What was that when it was breathing?

Bobcat. Got hit by a car.

Nice. Is this the one you skinned?

I skinned the head to get the skull, yea. I don’t really skin the animals I get skulls from.. I don’t know how to tan hides and don’t have a use for them.

Have your EE started laying yet? How are they doing—are they still crazy?

NOPE. None are laying. I'm getting 1 white egg from the 6 Leghorns.
1 raising the babies & she molted hard.
1 recovering from a hard molt.
4 looking rough with scruffy feathers. But I'll get 3 eggs occasionally. Occassionally. Like twice a month.

The 6 EEs aren't laying at all. Redhead will hop in my lap for BOSS. Kiki's Yellow will demand BOSS. Only 2 out of 6 are bearded. 5 have grey legs and Kiki's Yellow is bright yellow-green and is the only one squatting. The other 4 will stay at arms length. Crazy, meh. Just don't like being touched.

The 2 hatched by the broody are 12 weeks. No one thinks the cockerel will lay. He's got until he crows because he is aggressive and pushes everyone he can off food. The black girl is very shy. Getting big, but shy. We shall see. Halloween eggs didn't happen. Thanksgiving? I'm hopeful.

Oh no. I'm so sorry.
It doesn't look too bad, it should heal just fine.

X2. I've seen some hens with some nasty, nasty wounds, way deeper, bigger, etc. Heal just fine. She should be okay as long as you make sure it stays clean and doesn't get infected.

It’s been a...day. Two straight weeks of life being quite miserable and I’m getting kind of tired of it!

Okay thanks
Should I keep her separated?
