MJ's little flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

Like most two year olds, she was holding on tight throughout the elevator ride and at the point of disembarking, as the elevator rolled away beneath her, a mild panic set in and she gave me a few scratches.
"Accidentally"

Many people might blame the elevator operator for the bumpy ride...

Little Ivy had to be lifted off the nest so I could confiscate her eggs.

She sat there for maybe 15 minutes before grabbing a few snacks.

And having a really thorough scratch!

Now the eggs are gone, I'll check how long she's been sitting and think about encouraging her to spend more time on her feet on less on the nest.

I'm so sorry for all of you MJ. What a shame there wasn't a better outcome.

It's all about how the animals are viewed. My state, Pennsylvania, is an agricultural state. There is still a ton of farming which occurs. Because of that, chickens are primarily viewed as livestock and cheap livestock at that. It is not cost effective to treat an unwell chicken so you cull it. Why would any vet specialize in something that you just kill when it gets sick? Hence I have not been able to locate one.

Try the Pennsylvania State Vet.

They will talk with you and give you advice on the phone.

Never mind. There's always next summer.

You are so mature. You put me to shame.

I had the study floorboards done last week. The finish needs a few more days to cure but it looks fantastic!

I think that's the first time those words have ever been used to describe me
