Selingan

When i returned home I checked on my family, namely my dogs and my chicken and guineas. They were doing good, and well disciplined. went into their coop right on the dot at 6:30 pm or hang around the coop by 6 pm. My dogs wagged their tails like they were going to take off. I love them I love those animals which I know sorely missed me.

However, i observed, there were no eggs in the egg cubicles. Perhaps the chicken missed me so much that they did not lay eggs any more. The next day I understood why they did not lay their eggs in their respective cubicles. There were 2 big black snakes curled up there enjoying a big meal. These snakes were smart, they came just after noon when the chicken had laid their eggs. Well, i guess that was the snakes' last meal. Now I have eggs again. Of course there are some chicks that feel more comfortable laying under my steps, in the garage, on Bill's backhoe seats on the boat etc.

here is how you check your eggs

Can You eat that egg?

If not sure you ought-er
then place it in water
if it lies on it's side
then it's fresh, eat with pride

After three or four days
at an angle it lays
But, it still is a treat
so go ahead and eat

ten days, stands on end,
in your baking it will blend
'Cause it's definitely edible
in your baking incredible

But if it floats on the surface
that egg serves no purpose
'Cause a floater's a stinker
Out the back door best fling ever.

Mutiara,
I never thought I will use the word "cool" when the next word is short gun, but how cool was that using your short gun to get rid of the predator.
I'm sure the snake's body was hanchog berkechai no?
