Aster the Meatbird Update

They did finally refund my money. It was an interesting conversation but in the end, they did the right thing.

I'm not so sure meatbird is correct either. At this point, wait and see.

Most large operations do not sell eggs. I needed fertile eggs.

I just looked at both mcmurray and cackle. McMurray has red sex link, white leghorn, and rare breed assortment. Cackle has assortments, and individual breeds. Ideal also has eggs in hatchery choice assortments or hi production breeds.

Success today. The game rooster from next door came over and was inside the run eating our chooks feed. Rudy (my Wyandottey rooster) beat the pizz out of him and sent him home.

Good boy!!!!

Hmmm, instead of 'Phantom of the Opera", it was 'Phantom egg Fairy"????

Well, I guess you have a federal/felony case, then! It is a federal crime to tamper with mail!!

There you go. My mail has been tampered with.

Ok. Which of you did this?

I just bought a chick-nik table. My mother in law is picking it up from the duck sanctuary today and she'll bring it over tomorrow. I'm not sure if this is the one I'm getting, I just know mine is orange!

So yesterday, Monday, Rosie claimed she was sick to her stomach. I will not lie I thought she was faking it. She had stayed up all night and to me it was convenient that she was suddenly sick when I asked her to mow the grass. She has pulled that stunt a time or two this summer. I can now say, she was not lying. About 1 this afternoon I was taking a break after washing dishes when the room started spinning and I barely made it to the bathroom. Yup she had a stomach virus darn her. 3 zofran and 10 hours of pure misery later I can finally sit up and the room not spin. My sugar has spiked to the 260 range which is also contributing to the nauseas feeling but thankfully it did not go higher resulting in a er trip. After years of a stomach virus sending me to the ICU in DKA, we have found Zofran to be the wonder drug. If I take one as soon as it hits, and every 4 hours as needed my sugar while it will climb has not went to the stupid 500 levels. Rosie was over it this morning so thankfully this seems to be a 24 hour bug. Rosie did bring in the chicks for me and collected eggs and put everyone up for the night. There was no way I could drag myself out to the coop and stay standing. I fully believe we both picked this up at the horseshow Saturday.

We'd have to have 4 or 5 of them placed around the yard cuz our girls won't share from a common feeder . Would cost an arm and a leg on our retirement income for such a cute luxury. DH gets to bring home the overflow of paper plates from his job and that's good enuf freebies for the hens! As long as it's food they'll eat off of anything!!

Yup! That’s for sure. I have an old horse feed tub I put the textured layer on, they like to hop in and dig around in it. Oh and of course poop in it
