The salamanders down here are bigger than the skinks lol! I'm suprised you don't have these in Ohio, it is skink city here skinks and anoles. I hate that one got his tail eaten but it was probably his fault, they kind of move it around like a lure to attract stuff to eat. No kidding though Dutch looked very much dead I squealed a little bit when she moved...dang zombie chicken.:lau

Molting hens... stupid autocorrect. My phone updated and forgot my normal vocabulary, so it assumes I'm a normal human being. I hate when phones get amnesia, now I have to train it all over again. :he

I had a laugh when I kept using the name Jen and it kept auto correcting to hen. :gig

Nice catch @CapricornFarm! Snake dinner and a new belt? :lol:
 
Update on my broody leghorn. I hatched out 5 Chocolate Orpington chicks in the incubator today. I've been incubator hatching because it was so hot that my broody hen eggs were going rotten on them.

I went out about 30 min before dark to give the babies to her. I wanted to watch and see if she would accept them. When I put the first baby in, she was shocked, but when I went to put the second baby in she flipped out and flew out of her nest box scattering the two babies. This is the way she's been any time I've gotten near the nest, she runs, squawking madly. So I decided to remove the eggs, put the babies in the nest and see what happens. She didn't want to go back in, and the babies were trying to crawl out of the box. So I caught her, putting babies back in the box as they kept popping out and shut her in. I wasn't too worried because she started making broody clucking noises. I peaked a couple times and she almost escaped again when I tried moving a chick back under her. So I left her alone for a bit and focused on putting the rest of the birds to bed. When I came back, this was her response to me trying to take a video of the chicks underneath her. She went from flighty to bitey. She didn't like my trying to move her to take a look at her babies.
