Broody?

Actually they just didn’t want to be bothered (wanting their privacy)

hCG shot update

It has been a little over a week and it should be kicking in. This week Naenae has not produced any double yolked eggs. (No, we are not eating them ) she also has NOT taken a day off from laying.

Today was a 3 egg day from her though one regular this morning, and two soft shelled ones this evening.

Not sure the hCG is working as well as vet had hoped. Will continue to watch her and may need to push for the pricier hormone treatment.

Here is my beautiful (and muddy) girl

Has Jaffar had a look yet? What does he say, does he recognize kin?

Jaffar is busy with the ladies he has. I don’t want to give him a heart attack!

Monitor yourself closely please. You might consider a covid test. You can get a monoclonal antibody treatment (free) if taken within days of the onset of symptoms, it will help greatly if it's covid.

I’m vaccinated, but I’m going to get a test in town tomorrow.

1 big male coyote down, who knows how many more to go. I'm not fooled into thinking it was just 1. Got him on the hillside where he was watching the chickens eat their afternoon snack.

Yup, as I thought, defiantly NOT blue Marans.

Jaffar saw the pictures. (He didn’t recognize any of them being his kin)

Lovely birds nonetheless (and eggs too!)

I mustered up enough energy to go out and feed and water the chickens. (Watermelon Treats too) I’m going back into the house now. Maybe sleep this fever away. The chickens will be okay without me for a while.

Seconded. Please get tested Alex. This is something you would want to catch early. We worry about you and your chickens need you.


Edit: SHRA. Good to hear. Thanks for letting us know Alex. Get well soon.

I really do have to go to town tomorrow.
1. Covid test
2. More watermelon for the chooks
3. Corn for the chooks
4. Need more steaks for me (And the chooks)
5. Need oyster shell, also for the chooks
Busy day for me tomorrow I reckon!
