I know this is a chicken forum, but I thought you guys would appreciate these pictures! Thelma and Louise (Thelma is wearing the pink necklace). It is hard to tell their size, but the chickens are bigger than they are! So far, they are very sweet. The bottle feeding is going well, but getting up in the middle of the night to feed, might do me in!

OMG they are so Adorable!!

Quote: Honestly? An opossum is the only thing I see that matches the body. Not that I studied her, but I knew to look for the head, and see if her vent was there. It looked like she was torn open with hands (raccoon doesn't fit). I am curious why her? She is the smallest in size, but the cross beak is an EE, and not much bigger. The other bantam is a rooster. He is a jerk, and would have fought. I am pretty sure she sleeps on the floor. Others do too, but even with the roosts so low (for her) IDK if she was able to get up there.

Quote: I give both. My fruit pie and pie for the chickens like above. The chickens get oatmeal I make just for them, with diced apples I buy for them (or even my apples I feel too guilty to eat) raisins, and usually brown sugar and a splash of milk. I love oatmeal, but make it more often for them.

Quote: The dog stays in the truck with my husband for a month or so at a time. I only get to eat the whipped cream myself when he is gone. This past week, the dog really did eat almost the whole can himself.

Would you say no to him?

5 of the G.Comet girls laid and one of the EE girls laid. So my egg total for the day was 6! Woo Hoo!

Quote: lol, I use Mylee's old toothbrush! it's Tinkerbell shaped on the end, wings open... really stirs it good, but I would never had told anyone if you didn't say it first!

Not nice threatening someone that their chicken is going to turn into Roger! Ha ha!
I was brushing my teeth while waiting for the computer to boot up. I realized that I was so tired I actually forgot to get my coffee. When the coffee was ready, I had my (rinsed) toothbrush in my hand. It worked.

Would you believe I feel worse about killing an animal on purpose than finding a dead chicken? I was carrying the body around in one hand while looking for egg hiding spots. I think it is because I could distract myself from the reality.
Thank you, everyone for caring.

well I got 7 eggs today, one of them is the crazy shape egg with odd color, it is only 10:00 when I went out so there maybe more this afternoon, a couple of my hens think they are going to set on eggs, this is not a good time to do that so I got bite again.

Guess the chickens aren't happy about the rain. Only one egg yesterday, but oddly, 3 girls were sleeping in the nest boxes last night. Maybe I will find 3 eggs this morning!

More rain for the rest of today. It's all soaking in and we're only getting about an inch, but even a little is better than none. Traffic has been horrible from all the little accidents from the slippery wet roads. Happens every year with the first rain of the season. You'd think people would learn!

Then there's hope for her yet lol It would be much easier I think if I had multiple ladies that were near time to lay then I wouldn't be dependent on one lady's temperament.

Yeah, that sounds suspiciously like putting all your eggs in one basket.
