That's a VERY good possibility!!!!! I completely forgot that the day before yesterday I found her in the neighbor's yard!!! She easily could have come in contact with pesticides. Everyone around us sprays their yards heavily for bugs and weeds.

What about slug & snail baite ?

Any poisonous plants ?

I hope she is OK~~~

CL that garden is just awesome as usual. I love pics of your garden. I hope someday I can have one half as good. I love the nasturtiums. I want a whole garden of just them. They are so tasty, nice and peppery. I didn't plant any this year. I'll be doing so next year.

So I think I'm moving the one 10x10 run out to the garden area for the winter. The birds can dig through all the weeds and fertilize. I'll just rotate it around on areas I'm not using that year. Hmm, I could put it where I'm planting in spring for a few months then move it. That should give it time before I till and plant to break down and not be as hot. I'm also thinking of penning off the cherry trees come spring and let the chickens keep the weeds down around them. That should also keep the stupid deer that keep trimming them during the summer out.

My chicken book recommends a molasses water flush for any toxins. Don't know if that would help at this point or not. Good luck!

Every one was out side looking at my coop (granted the house was completely different from what it is and so was my coop) and talking chickens when I decided I needed to go inside and make something that called for eggs. I looked in the fridge and there were not enough so I walked over to the wall next to what seems to have been the back door in the kitchen and there was a box on the wall about waist high. The box looked like ya'lls nest boxes that are on the outside of your coops so you can get eggs with out going in. KMHunter came into the kitchen to talk for a minute and I was showing her this box. I opened the top and it was nest boxes IN THE KITCHEN WALL so that I could get the eggs from the coop right from the kitchen!!!! It was the coolest thing ever. In the middle of makeing what ever it was I was making, I had some scraps for the chickens, so I opend the back door and holly cow the door led right into the coop itself. Next thing I knew was we were all outside again and and some balloons got lose off the table, we all tried catching them but could not and just watched them fly away. Then one of my kids showed up and said there was someone who had a basket full of our chickens and he was running for his truck. Now I am not sure what he drives in real life but in my dream it was a truck, but I think it is safe to assume we all know who the guy is that was stealing my chickens! The dream ended when HE got into his truck and drove away, the tailgate to the truck fell open while he sped off and gallons apon gallons of water rushed out. It looked like someone opened up. So it ended very weird.

You know I have had some pretty weird dreams but that one is almost at the top just because ya'll were there with covered faces!

That would be handy to just open a door and grab a fresh egg while cooking, or drop in kitchen scraps!

After my friend leaves I'm going to do a deeper search in my Chicken Health Handbook and see what they say. I will look into that! Thanks :)

Um....my VERY sick chicken laid an egg! I just went to check on her and sitting right there was an egg. HOW?! I still don't know what's going on. Clearly she's not in too bad of shape since she's laying eggs!
