Long time no chat, Bee !!! Hope all is well with you these days, my friend ! How has the Spring in WV been treating you ? It has been a good Spring here and the weather is nice and warm. How are the birds and the pup doing these days ? And your mom ? God Bless, my friend :)
Bee ! Woman !! So good to see you around here again ! I haven't been around much at all but just wanted to say hello to you and I hope all is well. God Bless you ! :)
Posted this over in the "Front Porch" thread as well:
Well folks... I need some advice. In recent weeks I have noticed that one of my RIR girls has developed some sort of respiratory issue; rattly breathing, clear nasal discharge and the occasional bubbly clear liquid in one eye and occasional...
Thought I'd give a little update on Rodney's frost bitten comb. After applying 2 or 3 good coats of castor oil I think his comb is looking a lot better. Just a few white/yellowish tips that he'll likely lose, but no infection and his comb has bounced back really good from what it was ...
Exactly the same thing here, Bee. During the cold snap I got 13 one day from 13 girls. The last day or so warmed up and I was back to 7 out of 13 girls... So strange how that works. One would think it would be just the opposite.
Hi Bee... Rod's comb is no worse for the wear. His tips are pretty much all yellow now and I see he has lost one tip near the back of his comb. He has had no further frostbite damage in this latest bout of cold weather so I think that CO is doing the trick. He'll likely lose most of his tips...
Thought ya'll might enjoy the video in this article. Just goes to show how intelligent chicken really are !

I hear ya, Bee ! Yesterday I reported getting 13 eggs for the first time from 13 ladies and today in a seriously blinding blizzard and absolute freezing cold temps, not to mention being confined to the coop all day long, my girls gave me 11 eggs !! :weee
This keeps up and I'll be laying an...
Not sure why they decided to lay in this cold weather but boy am I glad they did !
I slathered a good glorp of CO on his comb tonight and I'm hoping it will help against this biting cold ! If I bring Rod in for movie and popcorn then I better do it while the other half is away or else I'll be...
Hi Bee ! The polar vortex is well on the way here ! We are under a blizzard warning with up to 12" of snow forecast :(. The current temp is 14 f with a windchill of 1 f... I'm so ready for Spring and so are the chooks. You can see from this pic that the purple in the bottom left corner is...
