I was glad to see the fish and chips recipe/instructions on Mary's blog. It looks really good.

I think this will make Broody #9 or 10 this year. I've had so many, I've lost count.

I lost a project hen who was egg bound. I saw her in the nestbox with my broody yesterday and she looked distressed. It was super hot and humid so I thought she was just overheated and would lay her egg and get back in the shade outside. I found her this morning in the same position, except she was dead. Her vent area is very swollen like an egg got stuck and the feathers around the vent are missing. That was all the exam I was willing to do since flies were gathering. Sorry for the graphic details. I am forgoing taking her to UCD for necropsy as it is pretty obvious what happened. Two losses this weeK due to reproductive issues.

That's a bummer Mary. I'm sorry.

Ohhh, so sorry for your loss, Mary. I hate it when things like that happen.

I love the time lapse videos!

 

[gryeyes]

Oh, that's so sad, Mary.

House hunting is so frustrating....

Bixby house is under contract now. Going to look at plan B again on Thursday but I'm still not sold on it. Printed off a few more listings....

 

[The Sheriff]

OH sorry Rinda. The right one will come along.

Been running up and down to the basement all day. Michael installed shelving for me to store the serving pieces and props for my food photography. It will be so much easier to have it on open shelving where I can see what I have. All this stuff has been in three drawers and two cabinets in my vintage hutch. I am going to add one more shelf at the bottom for some larger pieces.

That was awfully nice of him. Good job Michael!
