grit! back left, teasel. back right, laurel. front left, mallow or nettle. front right, olive.

laurel scratching!

"What are you looking at? I grow fast so my feathers don't come in like everychick else's!"

Kiba, Pepper, and Natasha watching the chickens from inside the house. The cats were meowing so much!

When we first put the chickens in the pen, they didn't know what to do! Dahlia was like, whaat?

The chicks during a water break! In the front is Olive the Golden Comet, to the right of her is Nettle the Golden Comet. Across from Nettle is Iris, and behind her is Ivy, both Cornish Rocks. The black blob behind the water is Laurel the Australorp, and in the way back is Lotus the Easter Egger.

Lotus watching my phone warily...

The new brooder, finished!

Hello from Mallow!

Nettle's back. She is the lightest of the Golden Comets.

Olive is the most well-colored of the GCs.

Teasel is the darkest and the smallest of the GCs.

Mallow is in the middle of the GCs. I used to get her mixed up with Nettle, but Nettle is lighter now, with a very pale beak and a shorter tail. Mallow's tail is long and pretty and her chest is brown with a white stripe in the middle!

All of the GCs. Teasel is at the very top, the far left is Olive, the furthest right withe the long tail is Mallow, and the lightest one is Nettle.

Pepper and Natasha on the cat tree. Natasha was sleeping!

Dipper and Mabel.

Laurel napping on my leg.

Pretty Pepper.

My dad's employee found me what seems to be a dog skull, from an old dog. The dog is on the right, a coyote on the left.

The teeth look like they fell out and bone grew over it.

Side view.

Pepper basking in the sun!

Fallen tree and forest, we did a lab in Geology where we pretty much hiked through a forest next to campus and looked for the marked trees.

Teasel!

Thank you weather for the frizzy hair. Hello Olive!

I gave the chickens some worms today and man THEY WENT NUTS. Hit was hilarious and adorable.

Curious Goldens. Pretty sure that is Mallow in the front.

Pepper came in the bathroom last night and laid on her back until I pet her belly.

"Thank you for your service, human slave. But I still require belly-pets."

Curious Teasel.

Dahlia's beak is so curved looking.

Mallow!

Mabel.

Dipper.

Pep's eyes.

here, time to post some update pictures! wow... i didn't realize that i haven't replied in so long oh gosh

let's start with older news

it turned out dahlia was a rooster, just like rose... rose's name was changed to roan.

we got three silkies, willow is the silver one, gracey is the black one, lily (now albedo) is the white one

i went comiccon with my friend kd and bought film strips from iron man 3!

nicholas brendon from buffy is behind us in this pic!

did'ya know silkies have 5 toes? (this is willow)

we took dahlia and roan back to the farm... my mom and i cried a heck of a lot :c

for dahlia, we got a barred rock hen, named berzillia.. lotus picked on her when we got her.. still kinda does but not as bad.

for roan we got an isa brown. we took her back cause she was hella mean

just a pretty pic of tash <3

silas always eats his food like this

i tried egg blowing with a store bought egg so i could do it to my chickens' eggs.. it went well!

lotus gets prettier and prettier

berzi is a cool chicken. i'm grateful to have gotten her

pepper is psycho in case you were wondering

we had the meat chickens processed and we ate one (ivy, the first one) and she was really good (they are a breed that can not live healthily cause they get so fat- for any new viewers) they were a gift to us. iris, the second pic, is still in the freezer.

myself and all my pelts. this is what i wrote on the instagram post:

For new followers- please know that I aiming to be a Taxidermist, so I do post Taxidermy pictures at times (as it says on my profile) such as this one of my pelts and I. I do refrain from posting any bloody/gorey ones (though there aren't really any), so you do not have to worry about that... but know this, I love animals and am all for animal welfare... but I also support hunting, population control, and humane fur farming. I have done my research over many years and would not support it if I found it unethical. There will always be good and bad people, so yes, there are people that treat animals bad- but that also includes the possibility of animals being treated bad before becoming your dinner or something else. Taxidermy is no worse than a meal at McDonalds, a leather sofa, leather interior of a car, or anything else (virtually everything) that has animal parts. Taxidermy just has a face still- and I prefer it that way. I mostly love taxidermy for the preservation of the animal and their beauty and memory. I do feel a connection with these animals, otherwise I would not keep them. I have either purchased them from good sources, gotten them in trades, 'rescued' them from becoming something lesser, or purchased them secondhand. Let me tell you a bit about each of them. Also, know that animals are NOT skinned alive. I have skinned roadkill and trust me, it's hard enough skinning them when they're not attacking! Those animal rights videos are staged by cruel extremist groups like PETA. Also, all of my pelts I own are completely legal.

Let's start with the pelts in the back, left to right. Claudio, the male opossum was received in a trade with one of my best friends. Opossums are in abundance amd mostly known as pest animals who do require population control. Codie, the male white-nosed coatimundi came from eBay, from the guy's Uncle. He's a coati from Arizona and only 1-2 can be hunted/trapped by a person, and I do believe it is for population contol (these buggers are like raccoons). The next is Nuka, the platinum/whitemark ranched red fox (I got him as plat but the line on the back of his neck is not a plat marking), I got him in a trade with Zhon on Deviantart, so, secondhand. I do not know where she purchased him, but his nice fur leans towards a reliable fur farm. The next is Vitani, the female Arctic Marble ranched red fox. She was my first pelt and she was purchased from a local fur-seller/trapper. He traps/skins his own animals, but she is from a fur farm so she was most likely purchased from a larger company and thus saved from becoming a fur coat for fashion (I prefer useful fur coats that keep you warm). The next is Russet, a male red coyote- a color that occurs naturally in the wild. He was on eBay for quite a while- relisted about 5 times, before I decided to rescue him from limbo! I reshaped his face and ears and he looks a lot better now. After him is Bracken, a gray coyote that I purchased off of Hide and Fur. He was most likely trapped for population control and will be mounted by me soon. Now, the one on me, on your left, is Sorrel, the Alaskan Lynx. She was trapped by a well-known and very nice man who truly cares for the animals he traps/hunts. Then, last but definitely not least, is my huge Yukon Wolf, Cinder. She is longer than I am tall and she is absolutely gorgeous. She was purchased from Hide and Fur and definitely seems like she had been quite an old wolf.

I met a rare breed of dog! The Sharplaninac They're from Serbia/Macedonia and are similar to the Ovcharka, without the aggressive tendencies. They are very good guard dogs, especially with sheep and the like but can also be family dogs. They don't take crap, they can kill a wolf if it threatens their flock! But they pin and look to you for direction, not attack/bite/kill right away. Check them out, they are super cool! She's ONLY 8 weeks old and the woman who had her has a 180lb male named Diesel that she is going to breed her to. I am going to definitely keep in touch with Mary
