I saw a commercial for Eggies. You crack an egg and pour it in this little container and boil it. Comes out like a boiled egg that you don't have to peal. Has anyone tried these? And do they really work?

Do you only have one?

My hens range 1 to 3 years, and I'm only getting 12 ro 14 eggs a day. About 3 weeks ago i was getting 22 to 26 eggs a day and that lasted about a week. That was when it was warm for that week. So are they just telling me that its too cold to lay? What do ya think?

How about charging 2.25 and if they bring back cartons then its still 2.00, that way you aren't loosing money. People will pay it.!!

I have a feeder hanging by 2 wires thats twisted together. When I did chores today, I saw a hen with a toe caught in one of the spaces of the twisted wire. I thought she was dead, but she wasn't. I freed her and she can't walk on the leg. I put her in a next box to keep her away from the...

The older hens are RIR and ISA Browns, non have been aggressive before. It has to be in these new hens. They are golden comets, and when I go in the coop, there are several hens eating the carcus. Todays hen was totally gutted, so gross. I'll check my feed tomorrow on protein count and name...

I added new 1 yr. olds to my flock, they are separated by a fence. 2 times this week I have found a dead chicken and the other chickens have ate it. these chickens are molting. Do you think they don't have enough protein and so they are eating each other? this is weird and gross. Any ideas...

Why do people either only want white or brown? They are both farm fresh!!!! It drives me crazy. do any of the rest of you have this problem?

Can chickens have kohlrabi?

why don't you just get some JB weld and glue around them so they won't leak. Mine weren't push in, but I glued them just in case they leaked.

The chickens just scoop out the feed with their beeks, and it flys everywhere. Do you think if I raised the feeders a few inches they wouldn't be able to do this? It drives me crazy.

EDUCATE. People need to be educated in the right way. You need to turn the tables on them and return a question with a question. Be kind, but firm. Also, some people can't stand the thought of killing something. Really, when I think about it, my stomach turns...I can't stand blood. But...

Has anyone seen this at a festival?

I wouldn't trust it, but I guess you can try it once and see if its too much water. Guess you wouldn't have to fill it all the way up either. I did this with a 5 gal bucket and it works well. I just have to be careful that dirt that gets in doesn't clog the nipples.

Does anyone know how many oz indicates a large egg, and an XL egg and a med. egg? I try not to give my customers the small eggs and have my family eat them. But some of the med size eggs feel really heavy and maybe that would consider them large eggs.
