does anyone here keep hens+cocks/know abt eggs bc i realized i'm extreeemely ignorant abt chickens and eggs actually and have Questions:

1. fertilized eggs: does it take a while for the chicken to start developing in the egg? it feels like yes obviously it takes a while and there's a window where the eggs are just like normal eggs, but nature is weird so i'm not gonna assume anything

2. if you have a bunch of eggs and only some are successfully fertilized and a hen sit on them, do you need to discard the failed eggs before they rot or will the hen push away/eat them on her own? like, how hands on do you have to be in that process?

3. free space (it just looked stupid having only two questions *shrug*)

"Wherever they appear (or reappear), the presence of wolves makes an impact, but not just symbolically or politically. Wolves are a keystone species that play a vital role in and bring balance to ecosystems.

For example, the now-famous 1995 reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park led to a surprising number of positive impacts for ecosystems in the region. Without their primary predator, elk had overgrazed much of the park. The resulting loss of vegetation negatively impacted populations of mice and rabbits, as well as the animals that prey on them. Songbirds found fewer available nest sites.

Even bears were impacted as the elk out-competed them for the berries they relied on. In riparian areas throughout the park, the absence of wolves had even more drastic impacts. Overgrazing in riparian areas led to erosion and stream sedimentation and a reduction of the abundance of beavers, fish, insects, birds, and river otters, compromising the health of entire aquatic systems. With wolves back in the mix, the ecosystem rebounded."

For folks who haven’t had the stomach to keep up with the specifics of what’s been happening in Palestine (which is understandable and what’s important is that folks keep up with the broad strokes, so no shame), it’s much much much worse than any of us could possibly have imagined.

I’m not going to post the specifics here unless there’s a link to add as an intermediary for folks who don’t want to read those specifics, but it’s Holocaust levels of bad. It’s what we would have seen in Vietnam, Iraq, Germany, etc, if social media was invented a century earlier.

I’ve avoided looking head on at most of the photos but just the descriptions are making me feel really ill.

Also as usual, I am a Jew, and I feel fully confident in the Holocaust comparisons I make. I mean them with all the weight that this carries.

And what’s more is that, like the previous events I’m referencing, people are still goading and mocking posts about dead people including children. It’s just on a global public platform now.

Cladonia polycarpoides

Thatched peg lichen

Cladonias are referred to as fruticose (shrub-like lichens), but most have a squamulose (scale-like) basal thallus, and some like C. polycarpoides don't always grow the podetial stalks that make them look shrubby, making lichen classification just a little more confusing for all of us. C. polycarpoides has a squamulose basal thallus made up of large (10 mm long), prominent lobules growing in extensive, dense mats on soil and soil pockets on boulders. The upper surface of the squamulose is olive green to brown, and the lower surface is white. The secondary thallus, aka the podetial stalks, are subcylindrical, and have a corticate (bark-like) and fissured surface. They are sparingly branched at the tips, and topped with convex, brown apothecia growing in tight aggregations. C. polycarpoides can be found in temperate regions of North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
