Back to the "egg in a bag"...

By the time I got home and poked around on it, the outside bag/sac/membrane or sausage casing thingy was kind of dried out, there was an egg inside, the shell broke when I tried taking it out, but it had a nice yellow yoke in it... SO... don't know if the outside bag was actually part of the poor chicken or perhaps another egg trying to form around it...

The chicken seems good as new also... so we will wait and see if she ever lays another egg...
Here is the picture in case anyone missed it the first time...

Excellent news, Amy!

DH's mom had a single masectomy last year. It didn't spread to her lymph nodes, but they removed them anyway. She has been cancer-free ever since. I hope Julie will be the same.

X2!!!

Dad still hasn't answered yet, think he will say yes though.

I would get the recipe but I have to leave in 5 mins to go to a big church camp at St. Thomas university until sunday,
See ya, Colton

Nice storm passed through last night-marble size hail and woke up to find this across our driveway...

 

[Celtic Chick]

Oh no, Ang! Well, better having it across the driveway than in the living room, eh?

 

[Angiebubs]

Right! And it really did no damage (other than waking up our DD19 when she came flying around the corner this morning not seeing it until almost on top of it). It took a lot of the apples off one of the trees where it landed too. All in all nothing more than a nuisance for chickenship to cut up tonight

I think I said before this looks very much like what my chicken laid whenwe found out they probably got infectious bronchitis. It did not infect the entire flock of 6 birds only 3. Took us awhile to figure that out... Is there a chance that she has not been laying for awhile? I had trouble till i started separating them. As I said it turned out 3 were laying normal eggs... One things like this that improved over the last 6 weeks but still she has watery whites...One has quit laying totally and another lays very arge eggs they are watery and ridged/wrinkled think these 3 had their reproductive systems damaged in some say... None of them exhibiting any sign of illness we only noted a drop in egg production. Waiting till Sept to see if they keep improving otherwise its soup time. I would suggest isolating her to make sure you know for sure which chicken laid this... Like I said not my entire flock was affected.

My gosling is starting to get a little more friendly. Not that he (or she) has ever been unfriendly, but I can foresee the Goose Nibbles will be painful later on. George has been checking me out up close lately. Nibbling on my watch, biting on the garden hose, trying to drink water from the water spray. George also has been nibbling my shirt sleeve, or shorts leg, or my sandal buckle. He's gotten my toes a couple of times, and it tickles. But this is a half grown goose. It's not going to tickle when it's grown. Any suggestions? George won't take any treats at all. This is the only ways he's showing trust and bonding, so I don't want to completely scare him off. But I don't want to be bitten black and blue from a lovey goose in the future either.

Advice???

BF, my goose LOVED lettuce. That was her treat, that and earthworms. Those nibble very well may stay gentle, my goose would nibble us all the time.

With the worms, we could barely get the shovel out of the ground before she would jam her head in the hole..... if you do give her lettuce wash it really well or pick some farm stand lettuce up.
