Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

My escapee slate hen has returned home all on her own!!!! JJ noticed her out around the pen & called me to help. I told him to put tom & the other hen inside the coop & open the pen door. We stood & watched for about 10-15 minutes as she slowly came closer & eventually started trying to find a way through the wire. We edged a bit closer from opposite sides of the pen & just kept her from walking on past us with our presence. She eventually walked right in the pen once she found the door. JJ hurried up & closed the gate & let tom & the other hen out. They are all 1 big happy family again. (Lucky for a man & a couple kids I knew Tom would call her back & we just needed to give her some time.)
 
Had to share this: My son has informed me that if we have too many roos, we will "need" to change someone's name to Buffalo (my fiance's and my favorite chick sauce). Think I'll be stopping by the wine store while we're walking around today....

Good morning from a bit East of you....  sounds like a busy Saturday for sure!
Cleaning a Cornish X pen is on the agenda here also :sick  
You should keep a camera handy during your surgery in case you find something strange you'd like to share or need to ask questions about. Experiences you can document can often help others facing similar strange situations.  Even if you don't post it now you will have it as reference later if someone asks about a similar situation.
Good luck on the exploratory surgery... hope you solve the mystery and your bird does well.



I had hoped someone else had encountered them and tweeted a pic a few days ago. Missy confirmed they were possibly ticks, but I am hoping they are just feather cysts. Here is the link to my original pic and I will let you know how it goes.

[COLOR=800000]I really wish you would all announce this ahead of time when you are going to do this, green dragon is quite a haul for me, but I would make the trip if I knew a bunch of you were going to be there..[/COLOR]

It was a very last minute decision, sorry wing! :(
Managed to win a couple things i bid on. Came home with a dozen Lady Amherst eggs and 4 turkey poults. No i idea what breed turkey though...hope its something neat. They are sooooo cute. Somehow Blarney behaved herself and brought home nothing! Although she did manage to get me turned on to fry pies, yum!
