Fukushima triple reactor meltdowns and continuous release of contaminated water into the Pacific over the last 3 years, gets picked up by the jet stream and dropped across north america as drenching rain?!! My veggies have terrible mutations following rain, the developing tissues of buds and blossoms (and embryos) are very sensitive to rad damage and oft result in mutation. I am very concerned about Californias' crops... peach, plum, orange, almond, and more have been drenched in the (ironically) much needed rain whilst in flower :/ Japanese Long Eggplant exposed to rain in flower & bud 2013. All fruit before & after developed normally. I am no Chicken Master/Whisperer, but it would be very interesting for me to know if the malformed/colored eggs follow any rainfall in your area by a couple days or so?
Mine sort of did, but she's the *only* hen doing this and all other eggs from ducks, turkeys and chickens are normal... And there are many, lol. -Kathy

I have not noticed anything in my personal garden yet. Only the weird weather causing some early bolting of some cooler greens then stunting my tomato's as we finally get rain.
Peas are going well over the last 2 weeks when they looked like they might be headed for death. Melon sprouts didn't like the cold and neither did my sprouting strawberries.
Crazy weather messes with my plants. Hoping the chickens can tend the bug population a little and I can begin using them as compost engines.
I actually went out every night and moved each chick up into the coop. They would huddle in a big pile in the run until I moved them. The Silkies were the last to figure out how to go up the ramp at night...but the first ones to figure out how to use it to get down! They were funny little fuzziness!

I'm probably a little far from you, but I'm getting ready to do some serious down-sizing. Is there anything in particular you are looking to find? I hate to say it, but someone else will...................I have MANY different breeds and none of them are hatchery stock.
