Those should work as makeshift hutches if we put some hay in them.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
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.

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.
Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
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)
. . . a little.
Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
Are you coming back to the barn, or staying out here? I can give you some busywork, if it would help.
Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
Mmm. If we are not resuming the meeting, there are other tasks I ought attend to, before whenever Rose is meant to come up on our schedule.
If you would like help getting the animals settled, I will provide it first, though.
Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
Only if you want to help. I don't want to take you away from anything else if it's urgent.
Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
Just some check-ins on prior requests from others. It is fine.

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
There were one or two, from when we had no better furniture on hand.

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

Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
Do chicks require nighttime feedings?

Then I can only encourage that state of affairs.

[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)
Very good.
Re: day 39, noonish (during lilybell intermission)
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.
