Texas

Have y’all noticed a steep drop off in egg production in the past week? I use supplemental light (6am-8pm) and until 7-10 days ago I was getting 5-7 eggs per day from my 7 girls. Now I am getting 2-4 per day. Nothing else I can think of has changed other than the cold front we had earlier in the week.

Mine seem to have slowed down, however, I have way too many hens to be bothered by it as I have to drive mine off for donations weekly still. We probably have 10 pounds of eggs on top of the fridge I need to get rid of. We do have dogs and they race us to them as well should the hens not lay them in a box. You can tell when a dog got to eggs though by their nasty breath and sulferous farts.

Of course I can't even imagine exposing my private parts in this cold to push out an egg. So the chicken are acting smart.

I am much more concerned with the non consentual dog kisses though they seem to come fastest as you wake up and pee, but to me a face/mouth full of dog tongue is just gross.

So we got our hands on Morla, but DW thought is was too traumatic shaving her head. She was named after a tourtise and didn't disappoint today either. She got a partial head shave.
I then moved on to a roo and still have dander in my nose I am sure it was not an effective head shave even after using the good kitchen scissors. WTH is up with this 5mph wind stuff? It usually blows in from the SE at 20 or more..

Ok so today is my birthday. I am like 51 or so but have heard from my Jeep dealer. Yes I want a Gladiator but my wife won't allow me to trade in the Wrangler. We probably couldnt give in the Renegade for free.
Happy birthday to you!

Extra tacos for dinner.
 
And Breakfast! After the silkie haircuts, they are well earned!

Mucho caliente!
You guys are so smart! I am going on a taco hunt. Wish me luck! I may have to settle though for those little corn wrapped things called... man I am drawing a blank.

Late edit-- duh, tamales. Extra Salsa for me!

Ok so I was lazy and taco hunted over the phone. I got hung up on the first time as I do not speak espanol. The second time I used my official name "el gringo" and some barely passable spanglish but the kucina is closed:barnieSo I'm thinking tamales are the only option for something spicy man those require so much hot sauce.
