Good morning folks

Still nursing what I thought was an egg bound hen
but I am really doubting that idea now. She acts and
stands like an egg bound hen and is swollen in the
right area, hasn't laid an egg but I can't feel an egg
anywhere, that belly is soft. So thinking maybe an
infection or something???? her color is good and
she is loving the "house chicken" life

hope everyone has a good day

We picked up fence at TSC this weekend, unfortunately paid full price (gosh I need stock in that company). However, because we seeded alot of the garden, felt we needed to go ahead and get it up.

After three years in Germany growing in pots, the wife and I are surprised how much work tilling, mulchifying (my new word), lining out, seeding and fencing in a 70' X 40' garden, lol.

We were both sore and sunburned after this weekend, but glad to be in anticipation of some yummy delicious stuff come summer!!

Welcome aboard trailhound! (and any other newbies I missed since I've been on so little lately)

Headed back to Pittsburgh this week. DH's grandmother passed away, so we're headed up for a couple days of funeralling. Hope I don't lose any more chickens this time!

In case anyone is interested, I sent an email to Ideal poultry asking about their Ameraucana's. Wanted to know if they were pure Ameraucana or EE. Here's the email I got in return:

"Jennifer—

The Ameraucanas that we have are purebred, but we do not separate them according to color, which means they are not recognized always as a particular color.

Thank you,

Julie Eason"

So there you have it. We got ours from the Southern States in Asheboro that orders from Ideal. She is a fantastic bird, she got off to a rough start bullying her way up the pecking order but once everyone let her rule the roost she calmed down considerably. Gives me an egg a day six days a week.

Has anyone had polish birds before? I just scooped up a few chicks and wanted to see if I made a good choice with this addition to my flock?

I had them and they all got eaten by hawks because they couldn't see them coming
