6:10 , The Polish are out running around, the other 4 chickens are in their run and the guineas laid their 4 eggs in a timely manner so they are out running around looking for ticks, i hope.

I need to choke something. Maybe cry some. throw a few things ? Been watching bandit all freaking day. second my back is turned he slipps out and gone . I go out to feed and the corn and chicken food never got put in the cans and something ripped the hell out of those bags. corn scattered all in the gravel. Puke /crap everywhere and there is Bandit right in the middle of it. Can we say worm time ? He took off again. I cant feed the chickens so screw it. I come in and still waiting on Robert to come dump whats left in the cans like I asked him to 2 days ago. Now Im boiling eggs for deviled . yes, fresh eggs. Good times.

I think Bandit needs to go to a home with lots of kids to wear him out.
I going back out shortly, sun still shining. Incubator coming along well and the quail duplex got moved over near the other one.

Same problem I had 2x last year & it made me so sad/mad I don't want to incubate any more eggs. Thought I would get over it but no.

Haven't been on yet today, despite trying. Went to the barn this morning to pull manes, but never got a chance to do so. Does anyone know anything about ducks? Just rescued one with a broken leg, it will probably need to be amputated.

My vet is coming tomorrow night. Put neosporin on it, wrapped it, and propped it back. The duck (who we are calling Kevin- Footloose, footLESS) seems to be okay for now, just tired. She's eating and drinking, and pooped on me so all good there.

Melon, sounds like you have it stabilized til seen by the vet tomorrow.
Tom and I went out and we took care of the spilled food. I yelled at Robert. A lot. He had it coming. He peeled the eggs. I seen a tip for peeling fresh eggs and it seemed to work. Salt, a lot . I used about 1/4 cup in the water. Now I also used a couple tbsp. of the mother too but I have used that before with no luck. anyway everything is done except a shower and dont know if I will do that tonight or am.

Back to gardening.

Tom is scaring me. He is very worried about me. He called Robert into his room and I found out later it was to ask him to not sell his tools. at least thats all Robert would tell me. He came to me and said it was time for me to start looking for someone. I didnt have a clue what he was talking about so he explained. He wouldnt be able to help me/ take care of me and he wants me to find someone that will. I asked him if he was out of him ever loving mind. I cant cope with this.
