Yep, we got one of those too, but too late to help Pearl.

It's come in handy more times than I can count!

Aren't they the best?

I did a necropsy for a friend and found these in the gizzard (they were not the cause of death):











Edited to fix major typo.

I roll the big magnet over the ground near the barn and coop every year, and find amazing things (old farmstead). It's hard to manage every single nail/ screw when building, and they reappear every spring! One nail can kill a horse, not to mention the chickens, and I'm paranoid about it. That doesn't mean it will ever be clear ground! Mary
