Whatever happened, they seem to have recovered, and the girls are in sync with each other for the first time EVER. We've gone outside the last three days to find two same-sized eggs - all much bigger than the half-bantam had ever laid before. Prior to the walnut episode, there was a two size...

We have one cat carrier that we put in the night house for what I thought was the more "aggressive" drake, and after the nuisance the wee little guy was making of himself yesterday, I've arranged to go pick up a second. They don't have water in there at all, though. Just in their daytime home...

What would make her lay two eggs, one in the nest, one outside it, within a couple hours of each other? That seems more worrisome to me. Almost like the muscles that normally hold them in just gave way and dropped whatever was anywhere near the opening! They've got oyster shell and ground...

Pretty sure it was a nut. She seems to have recovered, though she's probably still a bit underweight. I think she laid today for the first time since the walnut. Twice. Neither one with a shell. Is that a reasonable thing to happen after such a long pause in laying, or should I be concerned?

Thanks. I've been giving her Nutri-Drench in her water, and tonight gave her the cooking water from our steamed broccoli, too. I can't believe how much she's drinking. A full gizzard might explain why she doesn't feel like eating anything. I wondered why we were going through so much less...

Hmm. If so, it would probably be a walnut. They haven't been out near the walnut trees recently, but the darned squirrels plant the nuts all over the place, and they dug up enough of a mud hole the other day it's possible that she could have unearthed one. Actually, as I was draining the tub...

I brought a sick duck in the other day and noticed that she was making a weird "crackling" sound. Kind of like a crumpling paper bag or a quiet fire. She's seeming better, but walking a little funny. I realized that she's probably terribly out of shape since they only range when someone is...
