MJ's little flock

[Ribh]

4 dozen to give away is a good number. Will they go to families who need them or is it a first come, first served policy?

Everyone @ this church needs them so it's a 1st come, 1st served. Usually the pastor identifies those most in need & makes sure they get what they need.

And RC keeps four hens while I've lost count of how many Ribh keeps, somewhere around 74 I think

Twenty, MJ, only 20. And not all of them are laying.

Blossom very kindly helped me change the bed clothes by making a pre-emptive fur deposit on the quilt cover. She's such a diligent little house keeper

There are very few quiet moments on BYC, so instead of waiting for one, I'll just mention quietly that Janet appears to be slowing down in life.

She always does well at her checkups but she's nowhere near as feisty as she once was. She takes lots of Nanna naps.

I don't want anyone to be shocked when she goes, so I'm just giving a bit of a warning.

How old is she MJ?

How old is she MJ?

Not old at all really, 3 and a half, but she has always had a respiratory problem. She had it when I got her and it's slowly worsening. Mark hasn't suggested treatment for it, but I'll ask again at her next checkup.

I don't want people getting upset when she dies, so I'm just trying to warn everyone.

But if there any suggestions for treatment, I'm all ears.

I have soooo many eggs right now it's actually becoming a problem! A week ago, I went to a social function and foolishly *forgot* to take the eggs I'd boxed up

I gave away a dozen yesterday, which brought numbers back from "whaaat the heck..." to "ok, this is way too many eggs."

What a problem to have. I'm looking at 2 more months of no eggs.
