Image 1 — Are these tiny little cockerel wings? Much smaller than the rest of the flock’s feather development so far. Too soon to tell?

My Sapphire Gem chick with tiny wings vs my Buff Plymouth chick w lots more feathers and tail feather development. Most of the chicks look similar to ole yellow over here, minus this Sapphire Gem. First time chicken owner, learning a lot!

This is just out of curiosity- not allowed to have roosters here but I’d keep him until someone from the town knocks on my door lol

Update: duckling is officially at the rehab/rescue!

Positive ID as Merganser. I’ll miss this little feathered friend 🥹. They said it was good that we found it, it should NOT have been alone yet. Sometimes they swim off while being ‘babysat’ by a different mama but they usually have other friends with it and a Hen close nearby. Thank you guys for your ID help for how to care for him before he got into more well-trained hands!

Orphaned duckling going to rescue tmrw. Curious on what kind

Found this guy abandoned on our property. Waited around for a day, no mama or sibling ducklings.
We just got chicks so had a brooder set up and food until we bring to the rescue tomorrow. Now it’s cozy and has eaten some mealworms. Any ideas on ID though? Initially thought wood duck but facial striping doesn’t match.

Multiple conversations overlapping in the same room enrage me

Ever since I was a kid, I’d get so frustrated about this. Loud family dinners where there are 2-3 conversations happening at the same time, multiple people talking, I can’t do it. If I try to follow one conversation or someone’s trying to talk to me I just feel so overwhelmed and start getting angry. No I don’t lash out or act rudely, and I understand that people aren’t doing anything wrong, they’re just talking. What bothers me is that it doesn’t seem to bother anyone else. I’ve been able to deal with this anyways growing up, adult now. It annoys me greatly still but like if I’m choosing to go to a busy environment I know that’s gonna be a feat and I suck it up.

However, had a family dinners yesterday, my 3 yo at the table was getting really irritated and covered his ears. I knew exactly what was wrong. Sat w him a while, went to go walk w him and he was immediately relieved. Asked why he was upset, he told me it was ‘too many louds’. I get it lol.

Could this be some sort of genetic sensory thing?
I’m not autistic, kiddo doesn’t show any signs either. I do have ADHD though.
Other than conversations like that, I do have some things that have always made me ultra-uncomfortable: velvet, chalk/baby powder on my hands. Sometimes other things don’t bother me at all but sometimes the hair on the back of my neck will be too distracting and annoying and I’ll have to put my hair up and if I don’t have a pony it’ll feel like the end of the world lol. Or sometimes my jeans will be super uncomfortable and all I can think about is getting home and changed into something without buttons or seams. Not to be cozy but to not feel like that’s all I can focus on lol. If I get an unexpected texture while I’m eating something I usually cannot finish my meal,
ruined.

And on the flip-side with the noise, I do NOT like headphones or ear plugs. I dont like seemingly hearing the blood rushing around my head or my swallows or heartbeat, super uncomfortable. And an environment too quiet I just feel ultra-aware of the noises I’m making when I’m moving around or doing something and that bothers me. But like, outside, cup of coffee, birds chirping, wind chimes, that’s peaceful.

Anything similar or noteworthy?
