Opossum I only held the little guys once, this was one of the photos I took at that time. They're still here, now I'm hard boiling eggs for them and giving them mealworms. Mostly I don't bug them and let them do their thing without my intruding. #virginiaopossum #virginiaopossumbabies #opossumsofinstagram #babies https://www.instagram.com/p/CPFJk-fnZJk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jack's opinion of income taxes I'd created neat piles of receipts and bills so I could get caught up, and file my taxes. I mailed everything a few days ago, then returned home to this nightmare created by Jack Jack, who apparently is not keen on tidy piles of paper. #catsofinstagram #catswillbecats #jack #filingnightmare https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6XnOeH25a/?igshid=wixzbe0llx6v

Jadot and I showing off different sized eggs from around the farm. It was supposed to be just me but what fun is that? In my hand are a goose egg, and a bantam chicken egg. Above my thumb a duck egg, above that a polish chicken egg then a peahen egg, a turkey egg (they're normally speckled), and a green chicken egg. #eggs #gooseisashe #cathelp #eggsofinstagram #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1sudgHsjG/?igshid=elho1jw55e6i

Bendy Baby Oppossum Luckily, these babies go to my friend Laura tomorrow or I'd be carrying them around and ruin their chances of a full oppossum life. #cute #babies #possumsofinstagram #oppossumsofinstagram ##oppossum https://www.instagram.com/p/COwEU_fnSqB/?igshid=11gd3srnaqio1

Fledgling Pigeon Apparently I don't have enough birds My neighbor Bill sent me this fledgling pigeon who crash landed at his place. Pretty thing. Hope we can release it soon back into the hood. #pigeonsofinstagram #crashlanding #pretty #birds https://www.instagram.com/p/COo9XpjnOcs/?igshid=171ccpyg50u98

People often ask if a red mark like this means the eggs is fertilized and developing. The answer is no. This is a called a checked egg, birds can be clumsy, and the hen here likely had a hard landing, leaving a tiny blood spot in the egg. But both of these yolks ARE fertilized. If you look closely, there's a small white spot on both, called a "bullseye" which shows that the egg is fertilized. These were from cracked eggs, so they're going to the dogs breakfast (in case you're curious what the rest is). #eggsofinstagram #eggs #fertilization #checkedeggs #chicken #dogsdinner https://www.instagram.com/p/COYr1YBH0Ns/?igshid=nxs81odkz9t

Duck eggs Bigger, richer, larger yolks than chicken eggs. Duck eggs are delicious! #duck #ducksofinstagram #duckeggs https://www.instagram.com/p/COYqzRjH0yJ/?igshid=1vscjgz28ys0w

When the feral cat, Whino, showed up last summer our youngest cat, Jack, was displaced, and moved out into the utility room. It's taken months but Jack's slowly taken his place back in the house. Last night, he slept on my bed for the first time. It was a surprise to me that when Whino showed up later, Jack growled, but stayed put, and it was Whino who dutifully moved to the foot of the bed, where he remains. Good going Jackie. https://www.instagram.com/p/CODT00bnhbF/?igshid=iong9mk6jwfi

Duckling 1 Had two test eggs in the incubator. Both hatched! I snuck them under a hen who is setting duck eggs. She took them last night but pecked one this afternoon and drew blood, so now they're in the chick pen instead. Super cute little guys. #ducklings # cute https://www.instagram.com/p/COBpy3nHre_/?igshid=17u1ka8k3b2ln

Relaxing with a broken foot. The funny thing was how mouthy this duck is, but I somehow caught her a dozen times, each time with her mouth shut, lol. #pekin #pekinducksofinstagram #mouthy #brokenfoot #ouch #hen #relaxing https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbcVa6nrwq/?igshid=1vw97d1a6toxq
