What type of snake is that?

 

[Ponypoor]

Panting, but they have lots of water and none have died yet

That’s good! Shade and water.

Hello jaffar!

New new kids on the block

They are cute, but I am sure they are not Bielefelders or legbar, likely olive Eggers or some type of blue egger.

But cute none the less

Well, if it were "me" I'd not pass on those "office" eggs, just your extras. On the safe side.....

Maybe I'll crack them (one at a time in a bowl of course) and freeze them for this winter when the laying stops.

Up to 87 here and we just finished our outdoor chores. There's more we could do, but this fat lady has had enough sweating this week.

More Eenie drama. Both of Sheba's marked eggs have bit the dust. Found them out of the nest, room temp at best. We didn't bother to candle them, since this was the 2nd time out of the nest for one of them. Then the real craziness began...

First, I caught Manny giving Eenie (on her nest) a few good pecks through the curtain! I ran him off, but a bit later caught him in the nest box with her. I managed to get him to leave again and noticed he'd scratched down to the concrete. Could he be looking for the mice? The bwack bwack bwaGOk of both Manny and Meanie after I ran him out was deafening. They carried on for ages.

Anyway, later, I caught him there again. That time Meanie took the opportunity to horn in too. She's laid today...so she has no business in there again.

What on earth would make a roo sit in the nest box? I'm more than a little worried that they're trying to force Eenie off the nest. Maybe that is why eggs are being kicked out? She's down to three.

I'm worried now about the plan to give her chicks. Maybe she's just too submissive to protect them if the other's don't want them?

Worst joke I’ve heard all week.
Q.Why are barnacles so clingy?
A. They can’t help themselves , they are shellfish!

I’ll see myself out!
