Aurora,

I have no fear for you. I have great respect for you, as a rising star. I think you shall appoint me your successor.

My servant always say I am a very special hen: "Ready to rock and share the joyfulness of life right at shell-cracking!" I am the most junior hen in my tribe, yet I am the only one that can handle palm-sized frogs; I am the only hen that hugs my servant (yes that forever enslaved him); Everyone eats around the dinner bowl, but I eat IN IT; My eggs are as pink as yours (there I said it) ......

Aurora, I am a hen that never regrets anything I bawked.

Yours truly,
Foxy

Goose 3 days ago.

Goose just a few minutes ago. I'm not crazy you all see the difference in her comb color too right?

I think 4 of my 6 hens are laying again. Of the other two, one has a comb that makes me think it'll be any day now, but the last one is a ways out. That's ok, as she was my broody girl last summer, and I don't want to have to break her at this time of year.

Now, if she goes broody in May, that would be perfect timing! Well, after we build the coop addition, of course.

Lovely story and like you I love my girls. They are part of the family now and are treated that way. And by the way one of my girls are called "Fluffy But"

Great name!

Today is not a good day. We just lost one of our llamas. He was 19 years old and had an abscessed tooth that I didn’t catch in time. I knew he hadn’t been acting quite himself the past few weeks, but I was still seeing him eat (or so I thought) and I had checked his body condition a few times. Thursday morning he didn’t stand up when I walked out to feed and give treats so I got him into the vet. (Llama vets are about as hard to find as chicken vets but I found one less than an hour away.) We got him on antibiotics, and I started making mash from his food and squirting some in his mouth several times a day. But I guess he was just too weak and his digestive system must have started shutting down.

I am so sad, and blaming myself for just thinking it was the weather and his age that had him acting a little differently.

I’m so sorry Mac. At least you are with your buddy Boo again (the horse we lost a year ago). We loved you.
