Danz, I'm so sorry about the pups. There's nothing cuter than a puppy. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the rest.
Claire, we get eggs like that a lot. We feed them layer crumbles and kitchen scraps, so their diet should be sufficient. They're about 2 years old and I just figure the eggs look like that because they're young.
BrahmaBoy, those birds are gorgeous!
Ivy, congratulations on the weight loss. A couple of years ago I started losing weight and feeling great about it, then developed sciatica. I lost a lot of mobility over the next two years; until recently, I didn't even realize how much. Every time I tried working out or even simple stretches, it just seemed to make things worse. I finally found a doctor who can do something for it besides prescribe muscle relaxers (I also apparently have a pelvic strain that has resulted in the muscles kind of locking down) and things are really starting to improve. I'll look to your successes to keep me going!
I can't remember who asked about names, but our chickens do have names. We probably would have named them anyway, but my niece left us no choice about it! Of course, I don't know which bird is which except for Ruby, the Silver Laced Wyandotte. The three Buff Orps are Sophia, Penny and Daisy and the two Black Australorps are Anya and Willow. Justhatchin took Xander, our roo. I'm happy to know he'll have a flock to tend and land to roam. He's a good boy.
We miss hearing him crow. Since it's been so cold, the girls have been hanging out in the coop. I don't blame them. I've gotten spoiled by the mild weather.
