No he's got the internal furnace running while he sleeps. Gets it from me according to Mary. Judging by how cold her feet get I'd have to agree.

Ugh. I just walked back out to the chicken area and my son’s favorite chicken, a 2 year old black Orpington, passed away. Her name was BlackHood. (My son names 95% of our chickens, so they have interesting names.)

She was a ginormous bird that never laid a single egg in her short life, and looked like a rooster (saddle feathers, huge comb, and spurs - no crowing though.) Last year I had her DNA tested to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind, and it came back as a female.

She started breathing through her mouth about a week or so ago. But no other symptoms. I cleaned out the whole coop and switched from sand to shavings to see if maybe it was too dusty for her. And then I treated for a respiratory infection, but she didn’t really have any other symptoms of that. Then I read about gape worm and treated her with safeguard this weekend. She looked a little better today, and was even walking in the garden with me up until 2 hours ago.

What did I miss??

Snack time for the bantams. Today they get soft boiled duck eggs with sardine.
