First - What's Wrong With Me?!
I can't seem to get past that mental block of eating my own bird's eggs. I'm eating them, but I doctor them with milk and butter (we like them scrambled) and even though they taste good, I'm still getting an upset stomach afterwards. I'm attributing this to my mental block of eating my own bird's eggs, but is it possible the eggs are really making us sick? No other eggs seem to do this. My husband has complained of this same problem, but not our 7 year old daughter.
Second - What's Wrong With My Bantams?!
I think I've officially ticked off my bantams. I was cleaning the coop out weekend before last and my Japanese bantam was sitting in the nest box. She got all huffy because I peeked in on her and so she got up. I guess she must've been in the middle of laying the eggs because by the time she got to the run, she plopped out the egg. I guess when you gotta go...
Anyways, since that incident I've caught them both sitting in the nest box almost everyday but I guess they're on an egg-laying strike. They've stopped laying altogether. I figure this is natural, but part of my newbie chicken-mama self is worried that something might be wrong. The weather has been nice, and it doesn't appear that they're molting.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
