MEGA broody chicken. I have removed her from nest 15 times. I have locked her out of nest 10+ times for several hours at a time. Her broodiness has even become a menace for the other chickens, because they refuse to lay if they cannot access her laying spot, leaving them heavy with egg, but no place to lay. I established a broody-jail. Now the chicken is isolated. Chicken knocks over water within two minutes, every time I give it water. It's summer. Just die of thirst then. How much longer do I need to keep it in broody-jail? Pic unrelated.
I have removed her from broody-jail. She pecks at the ground. Perhaps she is cured of temporary psychosis.
>>5142303NEVERMIND, chicken was sitting on eggs again moments later, just started chucking the eggs at her and splattering them on the ground. EAT SHIT CHICKEN.
Did you try giving her fake eggs to sit on somewhere else? Mine would stay broody for fucking weeks.
>>5142295Set her in cold water for an hour. Deep enough that she can’t keep it off of her belly by standing.
Previously on /jef/ >>5137757Who is Jefrey (with one F)?He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. Jefrey was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.
it's just me or does Jef look too slim? I thought he was gonna get all fat without his balls
>>5142456That harness isn't just for show, he gets walkies. Also I thought it was leaving the balls intact that makes em super wide like that one cursed looking orange cat, Adam.
>>5142456He was actually getting fat before we cut his balls off, then afterward he slimmed down. It’s usually the opposite. And he’s barely any tamer. I wonder if he’s been pumping roids while we aren’t home.
>>5142458>he’s barely any tamerDidn't you get it done relatively late? Maybe that's why?
>>5141825shoey is a danger to society
How come horses are girly animals meant just to be liked by girls?
>>5142252I've heard of women obliterating their vagina using sawzall dildo attachments, so this isn't out of the question.
>>5140451trvkehorses are useless now so people only own them as a hobby
>>5142384post proof
>>5140451virgin post lol
>>5142484no, he’s gay. 4chan is disproportionately gay. like elon musk, jd vance and peter thiel are all “i want to be an anime girl” gay. autism gay. irl gays are 2% of the population. on 4chan gays are 40% of the population. “incels” are mostly gay guys who dont want to be gay and are mad that women can smell their homosex and that they cant get the ultra hot women they can barely get hard to

>>5142435Silken windhound's are pretty cool and cute. They also live a lot longer than borzoi as well.
>>5142471They are super cool, but they're super difficult to get here in Germany. Also they're really tiny imo.Hope I can train the borzoi nevertheless.
>>5142470That's desensitization/socialization. You definitely need to do it, but I've never raised a puppy so I can't tell you how to do it properly.
>>5142473:[ They're 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a zoi. If you get a zoi you should definitely post it either way.If you get a puppy and start early with the right kind of training you could probably do it.>>5142455Down is very useful, stay, relax/place, and I use a "hold still" command all the time when I need to do inspections or grooming stuff.
>>5142476thank you, I will attempt to teach them just that. I will also brush his teeth daily. I am a dentist and it annoys the shit out of me when parents say that they "can't brush their precious baby's teeth" and then I will show them that I can brush my zoi's teeth and they will be embarassed. What kind of usual treatments are done at the vet? I have seen ultrasound and general mouth and paw inspections? >>5142474I will take that puppy everywhere I can and get him desensitised to everything. I hope.

>>5141654>>5141710for anons who are curious, i taste tested a bunch of common gecko feeder insects (dubias, hornworms, superworms, banded crickets, etc.) and they literally all just taste like watery dirt regardless of gut loading. no wonder thirdie street vendors douse them in spices there is basically zero taste otherwise. the only crazy one was superworms, idk if it was just mine but they had a weird "refreshing chemical" taste like a mix of laundry detergent and cucumbers.
>>5142181my condolences
>>5142255Reptiles are possibly sensitive to different flavors than humans so it's possible they taste better for them. Not for my gecko tho he prefers mangoes.
>>5142285sure i just did it out of curiosity even though different receptors etc. also i tried some pinkie mouse and it's just a big blood ball like you'd expect in other predictable news
>>5142386>i tried some pinkie mousedamn, you really did your research

>>5142380>Huskies have a lot in common with cats, actually.So they're selfish little retards that people like purely for superficial reasons? Gotcha.
>>5142393No. She's a retard.>>5142361Huskies were made to run, like, a hundred miles a day or some shit. If they can't get that energy out, they misbehave. It's like having an extremely active kid and you're a shit parent who can't channel that energy somewhere productive or structured; it's almost guaranteed that kid will start doing some fucked up, energetic shit. Like climbing in top of a fucking Five Belowt. dad to a high energy soon-to-be 9-year-old we got into climbing and swim from a young age who climbed into the roof of a strip mall Five Below last yearWe tried ball sports when he was just old enough to play peewee soccer but he hated standing around and playing positions; he just wanted to run after a ball. Of course, he couldn't quite verbalize why he disliked it but it was obvious: he loved kicking the ball around with me or the neighbor kids but it playing a game with literal goals just wasn't his thing. So we started him with climbing. Then he climbed the fucking Five Below so we started him swimming, too.
>>5142429>he hated standing around and playing positions; he just wanted to run after a ball. Of course, he couldn't quite verbalize why he disliked it but it was obvious: he loved kicking the ball around with me or the neighbor kids but it playing a game with literal goals just wasn't his thingYou need to get this kid some self control immediately. Its going to be set at this level for the rest of his life.
>>5142393You mean they’re actually intelligent and not bred down into a drooling obedience machine? Yes. Cats are thoughtful, self aware, and independent. Most dogs only know how to obey. A cats companionship is valid. A dog’s is entirely fake and meaningless. Most dogs just fear and obey their owners because they’re too beta to say no.

Wait a minute, why the fuck did they choose Eryops as the "doomed Carboniferous amphibian" when it MADE IT to the Permian? Actually, most of the cast made it at least the early Permian. Only Meganeura and Dendromaia didn't.

Our Guy Timur has had some challenges recently. He likes red pandas and kitties. So I am posting these red panda webms I have been meaning to make in hopes he will see them if he stops through. He has been drifting away from our usual space, so before he is gone to greener pastures, I thought I would make these for him to let him know he is appreciated.Timur is a great person. He adopts and takes care of homeless, injured and aging kitties and spends time to make cat toys and treats and donates the funds to help a cat shelter, among his many other qualities like being infinitely kind, loving patient and smart. Be well, Timur.
An actual new one.

What makes lake Baikal so "alien"?Studying it, i get the feeling the place is a mix of an ocean and a lake, but also completely unique.The Baikal sponge, for example, biggest fresh water sponge, also bigger than most salt water one, grows like moss on stones, has a symbiotic relationship with algae and can survive being frozen for long periods of time.
Could Pale Foxes actually be aliens in disguise? Feel free to speculate in this thread about posting and posting about foxes.An example of a verified Earth fox can be found in >>5127939.

>>5137243Yes. I've seen footage.
>>5135552Nah they are usually called Warris and they are absolute assholes.
>>5135588>Females lay lots of HUGE eggsHot
>>5135588>doesn't need a ton of space (a large backyard is good enough)That's contradictory, anon. Also, are they social birds like chickens? Cause if so, you probably need to keep more than just one for it to be happy.
