Thank you, I'll live, must have had a bug, still have a dull headache but until I get 9 more years under my belt I still have to trudge to work everyday...grateful to have a job but envious of the rich folks that dont need one!!! Hope everyone has a great day

We are off on vacation for a week.

SE....I'm sorry you have been under the weather. I hope you feel lots better now. I think my BR hen is having a problem with the heat and I don't expect her to last very much longer. Sometimes no matter what you do they just aren't strong enough to recover. Sorry about yours.

How is your hen Leeps? The rest of mine seem fine and I had 2 eggs yesterday, one up from my normal in this heat, lol!​

She died yesterday, Scrambled. She was the sweetest hen too. We had to put down my Royal Palm tom late last week, too. He has always had a leg problem but last week it got to the point that he could hardly walk. Up until then he hadn't seemed in pain. It would have been selfish of me to keep him alive. I miss him. He was the only Royal Palm I had.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Oh leepsy, I'm so sorry for you. I tried to put turkey eggs in the bator and none hatched. I felt so bad I can’t imagine the pain your in.

Here is something to get your mind off your loss Leeps....yesterday when I got home, I went to the chicken coop as usual to let them out a bit and change their water. They haven't been laying but an egg a day or everyother day but there was one at the foot of the ramp they go to the nesting boxes up..never, in 2 1/2 years has an egg been laying there, ever, weird place I thought as I reached to pick it up...and as I did, thank you God, I looked up and a freaking SNAKE was looking at me from the nest box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a need to change your underwear!!! Scared me sooooo bad! The hens were already out of the pen but my smallest dachshund was in there with me, she did not see it but I got her out and closed the door and called my husband in a frantic fit to come home. In 24 years of living here, we have never had a snake, not even my neighbors. I thought it was the owl that had been taking care of my rat problem!! The snake kept moving around in there and I was in a panic it would crawl off and out and I would never be able to go back out there for not knowing where it was so I got stupid and got a 50 gallon bucket and slid it halfway under the nest boxes and got a potato rack and dragged him out and he plopped into the bucket...never occurred to me ..till later he could stretch up and bite me!! then I dragged the bucket outside the coop and it was a rat snake with a whole egg in it!!! 4 1/2 feet long and ticked off. DH got home pretty quick and it was stretched out and climbed over the side of the bucket whcih totally freaked me out and it slithered so fast to the chicken pen and dove through the wire...but..that egg made it get caught halfway through so he grabbed it with a set a long grill tongues and threw it in the bucket. I wanted him to take it down the road and dump it out and let it live with someone else but it got so scared and aggressive it came out of the bucket again and I was terrified it would hide somewhere and come back in the coop again..it is a miracle I didnt cram my hand in that box right on it..any other day I sure would have, that egg on the ground saved me from that..he had to kill it though, my sanity or the snake and I've lived here longer. I dont care much for killing things but that snake fear is a bit irrational anyway. I was shaky and freaked out all evening...I live in a NEIGHBORHOOD, not wild kingdom!!!! Geez!!! A new adventure everyday!!

SE glad you are ok. You are not the only one seeing snakes this year they are bad this year and they have no thought for our feelings at all LOL.

Sorry you had to kill it but I understand the snake or me very well.
