Well a sad night saying goodbye to my lovelies. Until next year.










Whoda thought my tropicals would make it to Dec 7th!

@Kassaundra. Are the leaves a form of castor? Very striking!

Yes, and the flower is the last bloom of a butterfly bush

You definitely have some beautiful flowers. I've enjoyed your photos. You also have a great knack for photographing them. @Kassaundra

I have a broody silkie hen with 7 babies that are 5 weeks old, she has started sparing with them and kind of chasing them, does this mean she is tired of raising them. Or is she just playing with them. She still calls them for food and things, it has just been the last couple of days I have noticed this.

My distended crop hen died today and without being too graphic I'd say that's the nastiest necropsy I've ever done. Either she was septic from some other infection or her crop had ruptured days ago and somehow she survived till today. I suppose it could have been leaking for a while, perhaps that's why it seemed it was emptying. I only did a necropsy out of curiosity as I was pretty sure what caused her death and there is a big part of me that wishes I had passed up the opportunity.

I'm really sorry to hear that. :c *HUGS*

So sorry for your loss and the trauma of the necropsy

We need to re-home our 3 SLW girls. I live in the OKC metro area. They were hatched end of March. They would likely do best in a free range setup, and I cannot provide that for them at the present time. We are not looking to sell, just to find them a rescue home. I wanted to try here first, before trying FB or CL. We realize we could cull them, but want to save that as a last resort. PM me if you'd like to try to help, or have questions about them. Thanks.
