+1 on all of this. And you can't get upset when someone whips out a duck penis.


There might be *stuff* in the eggs of new layers. For the first few months when I started getting eggs I'd crack them into a ramekin before adding them to a pan or recipe. Somethings there's "meat" in it. It's easier to scoop out those bits before you add it. Some people don't mind it, but personally, I do.


I think that was her irish coffee talking.


Mine come running when they see a bucket too, but sometimes buckets are their eggs and they start pecking and look at me like WTF?


I get some very round eggs that don't really fit into egg cartons, even the jumbo ones. It's weird. I've gotten a couple that were huge, I want to get a scale so I can start weighing them.
I get about 50 eggs a week and I just traded 3 1/2 dz eggs for 7 pumpkins. If they're going to eat a ton of food they can at least pay for it themselves.

Yes, they all seemed okay. I do have pne hen, Dahlia (BR that is baby Eve's mother) who seems to have a mild case of ascites for about 1-1/2 weeks now. Other than having a bit of fluid in her backside and occasional poo stuck on her feathers she eats and acts fine. I hesitate to do anyting because it sounds like there is no real tried and true cure for it. I have soaked her twice and stuck my finger in her rear once, but didn't find anything unusual.:sick

@pitbullmomma :wee yayayayay!! You got one! :bow

I had to cover my poor Lucy with Pick No More. Literally covered her in the stuff. Then realized she's wet and cold! Crap, had to make her a little caged in area in the coop so she could dry. Put some of that Pick No lotion in my palm and called the other girls over to test whether they would be disgusted by the taste. Oh yes, they hated it! I must admit, I tasted it too, its not THAT bad. :oops:

:lau sounds like something I would try
 
Aww poor Dahlia she still laying through it? One old folk remedy for that is sulphur mixed with the feed. Not going to lie I've tried it and it dried the girl right up and it didn't come back. Sometimes old crazy cures are the best cures. :)

You'd be welcome. Got to have strict rules for that thread though. Got to talk to the chickens. Got to have a morning outfit that a bag lady would scold you for. Got to have at least one bodily chicken function on you by 9am . And most importantly you cannot at any point and time have a stick up your butt.:)

I had to shower and change clothes, as I had to go "out in public" and I was pushing Day Something with no shower (can't remember -- that's how bad it was), same heinous clothes.

It's getting so bad that all I do is shower and boyfriend asks, "What are you getting all fancy for?" buhahaha!
 
Must be a serious boyfriend, sounds like you aren't fishing anymore. This is coming from a woman who's been married 22 years and hasn't been man fishing in a very long time. :)
