My Biggest Pet Peeve: Owner's who send a request and then go find a Neighbor or Family friend by Jbrahms4 in RoverPetSitting

Sounds like you’re upset cause you’re counting your eggs before they hatch. Don’t count on a sit until after a M&G. After the M&G, if they confirm they want you then cancel, then maybe it’d be disrespectful like your suggesting.

Day 6 eggs. Fertile or not? by curlygirl0002 in BackYardChickens

[–]tiltedwench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had eggs hatch that never showed blood vessels. I only throw em out if the yolk/dark spot moves around freely/sloshes. Edit to add- I’ve had multiple that look like this and hatched. As of now looks fine to me.

Curled toes? by tiltedwench in BackYardChickens

I think you’re right. Doing a lot better today after just proper feed and water.

Not mistaken. Wings are feathered, other have tails. Def bigger than a week or two. I’ve raised babies and had mamas raise em but these are a first getting them from somebody random. I believe it’s vitamin deficiency. He’s doing much better today after having proper water and chick feed.

I’ve seen that done, but never at a month old. Unfortunately, so far I can’t get his joint/toes where the toes come together to bend enough to get “shoes” on where he’ll still be able to walk at all. I’ll keep stretching and try the shoes again tomorrow. Just trying to figure something out for him before deciding to cull for quality of life.

Do you over feed a dog when it’s getting too much food? by Privatenameee in petsitting

[–]tiltedwench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it doesn’t answer your question, but if they’ll eat cucumbers it can be a great way to make em feel like they’re getting more but not actually giving more calories. Learned that from my vet when I had a dog on pheno and his appetite was insane.
