Granny's gone and done it again

I think they have another month at least. Combs are just starting to get a little color.

The youngsters have joined what's left of the young older hens. (Not to be confused with the old older hens! In a different coop)

The 2yr old hens are in the back... 3 of them. The white one has some repro issue (squishy butt). I have some antibiotics to try, but still researching. I lost the EE to repro issues last year. Shame the fox killed the healthy EE.

Here are the youngsters. Not quite full grown. So far they seem healthy. The Sussex sure are friendly. The more white, the friendlier with these. The legbars are a bit flighty and suspicious, but they make good alarms and get everybody running for cover at the slightest threat. (Like a jay shrieking )

How old are your old old ones now?

No actually they let everyone decide what they need to do it’s your choice. That’s why God gave us free will.

Jan.3rd and Robert got a tick. He was walking up to the mail box. Crazy.

I have been finding about one tick a week on the dogs.

But you don't see him hiking? Could it be Frosty? Sounds like someone is either incontinent or spitting up liquids.

My dogs will leave a wet spot if they have been licking at something.

But the nurse was telling me is the nicotine that causes the problem with blood clots.

Really? Maybe different set of circumstances. One friend broke her hip. When I was at the hospital visiting her I noticed she was wearing a patch and asked her what it was for. She told me it was a nicoderm patch since she couldn't smoke in the hospital.

She was near 80 and a smoker. Died 6 months later from lung cancer.

I went to the bathroom and when I came out there was a wet circle on my bed and Bandit was up there. This has happened 2xs now this week. Exact same spot. I yelled at him and he ran into his crate. Any ideas?

Maybe urinary infection?
