Pretty plant volunteers that is. We have a wondrous blanket of volunteer morning glories on the slope in the back yard. I love it! They may be doing so well because I’ve been dumping the lanolin water from scouring mohair on that slope. I’ve read the lanolin can gum up septic systems, so none of the water involved goes down the drain. No worries, the morning glories are all the more glorious for it!

Navi update: Still massaging her crop. It seems like the size is reducing. The poor chicken is so skinny underneath that huge crop. We gave her some nutridrench today just to keep her energy up. It is just too hot to put her in the isolation ward, though.

Egg update: Found an egg still warm in the pine shavings under to roost this morning. I turned on the light early to check on Navi and saw one of the chickens already on the ground. Perhaps she just couldn’t hold it anymore? My eldest thinks Sunrise and Pooh are laying because they are the two that are crouching in submission.
