Hi Wishing, Happy Mothers Day. Looks like your hubby could be a chef. I have never eaten eggs benedict, but that looked great.

They look great, Melon. Hope you are getting paid for your work.

Thanks! Don't worry, I am, though not as much as I should of asked for (still well below what other artists I talk to ask) pretty sure they did some price checking and realized they weren't getting a better deal anywhere else.

With the calf and doeling we’re leaving the pop door closed. The chickens hop in and out over the Dutch door, but the guineas won’t.



We watch them go onto the coop, then hop up from there.

Camp, I forgot to post on the pictures of your tomato plants. It looks to me like possible over watering & if I was you I would take a pair of shears & carefully snip off those lower limbs that are getting wet & muddy when they are watered. Otherwise they can get a blight that travels up the whole plant. When watering try not to get the leaves wet. Tomatoes are touchy & they pick up disease easily with overhead watering.

My chickens are sick. I finished feeding and water when I noticed a tolbunt walking in circles. I got her and cut her top so she can see. Didnt matter. eyes swelled shut. In one freaking day ! I didnt check the others but could tell by the way they were acting the tolbunts and jubs are effected. They could use some tylan but today I dumped their water and made them some denaguard water Pretty sure I know why. Sounds crazy but when they were sick a couple yrs back I suspected the same cause. My grass. Last 4-6 days I have been pulling weeds and cutting them up w/ scissors to fed them. None of the serama or babies in the barn are sick and some in the LF coop arent but the best ones are.

It could be the MG. Give the Denagard a chance to work.
Most times chickens won't eat things that are bad for them. Mine have been around oleander and tomatoes... I've seen them taste, but never eat the leaves. If you were feeding them just grass, I can't believe that caused the problem, unless there are pesticides of some sort.

MG can be transmitted from the grass where the wild birds have been. Or CRD can anyway. I say they got sick really fast but then I remembered the head shaking.

My dumb birds will even pick tomato leaves. Never killed them, but they aren't allowed out after the gardens are planted. They got put away earlier than normal this year, but the were destroying my flower beds. My poor plants look like little islands. There is no dirt left around the clumps of plants. They are in desperate need of some mulch soon.

I'm praying you have better luck at getting CCL hens then I did last spring.
Couldn't get a soul that wanted roosters, not even the CCL. I lost count after 20 of the CCL roosters I culled last year. That's why I got away from the auto sexing breeds. It's much easier selling straight run versus knowing their roosters.

I came upstairs to move some quail eggs into lockdown . I juggled eggs around some and started to move them, then noticed they are already hatching! So i just poured a bunch of water in and took out the other eggs i had in there! First eggs to start hatching in my home made bator, i usually move them out to hatch.
