I'll be interested in other responses on this one, but I do believe that could be from any of your brown egg layers. In the picture it looks like it's not so much a speckled egg as it is just an oddly pigmented egg. Lacking pigment in some areas. IME it tends to happen with high production breeds more so than others. I had an ISA Brown hen that was especially prone to it. I never really looked it up but I think, just like pigment decreases (eggs get lighter) the longer and more prolifically a hen lays, it's just one of those things. I could, of course, be wrong.

I will look at the egg closer but it seemed to be on top of the shell like the speckling of my turkey eggs. I really just thought it was pretty.

CY the vultures won't hurt your chickens or turkeys. My turkeys can actually tell the differance now between the hawks and vultures and rarely alarm the flock about them anymore. I think it's the circling soaring pattern they have compared to the stay in one spot thing the hawks do. Or at least that's my observation.

I'm praying that my uber intelligent (NOT) turks can learn to tell the difference! Ever since that thing came circling around the coop they won't come outside! BTW that ladys house was well over 500 ft from where he was shooting. I think calling the authorities was totally unnecessary, she could've just came out and asked us to stop. We couldn't tell if it was a vulture or a hawk or just a huge starling. From what we've heard from the other neighbors, she isn't the most social person. Its crazy, you'd think that people out in the rural areas would be nicer than city folk, turns out they're even worse sometimes. They seems very touchy about their property. One of our neighbors put TWO private property signs out for us and I'm pretty sure they're on my property. Maybe I'll just turn them around. We're looking at getting our land surveyed soon just to make sure bc we plan on planting lots of crops next year.

Good Morning Everyone!
I have to work nights tonight- ha! I will be sleeping in a corner by 8:30...my body doesnt know how to stay awake past that point.
I have a question for you all-
how do I find out where my property line is SUPPOSED to be?
My neighbors behind me lost their house- its bank owned now and the neighbors are in the process of moving out. My husband says the fence is wrong- and we actually own about ten yards further back than we actually have. I would like my property back.

I have no idea how to do this.

keyt, my brother has offered to bring the cayugas to Jackson tomorrow evening if that works for you!

Property description on the deed from your purchase will have the information you need. You can also get it township clerk office. Some times it is wise to have your property resurveyed to insure that the location irons are in place.

Good morning to all, Hope your day is better than mine... I have been going through a rough time for a while now. I have 4 beautiful grown children, but one of my daughters that is living with me temporarily with my grandson (because of separation) has a chip on her shoulder. She can be at times rude,she is often out of control... and for some reason... I don't seem to know what to do. My hubby doesn't help.. ( he has lost his way also)... Seems I am spinning and spinning trying to keep my head above the water...keep the family going and on track.. while I feel like I am sinking emotionally and physcially

Try to take care of yourself first and foremost. Take time for yourself and TRY (I know, I am a Mom too) not to worry about what they are doing. You will be in my prayers that things will just fall into place for you!

I would tell your daughter that's living in Your home and eating Your food to watch out or she'd be in the street. Yes, she is going thru a very difficult time, but that does not give her the right to take it out on you. Tell her she needs to grow up and behave herself. You are there to support her in any way she needs and you don't deserve to be treated like that! Tell her she needs to respect you or out she goes! Sincerely, Mean Mom...

Ditto!

I have also come to the conclusion that it is true that "you can make some of the people happy all the time but you cannot make all the people happy some of the time".
