The Chickens Are Staying Warm Tonight! Also, I Checked To Make Sure It Wasn't Getting Hot In There, And

Seth from Day Shift 2022. Anyone else think he's a cutie? I mean he's a total nervous wreck, he's got glasses, and a man bag. He's a total dork! So cute!

So unfortunately my dog killed one of my hens today. It was my Easter egger. Her body was mostly untouched but her head and neck were gone. I didn't want her to go to waste so I boiled and plucked her and she's in the freezer.

She laid one last egg before she got killed so it's in the incubator. I've ordered some more eggs and I'm expecting them to come in around Feb 1st. So we'll see if her last egg hatches. Curry also laid today so I've got her egg with the other so they'll hatch at the same time.🤞 it'll be about 21 days till the first eggs hatch but I'll keep yall posted.

Teriyaki hatched her first baby today! 6 more to go!

Oreo and Franny have their winter coats on. Franny has a thicker short coat compared to Oreo's longer thinner coat.

This is about 3 years' worth of Oreo's wool that I brush off him each spring. Franny doesn't usually let me brush her, so she just rubs it off herself.

She's tuckered out.

Who else is southern but likes to use "big words" when your talking mixed with the normal slang? My parents find it strange I guess. Because they've mentioned it before.

“When space poachers release Earth animals on an alien world, threatening a fragile new alliance, they anger the wrong people. A veterinarian, an accountant, and a furious sign-language-fluent gorilla are coming for them.”

Robin enjoys being one of the only humans around: an exotic outsider, strange and tall, with no shell and only two arms. Consulting for locals who want to keep Earth pets is a fine job. But when a swarm of rabbits invade town and humanity is blamed, everything unravels.

If Robin wants to save the alliance between two planets — and keep from getting sent home in disgrace — she has to prove that a powerful crime ring is behind the crisis. Luckily for her, she makes friends who are eager to help: from planetside, from the nearby space station, and recently escaped from the poacher’s ship.

Those poachers may be bug aliens with an excellent range of vision, but they won’t see this coming.

Img ID: the cover of the sci-fi novel “A Swift Kick to the Thorax.” It features a veterinarian’s prescription pad floating in space, with the title written in the prescription area. A pen floats behind it and a chunk has been bitten out of the pad.

Available everywhere! With many short stories to go with it, here on the good ol’ hellsite. And there’s plenty more where those came from!

Decided to sketch a quick group of birds.
