Yeah!!! I went out and found another egg!! Yeah, I know new crazy chicken lady.
I went out to check on them cause it raining and thundering. Ok, I will also admit it I check for eggs at least 6 times a day at this point. Like I said crazy chicken lady that's me.

Briana, I'm a sucker for checking ALL the time too! If I'm home, I'll be out there a minimum of 4 times a day!

Actually, it has helped me identify which hens lay which eggs! A true addiction!

You should have been down this way a week ago sunday. Its started raining saturday afternoon and didnt stop until aprox 6 am Sunday morning. The storm were horrible. Worse I've seen in my lifetime. We ended up with just short of 13 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Its sad to see what happened to all the homes along the path of our lake and dam when it broke. And where we are, you cannot get flood insurance as we are not in a flood plane. And in this area, most dont have jobs anymore unless you farm.

I was one of the lucky ones with only a wet basement where the water ran under the walk-out door and my horse barn flooded and ran out the back and into my pond. Was pretty scary having both grandbabies and trying to find a road around me that didnt have wave of water raging over it or trees down across the road where they washed out. Took me over and hour to get out of here with the help of a neighbor showing me where to go to get out.

Needless to say... I pray we dont get hit hard, this community cannot take any more drama or disaster.

And I have to pay for flood imsurance because I within the Lake Michigan Flood - assessment from 1950!! Do you realize HOW much Lake Michigan would have to rise before it even could flood!

It is a terrible thing though when stuff like that happens and there is nothing a person can do to stop it.

Babs...I've got Welsummer eggs in the incubator, due to hatch on Tuesday. I'm sure I'll have an extra roo if you can't find one.

I've got several young white Silkie chicks right now, but I'm not ready to "cull" any of them yet. It's going to be a few more weeks.

I tried that. But it killed another chick. I guess its just clumsy? The best I can do for it right now is put it where it can see other chicks. I don't know what else to do.

Give it a little stuffed toy we do that a lot

Thats a good idea thanks. He can't kill that

I thought about it, but I didn't think raw squid would make it through four days in California and 8 hours of flying

. I'm going back in December. Come with me! We'll eat squid and talk to famous people

Sorry, just can't do squid! Or octopus!! YUCK!

Its really not that bad as long as you go to a restaurant that knows how to prepare it properly.
