Can I just say that I absolutely hate that this is how Roxy is spending her likely last day?

So sorry...

Mrs BY Bob's Stroke

For those of you who do not follow @Ribh thread but are interested in the story of Mrs BY Bob's stroke, I have posted it here:

Wow. That is a terrifying story and it sounds like you (and by extension all of us) are lucky that Mrs BY Bob survived that ordeal. Terrifying.

I think ordeal is a good way to describe it. It is a heck of a way to start your life together.

Just air condition their coop.

Costs too much money, to run A/C in that big barn/coop! $$$$$$ There is a unit in it already though.

I can't show BLU at the moment, he's under the back porch.

Concerned about Phyllis

All day yesterday Phyllis was zipping around the yard. Messing with Hattie by jumping back and forth over the little fence. Running between my legs and into the house. Just her usual pesky self.

As we sat watching the chicks go to bed I started to get very concerned about Phyllis. She was sitting low with her neck all the way down. Phyllis is a tall walker with her head high. She was only half heartedly pecking at grass and spent a lot of time standing still.

So I grabbed her up and checked her over. I was concerned that she might be egg bound. No physical signs of anything.

So I told Mrs BY Bob that it was likely that she just needed to lay her egg but it was too late in the evening so she was going to hold it in until morning. And secretly I prayed that I was right.

I feel asleep on the couch last night and woke up after midnight needing to go to bed. I did however realize that I had not closed the coop complex up. So i headed out to close them and figured I would check on Phyllis. There it was. I cracked egg right underneath her. I guess she could not hold it all night.

She is back to her old photo bombing self today getting into every picture I try to take.

Some things just can't wait!!!
