Hmmm...the name's vaguely familiar, but I can't quite place it
How in the world have you been?
Your terropist forgiven you yet?

Morning Whites!
I have been insanely busy for the past year.
Rebuilding after the fire, getting accustomed to my new employment, and generally looking after the 'crew' and entertaining (spoiling) the grandkids.
My physio terrorist looks great in her new sports car, but I think she has plans for a new house now! you got to look after the ones who look after you
Other than that, I have been busy re-building my flock and breeding program, had a family of red foxes nearly wipe me out completely last summer and fall. I lost almost 100 birds from June to September.
My great Pyrynees and the Labs finally nailed them in September, six carcasses in two weeks appeared on my deck, and no problems since.
How are you doing? still bowling or did you retire as you were planning?
I have been dropping in from time to time, mostly late in the day, to try to keep up with everyone.
Chatted a bit with Banty and MC a few weeks ago, and have been following Sally's unfortunate events recently, but have never been able to catch up with all of you.
hope all is well, and you are enjoying the spring time weather!

Hey guys is there anything you can do for a hen that you think had an egg bust inside her? She is laying down and is kind of yellowish shoes out from under that look like yolk sort of maybe didn't look good.

@mlm Mike I feel more sorry for them being stuck in the pet carrier bouncing around in this truck. Especially on a week like this one where it rained everyday but today they couldn't even get out pet carrier bouncing around in this truck. Especially on a week like this one where it rained every day but today they couldn't even get out even when I stopped. Except for I feel sorry for me when they moved to that first stage of colostrum poop the stench is bad.

The snow we got in the mountains was nice. It’s good to see from the valley. Supposed to be 80 today.

The mountains are what I miss most about the northwest.

Whites!
Barely alive! I'm busy with work again now, but for a couple months battled with a complicated appendicitis. I'd probably be dead if it weren't for the fact that my surgeon is a friend of mine. Long story, but recovering now.
How are you? Surviving the cold?

Glad you are doing better and alive.

Stupid dogs got another one of my hens last night or this morning. I'm so fking pissed off.... ARGH! Hubby even got up early this morning to try to shoot them when they snuck over here, but as soon as they heard our front door, they took off.

Sounds like it's time to stake it out with rifle in hand.
At this point with them taking animals all the time it should be able to do something about it it's ridiculous.

I either forgot about the fire or never knew about it. Hope no one got hurt. Rebuilding's always fun. Damn foxes! It felt like Spring earlier today. Still does whenever the sun breaks through the clouds, which isn't supposed to be too often this afternoon.
No, I haven't retired from bowling; ain't got enough sense to retire. We won it all last season. Won the 1st half this season, getting our butts handed to us in the 2nd, but at least we'll be in the playoffs.
