Welcome Eggward! You are at the best place to talk about chicken and anything in between,

Yuck! Staying away from having a real fit and sending all to hell. So, I just played all day and slept. Will go out to the check on the kids and back to my room. I guess I put myself on time out!

My three remaining eggs hatched for Easter. Needless to say, they aren’t all Orloffs. One of the Showgirls was sneaking in to lay eggs! The dark orloff was breech and needed help out of the shell. I wasn’t sure it would make it but it recovered well.

Thankfully most of our snow melted today. I’m too tired of the mess our weather is to even muster the energy to whine about it any more. Most of my frustration comes out while doing chores.

I spent a bit of time putting netting over the runs so everyone will be contained. Over the weekend I had a call about an owl I’m sure had AI about 20 miles from my home. I doubt it will end up tested. Today I’ve gotten two unconfirmed reports of two flocks in the same county that tested positive. If the netting doesn’t work clipping wings is the last resort. I’ve never tried before and may need some instruction.

@taprock, Where are you located? I used to live in Eastport and went to Central Lake High School.

The AI is way too close for comfort here, so the birds will be in for however much longer that's necessary.
I'm close to Lansing too, near Perry. Welcome! And i agree that your run isn't all that safe, and with avian influenza so close, having them under a roof of some sort will be best too.

Hi Mrs Mary, How is the husband?

Hubby is recovering from the pneumonia, but is still pretty weak. Might be going back to inpatient rehab...
So better, but not enough better.
Work today, fine except for the very difficult puppy, who would be a be a real challenge for anyone. Sad.

I’m 10 miles south of Mackinaw City. With our elevation we can just see the bridge until the leaves arrive!

Cold morning. Just had blood work done. Heading home to see my babies.

Yep I can almost see you from here!
