She's a Layin'

Sweet Pea is laying eggs again! And just in time to make Pan de Muerto for the Day of the Dead (we'd hate to disappoint the ancestors). She's survived Marek's, having her toe torn off (by moi), being squished under a chicken run and still she comes through her molt faster than any of the others. She's my rock star chicken.

  2. Can we rent her? Last night I bought a dozen eggs at the store. It broke my heart.

  3. When my chicks were still in the brooder, they got little poo-balls on their toes. One of them went unnoticed and when I pulled it off, part of the toe came with. I felt SO bad!! Is that how yours happened? C'mon, share the guilt! :-)
