I'm Daisy. :-) [always so grateful when I can get my actual name on a site!!] On ChickenPet, you'll find me welcoming new players, creating chicks for my hatcheries (Daisy's Bakery and The Bug Box), and helping others rescue pullet chickens via SugarBunBunnii's Angel Chickets thread.* Off ChickenPet, I love baking and cooking for my partner @matcha, sculpting little things out of clay and painting them, and playing with my kitty, Mildred. [see below as I have a ton of hobbies and interests] I've been a virtual pet site player since 2000, starting on Neopets. While I've played dozens of pet sites over the years, ChickenPet is where I'm most active. I love the adorable art, the customization, the simplicity, all the clever puns, and how kind the owner is. *I'm more often able to help if your request only has one (1) chicken in it. [my chicket count weeps in the corner] ๐จ hobbies Baking, cooking, drawing, painting, clay sculpting, photography, writing, dancing, jewelry making, paper crafting, thrifting, sewing, reading, modeling, coding, strength training, songwriting, painting my nails, playing electric guitar, and more. ๐ interests Cats, arts & crafts, computers, forests, cameras, squirrels, bugs, birds, jewelry, fashion, makeup, hair, nail polish, tea, coffee, plushies, vintage, antiques, estate sales, stationery, stickers, aviation, mortuary science, funeralia, teeth, dentistry, cars, dermatology, anatomy, chemistry, robots, electronics, and more. ๐จ trigger warnings Coop Trigger Warnings: Death and Insects โฐ๏ธFuneral Crowcession roost has themes of of death, bones, and some blood. Some backgrounds have skeletons. For 4 1/2 years, I worked in funeral care as an urn and grave marker engraver. I'd design layouts with names, dates, and epitaphs for cremation urns and temporary grave markers, along with drawing custom portraits of the decedents to be engraved onto the pieces as well (all with CorelDRAW, Epilog Legend 36EXTs, sandblaster, etc.). This is part of the reasoning behind this theme and interest. It's ironic, because I prefer burial over cremation, though a natural burial, and above all, I personally want to donate my body to science. I want others to learn or for my body to have more purpose or for my organs to be donated. I think cremation, no offense intended and all due respect, isn't very "rest in peace" and it uses a ton of energy. And it just feels horrific. Burial, sans chemicals, feels the most peaceful to me, the most kind towards the being, though it takes up precious land, and without chemicals, no open casket. While death is a theme, motif, etc. that I've loved my whole life (irrevocably depressed goth/emo kid here), death is actually still very scary to me and I don't like that people die. I worry about it incessantly. But I truly hope my roost theme doesn't bother anyone and you can see the beauty in it. โBug Box roost has chickens designed to look like bugs, but the backgrounds are not currently of actual bugs and not sure I'll make them. Though on Cicada's profile, I do have photos (at the bottom with a TW) of real cicadas I'm holding. I've loved bugs my whole life (my AOL username as a kid was BugLover91 and yes, I got bullied for it lmao :-/). I hope this theme isn't too horrible for anyone! ๐ฃ chick picks Body: Chuffed! Chook was my initial favorite but I love the fluff. I'd love a combo of the two. Comb: Front Tail: Fan, Pompom, None Pattern: Neck-speckle, Half-lace, Lace Eyespot: Basic Colors: Greens, purples, blacks, blues, pastels, greys, monochromes A color that bothers me is vermilion ONLY because it's between brown and bark. I so desperately want brown and bark together lol. Site Mode: Dark chia. I love that it's dark AND green! ๐ chick stats Wheel of Hue Wins: 12 โ 7/11/25 Mint 1 color (Spring) 127 eggs, 7/25/25 Indigo 0 colors 196 eggs, 8/10/25 Ochre 0 colors 109 eggs, 10/11/25 Russet 0 colors 158 eggs, 10/16/25 Ash 0 colors 298 eggs, 11/16/25 Apple 0 colors 186 eggs, 11/22/25 Indigo 0 colors 258 eggs, 11/27/25 Spring 0 colors 186 eggs, 12/3/25 Overcast 0 colors 175, 02/03/26 Plum 0 colors 855 eggs (this one took a long time to win, but was worth it!

I've lost count cuz I stopped recording this waahh!); 1 08/30/25; 5 01/03/26; 3 01/18/26; 1 01/30/26 -- some are chickets donated, some are that I adopted the chicken then sent them, so I think I may be missing some other chickens I adopted then sent... me wanting to keep track of stuff only to then be bad at it lol Fun Fact: I've never pulleted or released a chicken. :3 I don't think this makes me superior than anyone, I just mean that I don't think I could ever do it. Not even for an achievement. I'm a bit too sentimental. ๐ฅด Idk what I'm gonna do when I inevitably run out of coop space LOL. ๐งต my threads ๐ IRL Pets on ChickenPet : Share your chickens that represent your real-life pets. ๐ฃ Who is Your Join Date Chicken? : Share the chicken that has the ID of your join date. ๐ก Chicken Name Generator : Follow today's prompt to create a name. ๐ช Daisy's Bakery : A bakery-themed hatchery with 30+ thoughtfully curated desserts, drinks, and snacks to sweeten your coop. ๐ฐ Dessert Chicken Contest : A contest to discover the sweetest chooks. ๐ Halloween Costume Contest : A contest to discover the spookiest chooks. ๐ First Anniversary Raffle : A raffle to celebrate my first year on ChickenPet. ๐ฆ The Bug Box : A colloquial bug hatchery. ๐ซ thank yous @reficul: Thank you for the special chick, 300 eggs, 100 seeds, 5 chickets! @matcha: Thank you for gifting me so many eggs! @Aviivix: Thank you for the chick! @chicken: Thank you for the chick! @MisspelledFox: Thank you for the merry crisis gift and nye gift! @SugarBunBunnii: Thank you for creating the Angel Chicket page! ๐ฟ pet sites 4dopt: Daisy #4499 (inactive) Chicken Smoothie: DaisyCats #1131112 (inactive) Discord: DaisyCats (sporadic) Egg Cave: DaisyCat Eliyo: DaisyCat #11449 (inactive) Goatlings: DaisyCat #109787 (Rest in...

The owner (CJ aka Jubilee, Ken, Chaz, Charles) is extremely abusive. You can look up info about it if you'd like. tumblr.com/santae-salt ๐ชฆ fun (?) facts โฆ One of my collections in real life: Human teeth. I have a bit over ten, most of them being wisdom teeth (four wisdoms are my own). I asked my oral surgeon to drill holes in mine so I could string them onto a silver chain for a necklace! โฆ I worked as a laser engraver for 4 1/2 years, engraving cremation urns and temporary grave markers. During this time, I engraved the urns for Zsa Zsa Gabor, Florence Henderson, and Burt Reynolds. Depending on your age, these celebs may not impress you lol but feel free to give them a search! โฆ On the pet site Egg Cave, where guilds are not a feature, I created and ran a guild for around a year and a half. It was called Nest or The Nest and had around 45-50 members (Nestlings). You can visit the Guild Event Schedule to see the contests and activities I created for the Nestlings and the Guild Account to see the directory of guild pages. I owned a few guilds back on Neopets and I felt like Egg Cave was missing something like this (and so was I!). I loved organizing events for everyone and giving them something to look forward to. โฆ In 2008, I designed and coded from scratch my own .com domain. I taught myself HTML and CSS via Neopets. I had also already been drawing digitally for a few years, creating graphics in MS Paint and Photoshop. It was hosted with GoDaddy and I advertised it on MySpace and Neopets. It had pixel adoptables (drawn with mouse in MS Paint), animated pixel adoptables and text images (same as previous and animated in Photoshop), "Hatchables" (Special pixel adoptable eggs that were animated, colored with a gradient, and, a couple weeks after adoption, the image link would remain the same but a new image was uploaded by me, thus, your egg would "hatch" into a new pet! Sound familiar...? I created these in 2009, and yet I was unaware of multiple other sites doing this??????? But there's also Tamagotchi lol. No recollection of what could have inspired me or if it was subconscious or what.), backgrounds (repeating / tiled; created in MS Paint and Photoshop), photos of my makeup looks for inspiration, photos of my baked goods with recipes, skincare advice, and more! I closed my website in 2016. |
