I sat outside for a little while today watching the chickens and the jubilees are bigger then anything else in there but still act like babies. the short hops and jumps playing. cuddling up together. Then I seen my polish roo wanting to chase the jubilee roo.  I dont like that.

Hi granny, what happened to Fugely. Read on FB that he died?

Hi Wishing sorry about the egg eaters. Occasionally I will have a hen eat eggs. All I find is wet bedding, it's frustrating to feed & care for them & then have them eat the prize.

hi Lisa, yes, he died 2 days ago. I fed him and put him in the brooder with the others for some socialization time, forgot he was in there and went out to feed. When I got back they had done something to him I believe. He passed about 2 hrs. later.

I've been having trouble focusing on the screen... everything's blurry. Then I washed my glasses.

I have heard that helps .

Aww that's so cute

Granny I think the extra long spurs has more to do with the breed because 2 of his hens needs theirs done too. Then I have another bird that has some game bird blood in her & I have to trim her spurl occasionally.

That's sad, but if he was weak it's for the best, sorry about it though.

Im glad I dont . I had a old game roo for many yrs. that I had the devil of a time keeping his trimmed. I trim the mean roos spurs but havent need to any others.

It still could be a jay... that's what I'm hoping. Sometimes I find them completely eaten, but most of the time it just has a smallish hole and most of the egg is left inside. I think granny is right and the chickens would eat the whole thing if it were them starting it. About 10 yrs ago, hubs found a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles camera with time lapse on clearance at ToysRUs. It was super cheap and works pretty good. That's what we use to see who is eating eggs. It's been the jays every time so far. Theyteach the babies what to do.
