Chickens are on the same food as before. They were moved into pens for their own safety but eggs are now fragile?

The eggs are literally shattering when being collected when they have no diet change. We had alot more chicken hawks flying around so we got large pens with roofs on them and set them up in there. Is there anything we can do?

Do Pitt mixes need large breed puppy food?

Having to COMPLETELY redo my dog food due to supply issues (can only buy it from one website and my bank blocked it temporarily) I have a brand I KINDA like but not as much I'm gonna switch them to but I can't read the ingredients or nutrition facts on the website anymore. (I know both are good because I've used them before and see them all the time in-store). The food doesn't exactly fit my needs but my oldest pups food no matter what is going to be at least $80 for a 20lb due to his issues. I can't figure out what will actually fit my food requirements for the little oneso I'ma go with the food I'm looking at for now just need to know if I can use regular puppy or need large breed

I guess it's coming from the future? 😅

I have slow feeders coming in the mail and the tracking is... Off? It's 7 am 😭 Searcy has the same time as the rest of Arkansas. I normally buy from chewy Walmart Shipping is not my favorite because of location(orders are almost always delayed). Idk what's happening there.

Does anyone know if these are safe?

Do y'all know if these are safe? They are for my 1 year old. I normally don't like ol Roy AT ALL but having card issues and the card company blocked chewy temporarily. Idk when they will ACTUALLY fix it. they take forever and admitted it was their end. the system suddenly decided after months of using it that it couldn't verify that it was a real company and blocked it. I'd prefer to have a brand on it than the nearby farm stores random ones that have no brand and no plastic wrap.

Probably a dead end but if I ever fully switch is there any raw SIMILAR to this kibble?

It's the only thing that actually HELPED with his vomiting and diarrhea(fuck hills prescription, didn't work and made him miserable). Apparently it's the quinoa and pumpkin in it that help but idk if there's any raw foods with it and don't wanna "unbalance" a premade by adding it(idk if I can sacrifice the quinoa and him still not have tummy issues he's on a probiotic as well). Idk if that's actually a thing people in the other dog food subs say adding anything in large amounts ruins the kibble/recipe. It's been awesome not having any vomiting from my oldest since starting it but I do know there's better things. I have been adding stuff to his food as toppers and he likes alot of stuff! Just Stella frozen beef gives him issues when in large amounts. (Been told by other's it's too rich for most dogs seems to be the case for him)

It’s bad when I see my schedule at 12am and cry.

I love my job. But I'm close to quitting for my own health. I have foot problems. I'm not supposed to be working this much. I'm supposed to have my days spread out. My feet are so swollen and bruised my shoes don't fit anymore. This is 8 days in a roll. I get a 30 minute break way too early in my shift and they ALWAYS force me to stay an hour or two over. I don't get a choice anymore about it. I used to willingly stay when they were giving me 5 hour shifts. They've bumped it to 9 hours scheduled and push me past it without even asking now. I'm so tired. I love my job but they don't give me accommodations for my feet. The scheduling manager who took my health into account left due to family issues and the one remaining DOES NOT CARE. My feet keep turning purple. The entire bottom is bruised and they are swollen. My ankles may give in on themselves any day now. My paychecks are good but I may end up spending a whole paycheck or more on medical stuff if my ankles give out.

are any of these freeze dried options decent for an adult cat?

I'm fighting with my cat acting hungry on his wet food when he won't eat anymore (but is willing to steal OTHER food) so I'm just gonna add him some raw in since it's different and NOT kibble. Are any of these good? Or do y'all know a brand? Trying not to break the bank because the wet food him and the others are on also costs ALOT(I go thru over 100 cans a month).

How to get a cat to eat more wet food?

He's hungry but acts like he's full when the wet food comes out. He's only had wet food since I got him. He's started stealing food that isn't wet food(he stole a whole bean and cheese burrito and ate it while I thought the dog did and was checking the dog bed). He's a BIG cat(11 pounds not overweight) but has only ate a certain amount of wet food. He had issues with carbs on the old food, I helped this abit by only using low carb high protein (getting as much meat in him as possible without grains or extra stuff). Idk if I need to start adding calorie supplements or what because he's refusing to eat more wet but is CLEARLY hungry enough to steal. I may have to find a different food again, he was doing great digestive wise on what he is Eating now.

Does anyone know if these crates are decent?

I'll eventually save up to get two of the expensive ones but rn I need something to keep my pups in while I'm at work. I WAS gonna have a family member puppy sit but they keep trying to butt in where they don't belong and keep giving my older pup things he can't have. Do y'all know if these latches are decent?

It's for a 20lb 1 year old and a baby baby puppy

u/HellHoundsandpurrs — 10 days ago

I have a question

Does anyone know if this is less rich than Stella and chewys beef? I'd like to add more raw but if I overdo the Stella it tends to be too much for my older pup.

Good fish based All life stages dry food?

I feed my cats all wet food but need to TEMPORARILY add dry just for a few weeks. Is there any all life stages or ones with both adult and kitten kinds that y'all recommend? They don't get sick with switches. My only limit is still flexible. I want under $30 for a 4lb. Cat pic Included for tax. It's only to stretch food until I complete a move. Had an unexpected expense that I shouldn't have had. I will put pics of what I'm considering please tell me which if the 3 is good or if you have a recommendation. I have 3 cats but it'll be mixed in so a small bag is fine.

u/HellHoundsandpurrs — 12 days ago

Just looking for a chicken free food to stretch wet food while finishing a move

One cat will only eat fish. I have 2 kittens and one adult hence all life stages. This will be MIXED with their food not as a main diet. All are easy switches and don't get upset stomach with switches. If they like it I may keep it but it's just meant to be temporary

Is it normal for your foot to pop while wearing arch support insoles?

I tear my insoles to shreds quickly(shoes don't last a month) and did NOT want to buy another pair of shoes when the outside was fine so I bought Dr Scholl's adapts to you. They start out with an arch support and you break them in. I stepped down from a step at work and my entire foot popped and burned for hours. Today it's bruised bad enough it hurts to walk. I'm being told it's a good thing it's forcing the arch but I have ENTIRELY flat feet(apparently due to my Achilles tendon not being long enough was what I was told as a kid). They tried to fix it but couldn't. It's the same foot that popped that's acting up. I'm going to try resting it since I don't work for abit.

Age:21AFAB
Height: 4'11
Weight:280(working on it when I can)
Medical issues: IBD (doesn't partake to this) short Achilles tendon

Am I overthinking this?

My vet gave my 6 week old pup nexguard a couple days ago. He's been refusing his dog food since. I put him on a plain diet of turkey and pumpkin. He'll eat that but still won't touch his food. I called they said he's probably still stressed from the visit and it was fine and told me to proceed with the plain diet until he eats his food again. The visit was on Thursday. I called Friday. We don't have emergency vets here but he's still eating! Just not his dog food. My family says I'm overthinking but he's just a 5lb baby. Nexguard is for 8+ weeks and is not even the typical one I use for my animals.

Maybe his system is overloaded due to the food his previous owner was feeding him having no meat and was basically all grains but according to other people he's too young for it to of hurt. He had surgery at the vet on Thursday due to his old owner neglecting him badly causing him to have embedded ticks. (I do not mean latched on I mean deep in the skin)

A bit of a rant

I am tired of hearing that "he should go back to his mother" when it comes to the pup I have. He was LETHARGIC when he was handed to me and I was lied to about his age and only found out today at the vet(I had been suspicious but didn't think it was that low). He was COVERED in embedded ticks which several had to be cut out today. Not latched on. EMBEDDED. I had to listen to my pup squeal until they finally realized they couldn't be pulled out.

That is not even COUNTING the issues from the food she put him on before he was given to me. It is literally nothing but grains and a TINY bit of fat. I did something out of desperation and hard switched him before I could get him to the vet onto the food I had and he immediately felt a little better the next day he's finally moving around like a normal dog. Yes I know he's young but should I REALLY give him back to the person he probably would've died with?

Dental options for puppies?

Is there anything for puppies UNDER 6 months? The vet check up went well but the vet and me both agree his breath STINKS. She said it's likely from the old food he was on causing his gut to be out of wack. His teeth are good so they told me to brush his teeth. I am (bought a oxyfresh dental kit) but I thought I could also give him greenies but it says they have to be over 6 months. He's 6 WEEKS. Idk if the only thing I can do is brush his teeth.
