Ok I have to somehow crawl up the hill & plug in a pump........to fill alot of gallons of water here~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bad knee has been keeping me from it~~~~~~~~~~~~
That & the fact that I am totally alone here.

Backing up a bit.....VF was here today and what a wonderful young man he is !
Intelligent and informative, I awaite his many links on permaculture, and other ways of farming & gardening... what a beautiful person he is !
Wished his DW could have been here, but anyways, I totally enjoyed talking to him....he should be home soon, with his stash of pullets

OK I picked another 6 pounds of green beans today after VF left~~~




The big container is 1 1/2 gallons...the small SS bowl hordes what I had to put in my pockets after the tupperware bucket was full.
These are ROMAS.............climbing, meaty, no strings and awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw, I'm sorry Robin!

Do you know what happened?

FirewifeJess and FlyRobinFly, I'm so sorry on your losses.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It just sucks because he was to be the basis of my Silkie flock.

I'm not really sure what happened. He had a mite infestation (no one else had or has any) that would not go away, or rather would get better but always return. Eprinex, Permectrin II, DE, lots of cleaning, nada. I just got some Sevin powder from KMHunter, but he was gone before I could dust him. He also had a weird hole on his body that looked like a bacterial infection or perhaps a cyst or tumor had burst. It was thoroughly disinfected and treated, and did not get better but did not really improve. He also lost a lot of weight, and stopped crowing altogether, which may sound like a blessing but probably meant he felt too weak to do so.

I considered taking his body to the WSU avian lab for a necropsy, but didn't want to leave him there. I buried him with my rose bushes, where he used to like to go sun himself and graze.
