Hey, Bex. Any more losses?


Not always.

We had to put a 6 week old down during the switch over. Classic MD paralysis. We kept hoping she would fight it into remission but when she stopped eating we knew things weren't going to go the way we hoped. I have one rooster who isn't doing well. Poor boy just keeps getting one infection after another. He limped around for two days and now his whole foot is ballooned up. We thought maybe bumble foot. No kernel but a definite puncture of some sort. He's on antibiotics and soaks now and the whole flock is on antibiotics just to cover in case he has a staph or strep infection in the foot. Two months ago he had some sort of throat infection.

Good news is so far the rest of the OEGBs are looking good. I keep hoping for things to settle down with the Standard sized flock. Thanks for asking Banty.

On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree!

90 and 95 here last couple days, everyone is crying...boo hoo, "It's too hot" waaant crybabies.... I think it snowed a couple weeks ago. I'm lovin it!
Just had a nice down pour rain. Off to pick night crawlers. Think I'll take the 4yr old boy out trout fishing in my favorite holes tomorrow morning. Be one of the few times I get to take one kid out fishing instead of a half a dozen, can't fish small brook trout streams with that many, no fun. He better keep his mouth shut or his sisters will be PO'd

Rammstein. I've heard a few others, but I don't like any of them as much. It helps that the lyrics are disturbing.
