University of Montreal resesrch into shared stress between couples found that "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and nonbinary couples" (SGD) supported each other better through stress than cishet couples - they "recover more efficiently from acute stress and display more engaged and coordinated support behaviors".
One hypothesis explaining this was, essentially, shared oppression and the need to build strong chosen families.
We have (not entirely by plan) a Barnevelder chick that had a difficult hatch and came out with splay leg and spent several days in a cup before experimentally transitioning to the brooder. It's trying, and it's slowly improving, but it's SO small that none of my usual chicken interventions are feasible. I can't gavage it, that's for damn sure. Syringe-feeding protein slurry blobs for it to peck off the nozzle is risky, but it's too unstable to peck at a feeder normal…
