I have a blue copper maran who lays a dark brown, one time she laid a purple. Can you imagine if she did that everyday?

Inkwell was low on her that day .. My guess anyone else want to take a chance ? Guess ?

The bile wasn't building up in the eggshell that day? I'd watch to see what her next eggs are like.

Welsummer's 1st egg... and how she lays now...

The spread has been slow, I thought we were out of the woods maybe but another case today.

Birds are so very angry I won't let them out. Only Molly and the chicks have touched grass as I let them step 1 foot out their door. It's protected there so should be safe.

I will admit use bleach to spray our feet but birds go out in their yard .. Have used the co2 pistol to scare a few birds.

Glued to it, no, but I make sure to check every few days.

Our flock seems to have accepted that they're not going out any time soon - no fussing and they've stopped pacing by the fence. We still stick to the schedule we had and go out to clean up twice a day, but we change boots just before the run entrance.
