I was cleaning my chickens bottom because she had poop on her feathers and found what I think was chicken lice.  What should I do to get rid of them.  I am sure all the others have them too.  I read to dust them with Sevin...

I use the eggshells too, I put them in the microwave and heat them up for 30-40 seconds and then crush them up.  Heating them dries than out and makes them crush easily.

It was a double yolker!! And she laid another one today.  My mom was here and got to get it from the nesting box and she couldn't believe it!! Woo hoo more omelets on the way!  And thank you Topper for the wonderful eggs! ...

Grapes, watermelon, oatmeal and seeds!

Haven't cracked it yet...my kids wanted to save it for daddy since it was so big!  Maybe tomorrow we'll find out what's in it!

got 2 soft shelled eggs today, in the coop not a nesting box.  I have been feeding them the egg shells hoping that would help the one laying the soft eggs.  They are pretty weird.  I usualy scramble them and feed them back...

3 normal eggs and 2 soft shelled eggs!  5 for 5 first time ever!

got 4 out of 5 but 1 could count as 2! check it out:

Just got it this afternoon...I guess I'll find out when I make breakfast!!  May be big enough for both my kids to share haha!

Oh my, I couldn't believe it when I opened the nest box and found these three eggs.  What I couldn't believe was the Extra extra large egg!! ow that must have hurt!
