Unfinished.
Maybe it's two words - unfinished projects.
I've gotten too many irons in the fire lately, and need to stop myself and regroup. And I'm only talking about the fun stuff, not the daily to-do list.

The Egg Eating Chicken
A few weeks back, I noticed our egg production down, and wondered what was up.
While I was in the barn awaiting Misty's birth (goat), a few chickens got back into the barn into the coop. I heard some loud squawks and looked over. Lo' and behold, the no-name black araucana was chasing a barred rock around. Then I saw her bully two barred rocks from the roosts, and put her head into the roost.
I was certain I had my very first case of an egg eating chicken. I put her in the emergency (just a small spare one for sick/injured chickens) coop for over a week. I noticed egg shells in her coop on some days and others not one egg. While in the other coop, I would get 11 or more eggs.
