Got a call from Dd #1 tonight. Her cousin was going to mow their property, and decided to go out to the far "shed". Years ago, it was used as a produce stand. It's on the far side of the property, with it's own entrance. It hasn't been used in years, and is just sitting out there. Well, when her cousin looked in the shed, he got a surprise. He called the law. He found lots of syringes, pill bottles for mental medications, and tarps hung up to section it off, as into rooms, cans of food, and lots of garbage. There were cardboard signs saying "Will work for food", and "Homeless-please help". Obviously they've been living there for quite awhile. The deputies are running the names, and prescription numbers on the pill bottles. It took 3 people about 4 hours to get it cleaned up, after the deputies left. They're having it torn down, and hauled away tomorrow.

She lives right next to her grandmother's house. I'm so grateful my daughters, or grandkids didn't go into that area, and encounter any of the people residing in there. Especially since the grandmother, and my daughter have sworn they've been hearing noises outside.

ack! scary !

Maybe the feed here is deficient in something? Or the locals have had less-than-dark-laying stock? I know when the feed stores stock Marans it's of the Cuckoo variety, so perhaps they have gotten washed out shell color. Clients have definitely wanted to see eggshells before committing.
I do know when I have attempted to hatch Marans eggs from afar they don't do as well as non-Marans eggs from the same altitude. Could be that the browning dye bloom substance lessens the pores and air exchange isn't as good, but more than likely lower altitude eggs just have different porosity. Really sad when only one Marans hatches and you have to cull it because it is oxygen-deprived handicapped.


Thank you, chickadoodles! And they have great personalities, too. Love my roo! If I open the coop and he's inside, he just goes to the far corner and sits down. Wonky but wonderful. The hens are all over me and Stew keeps a respectful distance. DH has even commented on how friendly this flock is compared to the last batch.... I suspect because I didn't let DH do his Godzilla impression on these chicks.

I think they are gentle natured birds. Its wonderful that your rooster is so respectful of you.

I only had a few marans but I loved how sweet they were.

That happens a lot here. 15 years ago the K mart closed and left the building empty. It became a drug and homeless place too
