EGIKU
Fried Egg Miku 🍳
The chickens are staying warm tonight! Also, I checked to make sure it wasn't getting hot in there, and with outside breezes available, the heatlamps aren't making the coops hot.
I've quit posting for a little while, but I did want to share that my hen Teryaki is once again a momma! (Well, technically, they're her grand babies, but I won't tell her that).
I'm thinking of eventually starting a breeding project and would like to know yalls opinions on body type. Most probably wouldn't even notice much difference.
First off, cubalaya are much heavier/sturdier in body whereas the marans classic dual-purpose body type can fool you as to how much meat they actually have on them. Cubalayas are technically a dual purpose breed but most keep them for show. It's one of the rare breeds and most online breeders only keep the bantam varieties.
Personally I prefer the small comb and almost nonexistent wattles of the cubalayas along with the hens flat back in line with almost level tail.
What I'm looking for in my breeding project is
Color - white pattern red wheaten (finished breed)
Egg color - Speckled brown (not required)
Temperament - Flighty to escape predators
Foraging - excellent foragers
Egg/meat production - at least 3 eggs a week on the low end (most produce at least 4 a week) & good feed to meat ratio.
I realized I haven't really posted much about Teriyaki's babies. Unfortunately, we did lose smore shortly after the last post with him (the dog got him). Hershey recently passed due to illness. Marshmallow and Cookie are doing great, though! The top pic is of them free, ranging in the back yard, and the bottom pic is of them in the front yard. They're gorgeous mutt birds and so far have been having success free ranging during the day. I make sure they come into their coop at night and lock them up.
My poor sweet boy Sampson broke his spur off again. 😥
Not sure if it's the same one as last time. I assume he may have tried to get my other rooster through the fence and got it caught up.
Either that or he did it getting on the roost for the night, but I didn't see any blood on anything else. Couldn't find his missing spur either, and it's a big piece to just up and go missing. They're at least two, maybe two and a half inches long each.
Anyway, I went back inside after putting everyone up and grabbed a new syringe from the medicine cabinet. Filled it with water and grabbed the antibiotic spray from the pet cabinet along with the chickens' vitamin powder to add to their fresh water.
Went back out and rinsed it out good with the syringe. Then, I sprayed it with antibiotics and added a pinch of the vitamins to their water.
Hopefully, he'll heal up well, but I'm liable to keep cleaning it for a few days.
Made this simple recipe I found today. Ham and egg breakfast bowls.
Ingredients
Eggs - one for each muffin mold.
A bit of melted butter
Circle slice ham or turkey
Veggies of your choice
Cheese of your choice
Salt & pepper or other seasonings
------------
Instructions
With melted butter grease muffin tin and place deli meat inside to make a bowl shape.
Add a pinch of cheese on ham, then add an egg to each bowl.
Next add veggies more cheese and seasonings.
Preheat oven to 400°F or aprox 204°C.
Once heated, place tin in oven and cook for 15 min, occasionally checking to make sure the egg isn't overcooked or the cheese burned. It's alright if the ham looks a little extra crispy 😉.
Once cooked, remove, cool, and enjoy!
Teriyaki's babies are getting big! Unfortunately, we had a raccoon come through on a killing spree and had five of our chickens taken. Tulip, Curry, Pepper, Basil, and Cotton. We've overhauled our security and are planning on making a large coop with an even bigger run to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future.
Also, there was a forest fire a few counties over that made smoke come through in the morning. I thought it was just fog, but my parents said it had been smoke.
You can see why I thought it was fog. Kinda thought the mist was happening.🥲😆
Teriyaki hatched her first baby today! 6 more to go!
Teriyaki is currently broody and has about 7 eggs under her. Hopefully, she'll commit to caring for them as they're well-developed now. I just wish she didn't choose now to get Broody since I already have 6 new chicks plus the four adults including her.

Syrup Kisses 😘
As soon as I got your request, I got to working! Never in my life have I been so excited to write a quick fic! Hope you enjoy!
Summary: Y/N celebrates her birthday with breakfast, kisses, a fire alarm, and iHop!
You wake to the smell first. Unmistakable. Sharp. A scent that slams into your senses like a brick wall, burnt something.
Not just toast. Not just bacon. This is everything-is-on-fire kind of burnt. You blink hard, already halfway sitting up when the shrill screen of the fire alarm blares.
You don’t even bother with slippers. You bolt down the hallway, heart pounding, and when you round the corner into the kitchen, the sight makes you stop short.
Emily, your brilliant, expertly calm, terrifyingly sexy wife, is standing on a chair, frantically waving a flattened Princess doll cardboard box under the fire alarm.
Smoke curls from the stovetop behind her. A scorched pan rests in the sink, billowing what’s left of its dreams. But it’s your daughter, your sweet, earnest Lily, who breaks your heart wide open.
She’s crouched beside the kitchen island, her apron stained, her little face flushed with tears. Her lower lip quivering as she cries, fists clenched tightly at her sides.
“I ruined it!” She screams, voice breaking, “I ruined Mama’s birthday!” You rush to her instantly, dropping to your knees and pulling her into your arms.
She practically collapses against you, small and trembling and sticky with syrup.
“No… baby,” you whisper into her hair, “Hey, hey… look at me. You didn’t ruin anything.” Lily shakes her head, furiously, “I wanted to make you breakfast!”
Lily’s voice bordering on wail, “Eggs, a-and pancakes… and bacon and ju-juice and… coffee, and I-I dropped an egg on the cat… and the bacon caught on fire… and Mommy lied and said it w-was fine… but it wasn’t fine!”
You glance up. Emily looks like she’s aged and greyed ten years in the last ten chaotic minutes, still fanning the air like the fire department might show up.
“I didn’t lie,” Emily whines, climbing off the chair, “I said we could order pancakes if we needed to!” You give her a look, then kiss Lily’s curls.
“Sweetheart. You tried to make me breakfast. That’s the best birthday present in the world!” You confess, your hands gently holding her, “But it’s burnt!” She argues.
You pull her tighter, “So… we pivot. You know what Mama wants more than anything?”
Lily lifts her blotchy face, “What, Mama?”
“Pancakes. That don’t taste like smoke. Which is why… we’re ordering iHop. Right now…” Emily exhales dramatically, as if those two syllables, iHop, were her salvation. “Thank… god!”
You hand her your phone, “You order, I’ll calm our Michelin star chef down.” While Emily taps away on the screen, you rock Lily gently in your lap, her tears slowing, sniffling turning to quiet sighs.
You hum softly, rubbing her back, and she burrows into your neck with a whisper, “I just wanted to make you happy.”
“You don’t think this adorable face makes me happy everyday?” Your hand moves to gently pinch her red cheeks.
- - -
Fifteen minutes later, you’ve wiped down the counters, aired out the kitchen, lit a candle, and even managed to get Emily to laugh at her own morning misfortunes.
Lily sits at the table now, sipping on a plastic cup of apple juice with her head resting on her folded arms, still tired from the emotional whiplash of the morning.
You stretch and kiss Emily’s cheek. “Alright… I’m going back to bed.” Emily raises an eyebrow, “What?”
“I’m going to pretend none of this happened, so you two can try again. Bring me iHop. Act surprised. Got it?” You ask her with a smile.
Emily grins, “You’re such a little drama queen.” You nod, like it was common knowledge, “And you love me for it.”
“Every burnt piece of you.” You add.
- - -
You hear their footsteps before the door creaks slowly open. “Mama?” Lily whispers, careful, tiptoeing. You crack an eye, just enough to see her trying to balance a tray while Emily steadies it behind her.
You sit up, playing along, “Oh wow! Breakfast in bed? For me?!” Lily giggles, proudly setting the tray in your lap. “Happy birthday, Mama! We made this one better!”
You glance down, three golden pancakes, crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and a little container of syrup. Everything you love, warm and perfect and not burnt.
Emily perches on the bed beside you, grinning, “You deserve it, hun.” You take a bite of pancake and groan happily, “This might be the best breakfast I’ve ever had.”
Lily beams. “It’s from iHop!” You laugh, mouth full, reaching to cup her cheek. “Still counts.”
She leans in and kisses your cheek, sticky, syrupy, and full of unconditional love. “Best Mama ever!” You sigh contentedly and wrap an arm around her, pulling Emily closer with your other hand.
“Best family ever!”

Months later…
You’re at the roundtable in the BAU bullpen. The case was hell. Everyone’s tired, weary and needing major sleep catchup.
Someone, probably Morgan, starts a round of “worst parenting fails,” and Hotch is halfway through telling a story about Jack and super glue when JJ turns to Emily.
“Didn’t you almost set your kitchen on fire trying to cook once?” The blonde questioned, Emily groaning as she sank into her chair, “It was a minor amount of smoke.”
You raise a brow. “Minor? The fire alarm woke the cat, and me. Lily cried. We had to order iHop to save my birthday.” Spencer’s eyes widen. “You ordered food and then pretended to be asleep so they could surprise you again?”
“Of course I did,” you say proudly, “I’m not going to miss a syrupy kiss from my daughter or my wife waving bacon in my face.”
Garcia practically squeals, “That is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard!” Emily squeezes your knee beneath the table, “She’s high maintenance, but she’s worth it.”
You grin. “You set off a fire alarm for me. That’s real love.”
Rossi chuckles, “You know it’s love when iHop saves the day!
