    My girls have gone on strike! Help!

    They are about 13 months old. I will drag a fan out there tonight then. They have lots of shade although I haven't sprayed down where they lay to cool off. (dirt under the porch is their favorite spot) Thanks for the advice!

    They run around the yard...I don't think the fan will help unless I chase them around with it.

    My girls have gone on strike! Help!

    All three of my girls have stopped laying eggs. I have had 2 eggs in the last 10 days. Nobody is molting. They are healthy, well fed, have lots of space to roam, fresh water, etc. I have searched every inch of the yard and there are no hidden eggs. Could it be because it is so freaking hot...

    Sooo....what do you think did this to my horse?

    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.
