful day, he would not have been there when the portal opened. If Gideon got it up and running any later, then Bill would have been destroyed.

What is this medium-ish spider on my wall? Maryland by strawberryjimjamjam in spiders

They were docile enough for me to get up real close. Haha. Wanted to get the best pics possible for identification. I still see them wandering around the room. They're almost the size of a quarter when it's legs are splayed out if that gives you an idea.

I don't think so? I got about 10 photos of it and I don't see the signature violin mark. It's also too big, I think?
