How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Good news on the egg laying. 14 today but included a soft leghorn egg again. That means only Ruby who is broody and Lily who just came off broody didn’t lay.

Bad news on Lily. She’s not well. She was fine yesterday. Today she separated herself, acts lethargic, no interest in food including scratch and grapes (she loves grapes) and worse, green bile poop. Gave her a health check. She looks great (color, eyes, mouth, etc) except her crop was balloon like. Felt like air but when gently massaged she threw up liquid. Quite a bit. So now I’m hoping it’s sour crop. It’s late so nothing more to do tonight. I’m going to go back out though and take the food and water out of the hospital. I’ll set my alarm for early so I can check her first thing.

Keep your fingers crossed for Lily and me!
 
I hope Lily recovers.

2 today and it looks like Betty (2 Y/O Welsummer) wants to go broody again. I had to move her to the roost from the community box tonight :he
It is supposed to be below freezing tonight, maybe that will change her mind.
