Hey, I just wanted to say thank you! I put the fan on them last night and voila! I had 2 out of 3 eggs today! Needless to say the fan is on again until this heatwave snaps. ;)

We will be heading to Germany soon so my girls need a good home. They are the prolific layers you will ever meet. I have 6 (one white plymouth and 5 red sexlinks) and some days I get 15. Their record is 19 in one day. I know. I know. No one believes me but I swear it is true. They were all...
My horse once rolled on something and impailed herself on the butt. It looked like someone drove a stake into her butt and yanked it out. We still have no idea what it actually was or how she did it. Horses aren't the most graceful things when they are lying down.
