Oh man, sorry to hear your hen passed :(
Please keep us posted on the necropsy. That is my fear as well, that I dropped something while building the run.
That is a jumbo egg!!!
They're here! My English Orpington chicks arrived this morning! They are all doing fantastic and are just the cutest, sweetest lil fuzzy nuggets! Jubilee, Lavender, Chocolate, and Black.
There are 13 in all. One looks like she's starting to go wry neck so I'm supplementing her with iron-free...
I currently live in Western Wa, but grew up in the Tri-Cities! I go back and visit now and then.
I currently have 4 hens and one baby roo. Working on building a bigger run to go with a bigger coop (chicken math at it's finest) so I can order some English Orpingtons.
