Nancy, my neighbor is from Hawaii. Well, not Carl, but his wife.
All the talk of chicken husbandry is very educational, the differing opinions is what makes it great to read. All points of view are interesting and make me glad that I am a small, if somewhat significant, part of this forum.
So, I got a nice surprise today. 7 eggs! So, all 8 girls are laying! AND, I have 2 green eggers so both my Australorp costumed girl and my little black Cochin muff faced mutt lay green!. I found 4 in the coop and then 3 in the garage nest box. So cool! The only one that did not grant me an egg today was Leila, but she laid one let yesterday afternoon, and 2 days in a row, so, I will not expect on today.
on a bad note, I had to rush my little guy to the hospital last night. He went to bed fine, and about 45 minutes later he woke all panicked because he could not breathe. I thought he was having an asthma attack or something. Poor kid has croupe..(sp?) I did not know it could strike that quick. Anyway, after xrays and an oral steroid, its like he was never ill. No fever, nothing. While thinking it was asthma, I quick gave him some cold coffee I had... We do not have anyone in the house with asthma, but I do have albuterol for my oldest, as he is prone to rsv attacks in winter. I am hoping to get thru this winter with out any. But Aiden is ok now so... Totally freaked me out though.
great pic tap. Poor Bella... You grinched her with antlers!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
touchpads are a pain in the butt with the auto correct!
