I will have toad eggs to go out to someone next week again. I am not having much luck staying with my ship on Monday or Tuesday. The Toad hens are not cooperating.
But why should they? Nothing has been easy with these guys. I have only 4 toad hens. I have decided only 2 are laying. The last dozen I was working on was not full and going to be too old, so I set them myself, with the hopes of giving some trios away to Minnesota people. I need more toads.
The toads spent the day free ranging again yesterday. Free ranging for a toad means following me around and hanging out in the same area I am in. They forage some but there is not a lot of forage available in Minnesota in Feb.
When I put them to bed last night one of the roosters was wheezing and I think his comb was turning purple/blue.
I am somewhat worried he will be dead this morning. I think he over exerted himself chasing the skinny hens. He has quite the eye for the women and was trying to catch one most of the day. I warned him, and told him he was going to give himself a heart attack chasing them. I tried to get it on video but didn't get much. I did get this one little attempt..
Is he okay?
I did see him try to fight a turkey today. It was a short fight, neither him nor the turkey really felt like fighting.
