Granny's gone and done it again

Just tell them to keep their dogs on their property. Luckily, the only runaway dogs we have gotten didn’t bother the chickens. Mostly just a collie that comes every so often. Owners were really apologetic. They are having a hard time containing him tho.View attachment 3095208View attachment 3095210

He's a beauty. But then I'm prejudiced!

Another OE. The second OE to die on me. She is the one that was in my previous pfp. The only one with brown eyes. The one I really loved.

Very weird death too. She was fine the night before but was found dead under the roost the following morning. No sign of trauma at all. She was laying on her back with her feet stretched out. None of her crop contents came up. No wounds, no blood, no weird smells. Her crop was empty (as it should, since she didn’t get the chance to eat that morning). With that being said, I have no idea what caused her death. Perhaps I should’ve done an autopsy. Oh and she was still laying eggs regularly, so don’t think it was a reproductive issue. It wasn’t particularly hot or cold that day either. Perhaps it was heart failure. Whatever it was, my sweetie didn’t deserve it, she didn’t even make it to her first birthday.

Thank you.

Oh golly Cherry, I hope it wasn't AI.

Wow, it's 101 outside and supposed to hit 106 tomorrow and 104 Sunday. Dang. Fortunately only 7% humidity right now.

We will be in the 90's Tuesday and Wednesday. Wish we only had 7% humidity!

I'll say good night now.

I need that! Outside. So tired of cats going potty in my garden. I can't plant anything down in that area.

My cat pees in my chickens dust bathe. (And occasionally, has pooped)

Sounds like the heart.

Harvesting sure is fun. Perhaps I’ll put together a salad one of these days. Goats enjoyed some too.
