I could swear that your Mt. Poopmore has pres. Trump’s face in it. (Look at the hair on top )

That's nothing. Hattie is a svelte 6.5 lbs.

Those little Azur Blues I bought are teeny tiny! When I pick them up for a cuddle (gosh they are so sweet for factory raises girls), there is nothing to them. Almost Bantam sized, and lay small blue eggs. I haven’t weighed them yet but I bet they are on par with the Silkies weight wise.

Their feathers are so soft and silky, not coarse like the other pullets feathers.

I think it’s ‘combed’ the wrong way though!

News and such…

I have accepted a job from a company that does civil work with pipelines and such; it’s full time no contract stuff, 21 days working and 7 days off, I will be in British Columbia and will fly home for my days off.

So Alex will have to make up for any absences I will have here, and I hope I don’t miss any news, anyone wishing to jibber-jabber with me please feel free to PM me

Here is Pretty Boy Floyd
Mr P is making it his mission these days to flog him regularly.

I hate one off poos. I prefer to treat off consistency. I'm not certain what I would do.

Exactly, I haven’t seen Popcorn poop so will watch her. I will wait for now to hear back from the vet. I could arrange a flock check again, or a visit for these two. Popcorn and Hazel have never been x-rayed, maybe that would show something. I did email those poo pics and description to the vet, they expressed interest in updates on Butters, and I’ve communicated with her with an update since the last visit about Butters and she replied.

I feel depressed about it though, this might be Popcorn or Hazel, on top of Butters teetering on the edge of dying so underweight for unknown reasons, and Peanut’s passing so recently, and losing the two new little ones was very hard. Treating whoever it is early might lessen the scarring and give whoever it is a better chance in the future, but it’s not good news for whoever it is. I spent my time outside today with them and hand feeding Hazel, & trying to make progress on the run expansion for the chicks, but not much with the actual chicks today until this evening, it was rainy for most of the day. Spent time tonight inside with them and made a new set of things to fly and jump on with the walker repurposed, but that’s all.

Can the chicks go on the run litter that’s been there for about a year now, or is it potentially too big a dose of whatever things the hens might be carrying around in them? I usually rake it out and replace it once a year in the Fall and haven’t done that yet. That’s the sheltered part of the run with electric and I could have them out there in a protected see no touch corner even in the rain and have their brooder plate with them during the day too.

I get a mix of pink, browns of all shades, olive, green, blues in a couple shades now… when I mix them in an egg crate they look fun. Sometimes I mix them up and sometimes I it them in a gradient of blues to pinks

Or pink/browns in one row, blues/greens second row makes it fun for the people I sell to.

What breed(s) are giving you the pink eggs?

I'm hoping for the best for Butters, and/ whoever that poo is from.

Today may have not been a good day/not lots of time with the chicks - but you will have more. They clearly love you - always wanting to be where you are and hoping up on you

There will be better days. More poor ones, too, but more better ones as well. With great caring comes great pain & loss. Just remember the good times - both past and now - you wouldn't hurt as much if you didn't also love and cherish the time with them.
