First, sorry no pictures. I went to one of my coops and found a hand full of feathers, her gizzard and her entrails. nothing else. If's its a 'coon this is the first time I'm found any viscera. this hen was a freeranger but now I'm worried about the pens I found her remains next to. Live...
** sorrythis didn't go where it was suppose too*** In reference to if my eggs were bought, etc..
I bought the eggs and didn't know there was blue barred with black barred in the pen. Still would have bought the eggs, but not sure if the blue will stay. These are my first barreds in 4 years...

liked. Have been watching your birds for a while now. Love, love, LOVE your orps!!! would be interested in pricing some black English orp chicks or eggs. I'm having trouble finding black rto black breeding stock.
just came home to finding my boss Muscovy drake dead. It looks like a dog attack. I'm mad enough to chew nails right now!!!! I've called neighbors to see if anyone's spotted a loose dog. Sucker will die of heavy metal poisoning if he wanders back on my place!!! Checked my other pens to...
I don't know if it's just because of the muscovies, but we don't get a huge fly problem. The mares get moved to the summer pasture, but with the 'scovy ducks doing ducky patrol around the breeder pens that pretty much takes care of it. Dang, it took a while to get thru tonight, lol
Now off to...
