How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

21 eggs, one was a soft shelled from my silkie hen - poor Fluffy 😞 she’s 4 yrs old now and I imagine will not lay much now.

So I have 20 good eggs which I still need to collect, so I guess I’ll head out to do evening chores check my old mare who seems to be colicky, and gather those eggs.

Everyone have a lovely evening/night/day.
How's your mare, today? Colic is no fun for either of you!
 
ETA: 13, I think. Lol.

Thank you for asking, she seems ok. But she is 23 and a grey, full of melanomas, and likely a gut full off them.

Anyways I dosed her with some Bute last night, this morning and again tonight. She’s on borrowed time though. She was born here and will pass here.

Then….

She would love that - she loves being brushed and fussed over. Yes she is an Arabian. Around here they are not popular, and I’m fact last year here there were not even a dozen registered by the Canadian registry. When Truly was born there were a couple thousand being registered a yr. But these days seems no one wants horses. Too expensive. Once my girls are gone (I also have a thoroughbred who is 24), I won’t have any others, everything is incredibly expensive now - hay, feed, bedding, Vet, farrier. All very expensive. Not to mention I am getting too old for risking getting injured.

The chooks are more my speed now 😉

I tell everyone the reason my eggs taste so great is because the chooks pick out the pieces of grain and such from the horses poop 🤭
