Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

Woke up late which means the chickens/ducks got out late. Someone are 2 duck eggs. And this was in the chicken nesting pox...what would cause blood? Should I be concerned? Not sure which leghorn it was who laid this.

I have had bloody eggs before, what I read was that it was probably a pullet coming into lay for the first time, Or a bird that was out of lay and coming back in. I hear black oiled sunflower seed helps lube the chute.
 
Feeling like I am in the twilight zone... Yesterday the 11 year old marches up to me with a rabbit In her arms... I am perplexed...where did this rabbit come from?? Do we have visitors?-the kind that bring their rabbit with them?....uh.. NO. 11 year old explains that the rabbit is hers and she and her brother each bought rabbits at the 4H fair last week and have been hiding them in her bedroom closet. Whaaaat!? Really? They only came clean because the rabbits ran out of food.:/.


Today 15 yr old surfaces with a duckling....wait a minute, now where did THAT come from? We sold all of our ducklings.... He says 'there are 2, they just hatched'. What?? That hatch was over last week. I was very surprised that more eggs didn't hatch and now I know why...there were some Muscovys in there. GoodNESS! Never a dull moment around here, I'm telling ya!

It's neither of those things. But I'll give sunflower seeds a try. It's from our 1.5 leghorns and none of them took a break. Well see what happens tomorrow :)

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, eh? I would totally expect my girls to pull a move like that when they get older! They'd probably try now, but no one would sell an animal to a 6yo without a parent around ;)
 
That sounds a lot like what my kids did. Daughter hid a cat from her father for about 2 weeks. Then for 2 weeks he kept saying that she needed to return it. Guess who has a cat? Not me, not her, him. It is his cat. This was 7 years ago. cat is here, daughter is 1000 miles away.

haha reminds me of the time I hid a kitten in my dresser from my mom when I was younger :) All went well until it started meowing in the middle of the night!

That is awesome that she accepted that many!! Lucky you, what a good Broody Momma! And YES, I did smuggle more than a few kittens and even a puppy into my home when I was growing up! We were never allowed to have any pets -unacceptable, right?! But with the amount and varieties of animals we have here, I never saw the need to for my kids to smuggle anything in.
