Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

My hen with the prolapse got worse yesterday so I put her down. Hatchery birds are just turning 3 yrs and I have lost 3 out of 9. It will be interesting to see if the Ameraucanas from the breeder will be longer lived.

Sorry to hear you had to put her down.

I've had the satellite internet for 3 years now, so I'm getting pretty good at it now, usually only 2 or 3 jumps gets it all off. with broken tootsies, I was somewhat hesitant, and quit after 2. it was still a little snowy, but the signal did come back!

LOL, my busted toes, complete with a cat hair...and sock fuzz... this was not long after I did it... I was climbing the gate between the kitchen and living room and what with my crappy balance, I smashed the trailing foot in to the gate. 6 hours later, it was purply black and I remembered that I have arnica ointment. been using it ever since, and the it is much much better.

Quote: yep! a store bought egg Pie is certainly due!! Congratulations on the almost perfect dozen! my girls have yet to break a dozen since resuming

mine have been given s 29 to 32 eggs a day for 4 days so i gave them all a pie, my new chickens did not act like they have ever had one, when i walk in the yard mine jump in the pan before i get to put it down, the new chickens did not come running for it, i gave them in the coop so they got to eat it alone i can not wit till next time i make it to see what they do.
oh boy! will that be fun!!! it won't take long at all for them to recognize PIE!

Who wants to go on a cruise?

I'm so sorry for the devastating loss within your family.

I am dying for a vacation. I'd cruise!!

 
Ha ha! That was bad!
I bought her a walker a few days ago. Her grandmother told me she is just learning to go backwards. Imagine my surprise when I put her in the walker, and she chased me around the house! She has the walker down pat!

Cute...doesn't take them long to learn. Just wait until she graduates to walking...they'll be no stopping her then.

Sounds like fun! (Not the diaper part.) I remember my first guy would race across the kitchen in his walker and slam into the wall. WHAM! He would look kind of shocked, and then laugh and giggle hysterically.
