You guys!!!! She did lay her very first egg. It's the most beautiful blue egg I've ever seen!! I love it so much! Nobody else lays a true blue egg, all my EEs are green egg layers, even Martha with her very light Green-Blue egg. Sigh. I'm gonna spend the afternoon retrofitting the coop I guess!!

Congrats!

I've had a visitor all weekend! Apparently, the people who lived behind me moved out and left their poor lady in the shed with no water and a handful of cornflakes!

My inner fire raged at that. She wants in with my pullets in the coop, follows me around cackling at me until I pick her up. lol... she's almost like a dog. I can't tell, being uber newbie, how old she is or what she is! Q2: Can anyone help me? She's fully feathered, her coloring is still spectacular (no bleaching), her vent appears moist and pink, but her breast bone is rigid, and we found no indications of eggs in her abandoned coop and she hasn't laid any in my garage (where's she's made a new roost on top of my shelf).


Any ideas?

Speaking of: can I put her in with my pullets?

I don't know what she is, but I would definitely quarantine her for 30-45 days before putting her in with your pullets. You don't want her to pass any illnesses on to your pullets.

Are you using duck in place of beef for your cholesterol? Hi, I'm fairly new here. If so I would be very interested in any way to lower mine because I am allergic the the medications.

Well, we are using duck because we have so much of it. BUT, having said that, my Dr. has seen a drop in my cholesterol (mine was a wee bit high) since switching. I have also reduced egg intake to only about 2-3 a week; it used to be 2 a day for breakfast.

If you have a source for duck, you might try it. But make sure it's a lean breed, like muscovy or it won't make much difference.

See how lean this is? And it you take the skin off, there's barely any fat.

We went and spent yesterday with T Hi and her DD. I helped put up a few more Christmas lights and gave her the 3 BIG inflatables I had. We put them in her front yard seemed to make Toni pretty happy.
Due to some problems I wasn't able to get pics of her yard until after dark and then all my phone would show was a blur of light. Toni's DD did get this pic of Dyson and Quincy working together to put up lights.

That's awesome. I hope Toni, her daughter and Daffy have a fabulous Christmas.
