Wow! Long time no talk. We moved again. Back to middlesex. :-/ anywho, brought my cat over here yesterday. My mom has been caring for her so we could get things in place at the house. I saw kitty every single day tho. well...I thought eveything was going great for her with her move but then I awoke at 5 am soaked through the comforter and onto the mattress with cat pee!!!! She freaking peed on me!!!! On me!!!!!!!!!!! Not DH! But me. ugh. His side of the comforter and bed wasn't even wet! I put a little Clorox in the was sprayed comforter with resolve spot stain and odor remover and also put baking soda in the wash as well. I have sprayed the darned mattress with the resolve stuff too and got as much of the moisture out as possibly can. Now is there anything else I can do? She canny do this! DH was so upset. He already has an allergy to her but knowing how much I wanted her to be comfy it was his idea to let her sleep in the room with us. And I really don't wana get rid of her!!!

So sorry that you got peed on Sbrooks! Cats hate moving. Any disruption in their world can really upset them. Give her a few days to adjust and make sure she knows where the litter box is. It might be wise to add an extra box or two for the first few days. You don't want her to get lost looking for the bathroom when she needs to use it. If she doesn't improve within about a week, it might be wise to take her to the vet to rule out a urinary tract infection.

The Cape Fear Poultry Club that is putting on the Smithfield show
does have a FB page and a website. You should be able to find information
that you want in those 2 places. As for meeting up at the show.......great
idea but I should be clerking for a judge so can't do anything until after
all the judging is done but I do hope lots of you came and see all the
different breeds and what quality there is.........I enjoyed those first shows
I went to and learned a lot.

sanitizing them would be a good idea. I have different shoes I wear when i go out to see the chickens. I'm gonna try not to touch any birds and throw my clothes in the washer when i get home.

You won't have to worry about touching the show birds, as only the judges and the person that owns the show bird are allowed to touch them. The only birds that you could touch would be in the sale area.

It should be a lot of fun. I love seeing all the different eye candy that I don't have to feed.

Just have to show someone!! LOL I'm guessing that this had to be from a pullet who had not layed anything until yesterday, Went out to tuck everyone to bed and I always check the egg/nesting areas. Last nite THIS was in one nest. ..I felt something but had my work gloves on and wasn't sure....I had fun laughing and talking to the girls about this one,!

But they seem to care less. Haven't crack it for the omelette, yet.

I will take picts when I do.. betting it doesn;t have a yolk!
,
This is a teaspoon !!just to help show comparison.

This is the normal egg I got at the same time,
