My 5 girls are free rangers. They have complete access to our backyard and all the bugs they could possibly imagine or ever want. Lol.
Well, today my hubby hopped on the mini excavator and we are leveling the back yard. Moving dirt from high spots to low and it’s been bringing LOTS of bugs to...

They weren’t laying much, (some weren’t laying at all) we suspected because of recent dog...

I then added a tiny bit of honey to some warm water and did the same. Just a few drops at a time. Within an hour it was more lively and doing...
One of my mature hens that hasn’t laid for weeks just laid this egg today. She was in the coop for a couple hours and the albumin was VERY thick and gelatinous. The “yolk” is like 5-6 separate yolks. The shell is really thin and pretty malleable.
The egg itself was so tiny. Like, an inch tall...
