His back was broke and the spinal cord severed. Surgery was given as a option, but due to the location of the injury he would never have control of his bladder or bowels again. Vet thinks it happened sometime yesterday instead of this morning as his bladder was huge. Mom considered the surgery but dad made the call to euthanize. He said having to be catharized to pee every time for the rest of his life was no way to live.

Yes! I need ideas! And oh yeah, she is a very fun teacher. The possibility of it being an April fools prank occurred to me, but she told us all DAYS before April fools day. I was wondering though… none of her teacher friends seemed very upset.

She told you days before, you get her days later. It's fair.

Maybe a annoy-a-tron or whatever those little speakers that make sound every so often.

Well, I am glad I did not set Momma Hen last night. I did not break her, the dang cochin girls saw to that. I knew that was a bad spot for her to go broody. Flurry and Grouchy Gryffyn sleep there. Yes, I gave up on them sleeping in the coop. They will not roost, they have chosen that secluded corner as their own. If something were to get to them, they would have to get by both Russ and Dirt so I have let them be. Gryffyn took offense to Momma Hen and was evil to her today relentlessly pecking, sitting on her and just being a brat that she gave up. I promise you this Gryffyn, if she hits the hill now, you are chicken and dumplings.

Bad Gryffyn, you beast you!

Darn, I sure hope she doesn’t chose up there again. Oh these animals one has to have nerves of steel to own them

Those Cochins are nothing but trouble. Egg eaters still even after Gryffyn hatched and reared chicks. They are pretty girls with a big fluffy booty and feathered feet. That is all they have going for them. I am stuck with them. Grandma loved them and claimed them as her own.

Today's haul.View attachment 3789846I thought everyone was laying. Either someone laid the world's largest fairy egg, or one of the pullets held out until now for her first egg.

Pippa's is the large olive egg, Maizie has the one to the right. Shan and Chia have the 2 small roundish brown eggs on opposite sides of the circle. The 2 white matching the shape (top and bottom) are from Lark and Indigo. The hamburg shape/size is rather distinctI've. The longish dirty one is Mera's I think. The other white and the other browns: not quite sure. Not Belladonna, Primula, Twirp, or Cuckoo.

Wow Pippa!

Well the antibiotics didn’t get here, but the hen’s new plaything did! Online it has really mixed reviews.

Sure enough, while they did peck at it, there was general dismay that this new treat requires WORK. Bock!

Checked a few hours later and it still had visitors, so can’t be too bad.

Very sad, and an extra burden of grief to carry given all your family has been through, not a great topper to it all. So sorry!
