I heard you like chicken photos

So here is Miss Luci Bird doing her thing (avoiding the roosters)

And here's the Only Nesting Box Ever No There Are Not Five Others Only This One.

That appears to be Duchess (Speckled Sussex), Lovely (stripes), and... Raven (black banty), I think. Sapphire is also in this box but wasn't visible on this side. She's behind Duchess.

There's not a lot of intelligence in this coop.

I LOVE ALL OF THEM

Little Brown Makes Progress

This morning when I checked on Little Brown, the first eGg HaD HaTChed. There was one damp chick underneath her. I didn't check the other eggs to see if they were pipped, just replace her very quickly. Whatever is going on under there is up to her. But.

Chick!

It is pretty aggravating that I have to leave mid-morning just when this is getting interesting, but the trip is a highly anticipated one.

Moving my breeder frillbacks over to their own loft this weekend and decided to try out this style of perch for the first time. They have wood ones as well, so I guess we'll see which they decide to use!

I think none of the F1 drivers should be allowed to cut their hair after the summer break actually

Limu, what do you think you're doing in the nest box at bedtime? Girl! You are 7 and a half months old, you are not allowed to be broody!

She was not happy to be relocated to the roost tonight.

OLDER BUDDIE FIC OH MY GOD

That’s the one from this post (with an opening scene here) but to summarize; outsider pov of a new recruit learning about Captain Buck Diaz’s legendary rivalry with another station’s Captain Diaz but uh oh oops wuh oh I got my angsty little hands all over it and got too attached to the probational firefighter I made up and gave her family drama. She grew up in Boron, California (Buck is enthusiastic when he learns this and starts spouting facts about the town [Named after the element! Second largest source of boric acid in the world!] and she’s like how in the fuck did you know that and he claps her on the back and says I think I’ve probably read about half of Wikipedia at this point in my life) and her dad was a firefighter there, she was going to UCLA to get a chemical engineering degree to work in one of the refineries or other industry in her town that’s sprouted from the mines, but when she gets word that her dad died she drops out to become a firefighter. She also grew up gay in a small town and could never get femininity to sit right on her but god she tried so hard, and it was fine when it was this open secret but when she actually came out to her dad he did not accept her. I picked Boron because I googled “town furthest away from hospital California” asdfgsdfg he had a heart attack and the firefighters got to him in time but they couldnt get him to the hospital fast enough. Anyway now at the 118 she talks about him like he’s still alive and leaves him voicemails about LA and the team and everything, and Buck has started calling her John, which is a nickname her dad called her when she was little, and she cuts her hair short and has a bit of a gender crisis as she slowly accepts herself as butch and more comfortable presenting masculine, and Buck is just so happy and supportive and eventually she breaks down and admits her father is dead and she’s following in his footsteps and it breaks her heart that he wouldn’t be proud of her he never wanted her to be a firefighter he didn’t think it was a girls job but she loved him so much and he loved her so much and god now shes weeping in the back of the engine and Buck is very gentle about it all (you KNOW he’s been telling Eddie all about this kid, you KNOW he calls home after this like Eddie is it legal to adopt a full adult. How mad would you be if I brought a probie home) and then we wouldn’t even see Eddie till the end of the fic where they all work the same scene and John is like shit the rivalry are they gonna fight?? There’s certainly some kind of energy between them… and then Eddie gets his shoulder dislocated and Buck is calm and professional getting him out of the building but but as soon as a paramedic has popped it back in they collapse into each other a little and theres some tasteful kissing and like imagine both of them with gray in their hair and really good at their jobs after doing them so long and still so in love and bantering with each other… John is flabbergasted and Buck is like literally if you accepted my invitation to the family barbecues you would have found out about all this much sooner

I've been doing crayon doodles lately since I've been far too busy to draw in my usual style. Though, it gives me a chance to do worldbuilding with little scenes like this.

Is anyone thinking of sending Alex Lyon to the Pens? Because I'm pretty sure I could arrange for postage....
