I feed mine scrambled eggs with the shells finely chopped into them. No cannibals here ;)

My neighbors medicate for worms and anything else they can think of and have more problems than I've ever seen. Worms in the eggs! We have used Apple Cider Vinegar (either homemade or the real stuff from the store) and have never had any health issues with our birds. When I say the "real...

MyPetChicken has Birchen Maran hatching eggs. I was looking for hatching eggs a couple of week ago and saw them. SInce I wasn't looking for chicks I didn't look for them, but you might check them out.

My hens go absolutely CRAZY over any kind of noodles. Spaghetti, chinese, noodles, anything remotely resembling a worm! :D

It's so sweet looking. I love it!

Actually we have thought about that or an automatic water system. The drawback for now is how to inject the Apple Cider Vinegar (always) and/or Cayenne Pepper (when it's really really cold) we put in their water. Thanks!

Unfortunately, she is not close by (3 hour drive). But her mom and dad are AWESOME about brining her up to visit and I got to keep her for a week while they went on a trip and then a couple of long weekends. The rest of the time was me driving down to see them :D She and I video chat every...

I am very proud of the work he did! He is not a builder at all and this thing is rock solid! Our neighbors thought it was a guest house with all the work he was putting into it :)
