These are the original two gals.  What a splendid pair they were.

Mrs O.  Jan 2006

This is the oh-so-elegant Mrs. "O" She is a Buff Orpington.  She has survived some kind of predator attack and limps a bit - oh and her comb is a little shorter but she is still around.

New egg laying spot

The girls have decided that since it's been really chilly, they would rather sleep in their laying boxes. This is in awfully bad taste as the eggs sometimes end up with poop on them. Yucko! So they found a nice little spot in the backyard where they now lay their eggs. Nice and clean and in a protected little spot. Wonderful. It is also closer to the house and behind a little screened area. I'll post a pic one of these days. I got 19 eggs the other day. Of course I had been sick for a week so there was no egg collecting.

Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Lab for chicken necropsy

Some folks have sent their dead chickens to this lab where they will
study their cause of death. You can even call them and chat with an
avian specialist to get more info. Ship them in an ice chest packed
with ice using next day delivery. Do not freeze the body. Just refrigerate them until you ship. Check shipping rates verses gas to drive to the lab.
