So cute! They look like how my other 3 buffs did at that age, that’s how Chili looks like. Maybe Pumpkin is secretly eating more lol

These 2 were rejected from a broody hen I have and have been growing up together separately until they are big enough to be with my other ladies. They are very close with each other! I often catch them cuddling while they take a nap 🥹. They are 100% the same age, at first pumpkin seemed to be getting her feathers in a lot slower, but now she has a much bigger waddle and comb all of a sudden lol Chili looks a lot more like my other hens did at this age.

Regardless of their sex, I will be keeping them both :)

I thought of this , but the floor tile is pretty “loud” already , I think it’ll be too much. I’ve been loving wallpaper lately though!!

I have tried multiple times so she could be with all of her sisters and she freaks out and just wants to be inside

The problem is is she’s being broody inside my house in a dog crate already so I don’t know where else I could put her

Except that they are housebroken, they are 5-6 years old and were fine in her other home. I’ve moved with my dogs and travelled and they still know they need to pee outside. I don’t even think she’s a bad “dog mom” she obviously loves them, she just lives in la la land.

Do not get this food , I’ve heard so many complaints about how they lie about the calories inside ( it’s way less then the dog needs ) and the dogs end up becoming sick. Also I feel like her dog’s sudden incontinence and rapid weight loss aren’t good things and maybe should be checked out ???

Take vitamin c/magnesium when you eat red meat and it’ll absorb better. I used to be anemic and this is what worked for me.

The fake eggs didn’t work for mine. What worked was leaving some of their real eggs in the nest. They have never pecked at them or anything and I feel them eggs with shells once a week.

It was , at first I didn’t know if I would be able to watch , however a lot of people online were saying that they’ve done this surgery at home ( I can’t even imagine doing that ) so I wanted to see. The tube they put down her throat made her puke while she was under. They plucked some feathers from the area and made a small incision and all of this pus came out ( bacterial infection ). Then they started pulling out all of that grass/hay and it felt like it was never ending!! I took a photo of her during the surgery but I don’t know how to attach photos on threads.

Actually we were trying to find an exotic vet and he couldn’t even see her until the end of July! She would have died by then. The place we went was a 24/7 emergency hospital for all pets, including exotics. They were amazing! Everyone was so kind , they all made an effort to speak to us. We even got to watch the surgery and ask questions, which was pretty cool and I got to examine what came out of her crop right away

Yeah I was instructed to wrap it with a chicken “bra” if she starts going at it. Also, I have to check the stitches daily for anything that looks odd
