Sorry for your loss.



We had to spend a few hours Saturday night comforting my oldest after a hawk ate her favorite chicken, a Silkie called Pepper. We had to stop letting the chickens free range after that, especially when the hawk came back the next day while we were outside. My oldest came out of the house with Fury wanting to rip that hawk apart with her bare hands. After that we got the yard cleared out and moved the second chicken coup/run near the first one to keep all of the chickens inside until I can build another area for them to be in. That will have to wait until next weekend or later. This, along with losing a few chickens to disease and heat, we are down to 19 chickens in the back yard plus the ones at my in law's house.

Pepper is the dark colored chicken behind the white and orange ones.

Nice variety pack. Looks like you got stripey Brown, stripey grey, stripey black and the rare chase variant Orange.

Xander died tonight at 3 years old of an undetected heart issue. I’d post a photo but the site isn’t letting me.

I'm so sorry.

This is why I spoil my critters. It's never enough time.

Finally took the kitten to get fixed this weekend. Got a little annoyed with the vet for doing $130 in extra services without asking, doubling the price. Then the lady at the front gave me attitude to the point where I had to step away before I verbally tore this lady a new one.

Then we have spent the entire weekend trying to keep her form licking her wounds. We used a large sock, and it was quite effective.

 

[MEDdMI]

Oof, I'm sorry. Hopefully there's a nicer vet's office nearby for regular checkups.

one of our kittens got really hurt and very likely isn't going to make it/has already passed

i don't know which kitten it was other than it was one of the tabby kittens, i don't want any of the kittens to die but i will be even more sad of it was the tabby kitten that likes to lick my fingers whenever i pet them.

One of our Egg layers passed away last week. She had had a good life though. We got 6 free baby chicks at the local farm supply store for free last month and it looks like 4 of them are roosters, but hey, they were free. We currently have 106 eggs and the wife is freaking out about what to do with them.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Sell them.

Buy a mansion.

 

[The Predaking]

lol. A dozen eggs on the farm to table price is about $4 I think. I think it got to $5 at one point....

 

[wonko the sane?]

Dude... you're american: you need to go to the grocery store right now. Those eggs are your retirement fund.

...We currently have 106 eggs and the wife is freaking out about what to do with them.

If you're in the US, surely there are recently impoverished people that need cheap eggs right now?

 

[The Predaking]

Yeah, we are planning on giving them out to our neighbors and coworkers this week. I should note that they are laying about 10 eggs a day now.

 

[MEDdMI]

What state are you in? I bought a dozen eggs at the store for nearly $7 recently...
