    Super sized egg - pic

    Look what I found in the nest this morning. This is one of the biggest eggs I have ever found. It was layed by one of my ameraucana pullets. I hope it was not her first egg, but this is only the 3rd blue egg from my pullets, so it maybe a first egg or a second egg. Poor thing. She has been...

    So what are you doing with all that left-over ham?

    As usual FIL brought over a huge ham for us for easter. There is usually only the two of us. Thank goodness stepson decided to join us for easter dinner yesterday.

    Sad news, my beloved Butika died

    Yesterday we were in a hurry to run errands. My cross beaked Butika needed to be fed before we left (as usual). I thought I had the feeding tube down into the crop, but it must have been into her lungs instead. We ignored her protests and emptied the syringe. We both tried to suck the food back...
