[slows his steps so Charon can catch up, quietly falling into step next to him on the walk back]

[havin a normal one]

What accomodations do you need for the egg, before and after hatching?

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

Before hatching I'd like to keep it in a warm nest, which is easy enough to make. After hatching I'd like to have a decently-sized bird cage for it, until it can fly around on its own and won't attack anyone. I think it'd be fine on the barn roof most of the time, but like with the bunnies, I want to have a safe spot for it inside.

If we can create beds and lamps through herd mentality, we can create a cage easily.

Do chicks require nighttime feedings?

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

It's been a while since I've worked with baby birds...

[scrunches his nose up a lil as he searches his memory]

Baby chicks that haven't opened their eyes need to feed every three or four hours, I think. And once they open their eyes it's every...four to five hours? I'll have to check. Once they grow in their feathers they can eat two or three meals a day, which is roughly every six hours.

Would you like me to deal with the ones in the wee hours? I would most often be awake, anyway.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

Sure, if you don't mind. I was going to keep them all in my room so the animals don't bother anyone, but should I put the cage somewhere else?

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[endsjustified]

I can take it down with me at night, if you like, as I tend to work in the common room or kitchen.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

That works. If it's too much trouble, though, feel free to let me know. I'm used to keeping that kind of schedule when I need to. I don't mind staying up for a few nights until it gets bigger.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

Be well rested, Lethe.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

I am, don't worry. I get plenty of rest here.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[endsjustified]

[inclines his head]

Then I can only encourage that state of affairs.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

Mmmmmm...

[he did ruin his sleep schedule for about a week there and is trying to get it back to normal,]

Then I'll leave the bird in your care at night and do my best to go to bed on time.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[in this shape he is tall enough to just bonk the soft part of his nose against Lethe's forehead]

Very good.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

[chuckles and gives his nose a little nudge back with a hand]

I don't think you have to worry about me. I'm usually just getting up when you come tell me to make my bed. If anything, I'm worried I'll oversleep.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[endsjustified]

You have not yet, have you?

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

I haven't, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[endsjustified]

I suppose if you ever threaten to, I'll just use the command to tell you to wake up instead.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

[....hmm.]

Do you think that would work? I wonder if you told me to stop feeling tired if I'd stop feeling tired...

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[endsjustified]

If you want to test it, I don't mind.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

[he kind of wants to test it]



...I do want to test it. For science.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[endsjustified]

Tomorrow morning, then.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

I'll be expecting it. Now, show me where those boxes are.

[hops the fence into Lily's meadow]

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[endsjustified]

[normally he would stick to going through the gate even if it meant walking along the fence a little longer to it, but in this shape he kinda just flows over the fence after him]

Where we stored the cots, I think.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)

[mykidisthebest]

Ah. We put it all in the shed.

[sets the bag o' bunnies on the grass so they can sniff the air as he ducks around by the shed to pull out the wooden crates he's looking for and stuff them full of hay]
