How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Sequel]

Oh no! My light Brahma is down. She didn’t come out with the others and when I found her she was in the corner. She won’t stand. She feels light weight but not skin and bones. I lost her sister a few months ago to reproductive issues.

Sucks the joy right out of the day.

Oh no! I’m so sorry!

She just died. Poor girl. At least it was relatively quick so little to no suffering.

On the plus side 13 eggs so far today.

Really sorry @jlwquilter

Lovely green egg!

5 today

Thanks! (As if I laid it myself). I am still on cloud nine about it, even though she didn't lay today.

7 today. I think one is a Buttercup egg. It's a bit bigger than the bantam eggs. Would you say it's larger bantam or Buttercup? The only other standard breeds in this flock is a Welsummer.

 

[bruceha2000]

Def not a Welsummer, they lay a medium to dark brown. If it is a big banty egg then OUCH!

Sticking with the 13 eggs out of now 16 hens. Both EEs did not lay again today. But they’re acting fine so hopefully they’re just taking a break. I do hope they lay tomorrow so I stop worrying - lol.

Chicken sitters came over today to debrief. Apparently it all went fairly smoothly - yea! My feed bin feeder did go bad as in moisture got inside. They think it was from condensation. That’s a problem! So have to look at it and see what’s going on. Maybe 3 weeks is too long for it to be closed up in high heat and humidity.

AC condenser bit the dust. 7 years old. Rest of unit is 15 years old. Probably will get a new on installed tomorrow. It’s a big hit on top of the vacation costs - grr. But what can you do. At least we have a window unit we bought earlier this year for after hurricanes when the power stay out for days and weeks. We have that in place in the bedroom and cranking so we are cool to sleep.

Have to finish the health checks on the rest of the hens too. Only got a handful done but overall they were good.

Tomorrow is a new day!
