    Energency-Chickn skull

    Our light Brama did not make it, I had to put her down. Most of the wounds started healing but a vet told me there was no way for the bone that was protuding out to heal. I want to thank you for the help and the concern, we don't want to lose any of them but sometimes there injury are to great.

    First double yoke

    Our Hens are producing 9 eggs a day from 11 hens. They are only using 2 of our 7 boxes. My daughter is excited she has sold 12 dozen eggs. One layed a double yoke the other day and she asked me will that become twins? Does anybody know or has anyone heard of twins hatching?
