Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Lost all but two Pekins. They’re doing just fine.

So sorry, but I'm glad the two are doing good!

Hey all, just so I don't receive a bunch of stupidity elsewhere, I need to ask about my almost 2 year old BO. She's hunched in a nesting box, vent is puckering and unpuckering, whitish, light greenish, grey ish discharge on her feathers. I tried to get a pic (she's not a terribly "people person" hen) and this is the best one.
Her abdomen seems a bit swollen, but with a finger check, I couldn't feel anything inside. I've not had an egg bound hen before, so is that what this is? Epsom salt soak? Or???

@WVduckchick @casportpony @Ravynscroft @sourland and anybody else on this thread with advice would be very welcomed! you "click" you.

I've never dealt with that before either, so no ideas. But I'm anxious to see what others say.

Sheesh.. auto correct does not use proper grammar... I always have to go back and edit everything.

Even when I go back and edit I still miss things and it seems my posts read as if written by a 9 yr old.

Morning Sour
As much as I hate cold and ice, if the pond freezes over can someone teach me to ice-skate? Have to wrap me in bubble wrap and insulation!

Not I..... Freaking bad ankles......I hurt my ankle in October and it's still swelled up and crunches when I walk.
Didn't go to the doctors as I didn't want a cast on it for deer hunting.
Hurts still.... Not real bad..... But considering I rolled it over two months ago.

Sure thing. Maybe we can organize a hockey game?

How about you organized a fight..... Then a hockey game can break out!!!!

A very filthy-minded 9 year old, at that

Good morning!!
So - writing up a final (I change them up from year to year) and grading essays are on tap for me todalongery. Jealous? Hah- it's going to be terribly hard to sit at a computer all day when the birds outside are hollering at me to come play.

Earphones.....
