Our poor Yadi. She must have been eating the grower chow and not snacking on any of the oyster shell because she laid a very flimsy egg on Friday. It broke, and she got raw egg all over her underside. It was too late to do anything on Friday night, but by Saturday morning the other girls were pecking her like crazy. We had to give her a bath. I just filled the sink in the downstairs bathroom with warm water and soaked her. Then I drained the water and refilled the sink and soaked her again. She was filthy! After her bath, she went into solitary inside the house the dry out completely. We put her back outside on Sunday morning, and there was no pecking.

Hey — I just found your blog and you should, um, post some more stuff. I'd like chickens someday, but for now I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys.
