Update on Ms. B

She's an on-again-off-again layer.  Not every day.  Couple days in a row, then a day off, then a couple days.  Eh....  I'm ok with that.  Considering she didn't lay for MONTHS, I'm good with on-again and off-again.

She laid one leathery egg a few days ago, so I upped her calcium and protein.  And one day I think she stepped on her egg, because it was broken in half.

I'll feed her milk, yogurt, and meat some days when I think she needs to improve on her egg shell.  I hard boiled some eggs last night and one cracked and got nasty -- so I fed that to her this morning.  Folks at work get queasy when I tell them I feed my chickens leftover chicken and eggs.  What can I say?  It's perfectly ok to do that.

Blessed Event Confirmed!!!!


Oreo's egg vs. Butterscotch's

The Blessed Event?

Today might be the day that Butterscotch lays an egg.    Yesterday I caught her up in the nesting box, and Oreo on the ground screeching.  But alas, no egg.

Butterscotch is up there again this morning, doing some deep thinking.  And any minute it's going to need to be Oreo's turn (my ladies are like clockwork).  So I need her to hurry up and do her business!!

Wish me luck....  I think Butterscotch is 39 weeks this week.
