how goes things in your neck of the woods?
Hi Penny, things are pretty good here. I have 39 chickens (counting roosters & pullets) plus 3 meat chickens that are ready to be butchered ( well, I'm ready to butcher them, they probably aren't in any hurry :lau).
I have some kind of itchy rash on both arms and both knees. At first I thought it was poison ivy, but it doesn't look or act like it. I do think it is some kind of plant rash though. Fortunately, it isn't itchy ALL day, just during random parts of the day :he.
I leave on July 8th to accompany my Mother on a trip. We were suppose to go to Brian Head, Utah, but due to forest fires that was canceled. So now we are going to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I think that will be a better trip for my mom. She uses a walker or a wheel chair and I think she will be able to see & do more in New Mexico than in the mountains of Utah I haven't been to either place before, so I'm good with whatever.

We'll be gone until the 13th and my Mom will turn 82 on the 15th!
I did have a chick hatch out under the broody, but it didn't dry or fluff. It was dead when I found it. :mad: She is still sitting on 3 other eggs, but I don't know if they are going to hatch or not. I really need to go candle them.

14 eggs today

How is everything going with you?
 
45 egg layers yielded 40 eggs today. A week ago they were on strike with only 12 out of possible 45 hens. That lasted about 4 days. But it was raining cats and dogs for days and they stayed bunched up in the house stressing each other out.
 
Wow.

One egg today....

My Jersey Giant/Easter Egger crosses laid one egg and ate it.... uh oh.

My broody hen laid one egg, finally.

And.... I have another broody hen sitting on all my eggs. I have room, but not sure if I have time! I'm comsidering stopping her, but she looks so cute there! Lol.
