Pinky, there is that much red tape with selling eating eggs it is just ridiculous.

I have had a bad day too.
It started with finding one of the minorca Chicks not Moving at all. I freaked out thinking that it was a disease so I woke up my partner to drive me into the vet. As we were getting the chick, the rooster attacked my partner twice and he kicked him :'( they're both OK but not fun and neither was the ensuing argument during which the lavender Araucana decided to FLY out of the yard, across a couple house blocks and a major street into someone else's yard. Got her back but I have to find her a new home now... so I took the nearly dead Chick and the one with the hurt leg to the vet who said it's not a disease, just trauma. Apparently some chicks got out yesterday while I was away and got picked on by my bossy hen. So they're both recovering but there's not much hope for the leg :-\

Why do you have to rehome the Lav Araucana? Just because she escaped?

I'm not exactly sure but I've only had her a little while and it's far preferable to having to re home my beloved rooster so I think I just have to count my blessings there and not push it.

Little bug, the Minorca, died gotta get another tree

it was because I didn't put hatching eggs just fertile eggs in the add.

Operation build new coop is in full swing, Saw our first goanna for the season yesterday so I've been getting as much done as I can in between raising four children under 6 and running the household while hubby cuts cane. So far I have constructed 4 panels, One of which has the main door (human size) to the run. Still have roughly 8 or so panels to go

Getting quite a few eggs a day now - 5 on Friday and Saturday, 7 yesterday and another 5 today. I'm not sure if they're fertile or not but I've been taking them away anyway. I'm assuming they're not fertile as none of the chickens are nesting on them
