We lost one of our layers last week. She evidently was not very happy in her pen; maybe the other hens were picking on her. But she developed the habit of squeezing under the fencing into a neighboring pen for visits, then returning. One day, she got her leg caught in the fence. Pat and Kui were able to free her and she stayed in b the hospital pen for a few days, but her leg was swollen and the third day she just died. She was a good second year egg layer too. Sad. However, we received 26 meatbirds (as baby chicks) in the mail, with one exotic buttonhead. After 5 days, only one has died. They are growing like crazy. I'll post photos soon. Now it's time to sleep.
Bon nuit.
