We are Open!!!

 We are finally open again! We have brought our self-serve egg station back. With the Ct Sheep and Wool festival coming up on April 30th, the trailer is packed, and our inventory is ready to go. Soon after we will begin to get the Farm Stand stocked for your buying needs! For now, there is no need to call us for eggs, you can just go into the small barn on the road and purchase your eggs there!  On top of the fridge is a change jar, to make change and leave your money! We are looking forward to some open houses as well. Who knows, you may have a chance to see one of our residents laying in the straw, or just being noisy!

Poor Penny

 

Our poor "Penny" has been off for a couple of days. I noticed her not eating yesterday and decided to have a look. It was my worse concern, that she had a very large, impacted egg that she could not pass. So, at 6 a.m. this morning, we went up to the coop, retrieved her and in the bathtub she went with warm water and Epsom salts. She soaked and soaked and the it was time to try to get her to pass the egg.

This is her post egg extraction. I did my best not to break it but only as it was coming out. Our hope is she didn't get an infection. Peritonitis at this point could set in and we could lose her. Behind the egg was another one but not as large so fingers crossed that she will be able to lay the next eggs.

 Here is part of the culprit, at this point we can only keep her on antibiotics and hope for the best.
