Ugh. Dog just got skunked again! Bo has more street smarts and stays back, Layla is the protector and all trespassers must be attacked. Out of peroxide, so washed her with orange Castile soap and baking soda. Good enough for now. I'm tired!

Most can be told apart right away... others within a few days or so... got pics?

I will get some decent head shots when I put them back inside.

Someone asked how many eggs a broody can handle. This is somewhere between maximum and too many.

Haven't been getting eggs for the last few days so I moved shadows. She had 12 when she started sitting, now there are 20 so that's why we haven't had any. They hadn't been previously marked so I marked the ones that are there today, so I can collect newer eggs if they keep getting added.

I went to check on my little rescue chick this evening and he's doing great! I was so happy he made it and is doing good!! Also, my neighbor pulled out an egg from under the other broody and handed it to me. It was zipping!!! I talked to it and it peeped back at me! Amazing!!

My neighbor has a sick chicken that can't keep it's balance. It keeps falling over and can't walk. It came out of my mouth before I could stop it: "Meraks". After Don's lesson, that's all I could think of. My neighbor who has had chickens for 50 years, has never heard of it. I'm leaning towards vaccinating anymore chicks I hatch. I don't know what's wrong with his chicken but it could be, right?
Eta:spelling. Don't wanna give SC any fuel in the morning.

It is possible but zorrow has that issue but has none of the other signs or symptoms of mareks, and gets better for about 48 hours if we give her a hot bath.
