Spooky!

Our coop has about an 8x15 foot section that is outdoors on native soil that they scratch around and dustbathe in. They also get out a few times a week to free range all around the yard, which has plenty of dirt. Does this provide enough grit, or do we still need to supplement--either by using...

Dunno, it's not my bird. I was a parade spectator.

Our Sussex is the tamest bird we've ever had. But THIS one sat on this girl's handlebar for the entirety of a 2.5 mile July 4th parade!

"Where do you get those egg cartons?" Most of the egg carton websites offer the clear ones, and most of those will split in half.

I guess in all honesty, I do have an ulterior motive. Every time I bring in a bunch of freebies, I get a few more paying customers to sign up. People who have never had a true farm-fresh egg get addicted quickly!
