it started out hunched over and then went total “runt” on me.....splayed leg and letting others walk on it. right now it’s trying to get back up but still falling/hunching forward.

Noooo! I'm sorry muddy. That's exhausting and sad.

I have so much to catch up on! I have been traveling to visit family.

I am setting eggs late today or tomorrow. 20-40. We will see how many they laid for me while I was gone!

Poor little guy.

We finally got dug out! I think the driveway is wide enough for our evil SUV. If not, we can probably slide between the icy walls. We actually do own a small, much more virtuous car, but it’s a one season car... summer, if it’s not too wet. Anyway, if we wanted to, we could now officially go somewhere.

This is not really a 'new' color to my understanding, it has been in the german lines for years, but it is pretty. They invest a lot in marketing.

Yay, congrats!

I am about to have the opposite problem of getting back in the driveway.

Oh no! Maybe it won’t be too bad. My brother (about an hour’s drive away) missed all this. Apparently they were in Colorado Springs for the big storm. They came home to a bit of a dusting and a clear driveway, so go figure. Mama always did love him more.

so it looks like I am going to have to order gamebird feed in 50# bags because the $6 5lb bag mannapro costs are getting way out of hand!! the brands I’ve looked at are Nutrena, Purina, and Mazuri $19-24 per 50#. any preferences between those 3 or a different one I should look for?? (my flock is currently consuming 50 lbs meatbird, 5 lbs gamebird, and 15+/- lbs scratch per week)
