That hen is an escaped lab experiment, im pretty convinced of it now. She laid that 120 something gram egg and now coneheads. Im sending Smuv a couple Marlene eggs too I think, she likes weird stuff.:gig

Oh goodie.... I get some eggs from Super Derp!!!! :wee

Hey y'all, coffees on, tea in the cabinet, pancakes and French toast made, use can use the toaster to heat them up. Syrup and nutella are on top of the fridge, cream cheese is next to the butter on the counter, cereal in the cabinet, along with some almond milk for the non dairy people, and let me know what I'm running low on so I can get it next time I'm at the store.

Enjoy, and hope each one of you, and the DHs, DWs, MDs, PICs and other family members, furred, feathered or other, have a great day.

DH said, why don't we go to Shoneys for brunch before the movie?! I said NO WAY.... I never miss Anansi's breakfasts! :hugs

Double checked for creepy crawlies today. All good there. But....one of the boys seems to have an issue with his oil gland. I couldn’t get pictures. He wasn’t happy being handled let alone held and examined.
I noticed before he seemed to hold his tail a little different. And it looked like his feathers around where his oil gland is were over oily. So today I grabbed him and looked. It was a little red and I could feel the gland under the nipple part. I squeezed it a little, which he really didn’t like, and dark yellow oil came out. It smelled of strong ode de chicken but not infection.
A search here and I found threads about possible infections/impactions but mostly people who thought it was a growth.
Should I try and express it a little more? Warm compress? I’ll try to get pictures later once he’s gone to roost and everyone can’t see the indignity of it all. I don’t want him to be embarrassed.
I just(as in two days ago) figured out what an oil gland was. When I gave Dove a bath, we found it and were a little creeped out, but decided it was just a funky feather. Two days ago I was researching an unrelated topic and found an article about it. Was very releived!
