Good morning! No rain in the tent at all last night.
Diego found this scary looking beetle cockroach thing in the kitchen this morning. Anyone know what it is and if it's bad? @Overo Mare

Looks like a smoky brown roach. They live in wooded areas. You just got done clearing. Probably disturbed him and he accidentally wandered in.

Not bad. Just lost.

The molten aluminum is really cool.

True, but I would try the antibiotics first.

Ah, thats a relief.

Cheese is broody. I might pull her in a few days so she's isolated. She's already skinnier than I'd like and I don't trust the boys to eat the food in the pen and not the bowl I placed by her nest.

Cornish is also broody, as well as a pheonix in the cochin coop. And Mare, your namesake is also broody, and a scary one at that.

So I might have someone who can take any little Colt babies I hatch. Unfortunately I have to brood my Cornish chicks anyways if they hatch, so I'll have a brooder set up anyways.

Might swap the eggs the Cornish and Cheese are on, just so the Cornish chicks are with Cheese instead. That might give them better odds

I would insist for the antibiotics myself. The way that looks most doctors, here anyway, will not test you, but just put you on them. I had to one time. It is just antibiotics, so no big deal. Better safe than sorry. Lyme disease can be nasty.

It is not near as big a deal as @ColtHandorf and @Hayden Goseek remedy

Yeah that’s true! I’d rather be on them than have it

I don't know. I never been that big on roaches, but let us know how it turns out. I hear they are big on protein.

I'll put it in the deep freeze and save it for when you drop by.
