Hey so I am looking barn plans over with Susan, and we both fell in love with this one.

It's a good size. I really like it. Ideas? Of course more windows would be needed.

How  about this picture of a beautiful English Shepherd protecting her rabbits, ducks and geese by making sure this racoon didn't get to far into her territory! 

  Steak dinner for her I say!  Love these English Shepherds!

She is beautiful! Good job, I do think the steak or raccoon steak is in order!

I like it, and agree with more windows needed.

Necropsy results are liver and spleen failure. Both were severely enlarged. Her heart was on the small side(yes even for a bantam). Crop had grit ad food in it, but not impacted or sour, I could squeeze the contents out. Her intestines were fine, just poo. No evidence of cocci overload. I did not take pics, just too hard when dealing with a chick. Teriyaki looked way different inside compared to Parmesano. She just had the blocked intestine. This is how I know what was too small and too big. Teriyaki was healthy except for the piece of meat that blocked her intestine. With another person close by me losing 7 of 8 chicks that came from M Best, I will not be getting anymore of her birds until she adds new lines(I don't think she will). I am going to send her an email with my findings.

I have a NN pullet that recently started to lay, first no shell for two days, followed by a very large egg. For the last two weeks she has laid a giant double Yorker every other day.......I'm thinking this is all her system getting going and more regular. This shouldn't be a problem, I think. Anyone get regular double yokes?

Yes. I have a pullet that layed perfectly first week. All double yolkers second week. Shelless eggs her third week. Now in her fourth week and laying one double a week and all others normal. I'm hoping she settles down next month.
