with 60 some hens I should be getting about 40 or so a day. But it has been cold and a lot of them are pretty featherless on their backs. Been giving them extra meat protein and fats figuring they need it to grow new feathers out of season and combat the cold. It makes sense in my little world anyway. How many babies are you up to now keepsmum??? Can't wait for the big hatch there Cheyenne. Say granny how about ordering some hatching eggs for your tolbount polish rooster. Is he frizzeled also?? Well off to do some laundry will check in latter. TTFN

i have been keeping an eye on my tolbunt frizzle and i dont think he knows what to do. there is something wrong with him. he wont climb a ladder or even try to perch even 4 in. off the ground. hes afraid of heights ! lol i dont think he will be a daddy, he wont"go for the gold". this person i found that had a hen also had hatching eggs and , dont quote me, i think they were 100 dollars each. was thinking about shaving his feet and see if it will make a difference. have to wait for a little warmer weather though. Twisted acres, what do eggs sell for there? around here they are between 2-250 a dozen

Littlest didnt make it, the other four are Hilarious! Rest are no go. The humidity might be a factor, also the way he favors one hen.
Had to put my rabbit down yesterday. Flystrike again, the vet said she was very old and figured digestive issues might be causing it.
Very sad, havent told kiddlets. We have a large pet cemetary, it just feels like one too many right now.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

im sorry. i wouldnt want to tell them. what is fly strike? i think you may have told me already, i have forgotten

 

[teradragon]

flystrike is when flies lay eggs in an animal... then they hatch and... well yeah.
