PSA: Never get between 2 dogs when they are fighting! Speaking from repeat experience.

I had to write this with only one hand because my left arm is swollen and very painful right now. Thankfully I was wearing my thick winter chicken jacket because otherwise I would be in the ER getting stitches instead of a nasty bruise.

I’m hoping I’ll still be able to stream tomorrow, and I’ll explain more about this situation then. Thankfully it’s nothing serious and I’m going to be alright, and my dogs will be fine as well.

Keep yourself safe, keep your animals safe, and remember the best way to stay safe is by avoiding putting yourself in danger to begin with. If danger is unavoidable then you need to learn how to deal with the consequences safely and keep your calm under pressure.

Ok, I have to get back to the work I was so rudely interrupted from, bye now 😘

I just had my best livestream ever today! Thanks to everyone who joined in and a huge thanks to Joseph Johnson for his support and all the people who got a gifted membership!

This was an experimental stream, so I had no expectations for it, but it single handedly broke all my records for all past livestreams! You always have to try new things because you never know what’s gonna work better than anything you’ve ever done before!

I’m going to build on this momentum and try to edit a short tonight (members get early access to new videos 😉) So hopefully that does well too!

All that aside now, I have a full barrel of feed and the hens were so happy to get some beautifully fresh ground feed, and the geese were happy to have a nice pond this afternoon. The weather is great right now so all the birds are doing amazing!

Also my eye infection still stings a lot, but I should recover lol, I’ve been through worse and I’m treating it so it should heal soon!

That’s all for now, have a great rest of your day!

When one hen intrudes on another in the layboxes, one of two things happens. If one hen is more dominant, it will kick the less dominant hen out of the box, but if both hens are of a similar dominance on the pecking order, they avoid fighting and lay together instead!

Here’s some flock news and also I’m going LIVE for the next 4 days after today!

The vets prescribed some antibiotic pills because my flock has caught an infectious bacteria, and now I have to feed all 20 chickens their meds 3 times a day for 5 days! That’s 300 pills to swallow! I’ll be live streaming it every morning to make the mundane process more fun.

This bacterial disease is what Elvis passed from and likely what’s causing a drop in eggs right now, so it will be great to cure it!

Also, after brooding for a month and being kicked out of the nest every single day to keep her healthy peanut has finally given up brooding on her own! I still have some videos from when she was broody that I’ll upload EVENTUALLY. . .

That’s my little update for today, hope you’re all having a great day! Bye!

Ooh, somebodies been plucking out their belly feathers in the nest box! I think this means one of my hens wants to go broody!

I don’t think they are peanuts feathers, so we may get a new brooder this spring.

Calling all viewers! I want to make shorts featuring YOUR animals and ranking them! Details below!
L
If you want me to feature your pets, head over to my YouTube “community” tab on a mobile device and send photos of your animals there. Alternately you can join my community discord linked in my channel page and submit pet photos there as well. Please read the rules and follow them to be eligible.

Rules:
- Give the name of your animal if possible. Details like breed are optional but helpful.
- These must be your own photos, they cannot be owned by someone else.
- They can be photos of pets, livestock, or wild animals.
- Photos of a family member’s or friend’s animals must have that persons permission to be shared.
- Make sure to label your photos as a submission for a video so I know which to use.
- When you submit a photo for this you, you acknowledge you have given me the rights to show it online and modify the photo in any way.

If your photos don’t follow these guidelines then I will not use them. Submitting a photo doesn’t mean it will be used, and I will not be shouting out channels or mentioning peoples names in the shorts for legal reasons.

Sorry for all the legal jargon, I’m just wanting to set the story straight and prevent any potential liability that could result from doing this.

This will just a trial run to start, but if people enjoy it enough, then I’ll probably try a few more in the future. I’m still trying to figure out my groove when it comes to content creation, so I’m trying to experiment to see what things people enjoy and what’s I can make sustainably long term. My hope is I can make a nice variety of content that people can enjoy.

Hope you’ve all had a great day today!
I’ve been dealing with a cold for a few days but I’ve finally been feeling well enough to start editing a little bit again, and after sundown I was watching the Aurora out tonight. It’s rare to see such a big one so I was excited.
