Rats will eat eggs... and once they start, they're a flockin b**** to stop!
I just hope it isn't the hens. I can safely put some poison in the building. dammmmmmmit.
I'm sooooo sorry!I've never seen any large mice or rats there. Just tiny field mice, and a black snake a while back. There are droppings in the building though.
Not rats chicken did that . Mine are eating eggs too and they look just like that .I need to mark and get rid of my egg eaters . Who said empty an egg and fill it with mustard to stop egg eaters ????I can't remember but they said it worked and theirs stopped .

I got stupid mice running around in my duck area! Guess I'm gonna have to set mouse traps at night while they are put up.
I have a feeling you are right. 
So, am I understanding that your son's crew was ordered to head to Miami BEFORE the storm hits? Why would his company put them in danger like that? I can understand afterward for cleanup, but not before! Good for them for refusing to go! (Sorry - I know you posted this much earlier, but was at work and didn't have a chance to answer.)Sorry to add gloom...But I'm so worried. Sons crew has been given orders to head to Miami....He said all guys refused and he's been in touch with some friends of ours in Ocala that will go get him and any if the others who don't want to go and will get em home. Don't know whats going to happen for sure yet.
Lack of a tail can cause infertility. Not always, but if you find he isn't doing the job, chalk it up to that...
The following is the longest BYC post I've ever made. Enjoy...unless you have something against lengthy posts, in which case you'll just have to scroll like mad.
Pond Member List (consistent contributors)
any mistaken omissions can be blamed solely on me & my tired mind.
WVDuckchick -our founder. Well loved (or else suffer the wrath of Debs). Known for her quick wit, pondie mind & extreme knowledge of birb. Someone call Hatchers Anonymous, quick!
Ravynscroft - she who never (okay rarely) sleeps. Has finally given up her nighttime weed whacking habit. More birds than she can count & still always willing to help. If your initials are "CR", move along. Nothing to see here!
LittleLakePhil - loves to fish, watch Nascar & Tigers baseball. Has more tools than ya can shake a stick at & he knows how to use 'em. Flirty phone. Big fan of pop-tarts & cookies.
Fields Mountain Farm - likes every single post on the Pond. Literally. Mother over a house full of family that she loves dearly. Soft-hearted so Vixyn will soon rule the roost & I'm okay with that.
BYC910 (K) - so busy he makes my head spin. Loves his Ben to pieces. Will drop wisdom on ya without so much as a how-do-ya-do. Always taking care of something or someone else. Deserves lots & lots of hugs!!
Chaos - dislikes thoughts that form a straight line. Do not feed him after midnight. I fear he may replicate. Must be a good chess player cuz he's always looking up someone's skirt. Brags about his puppy. Like constantly.
Pork Pie Ken (aka CTKen and Chris) - BYC Greeter Extraordinaire. We should probably call Guinness. He's probably had more& "SMH"s than anyone in the world! Behind that gruff exterior is this guy that should sound more like a Brit than he does.
Friday Yet - Takes beautiful pics of her garden. I wish she could hang around more. Lately she's been busy caring for her dad & her injured phinger.
Pyxis - I'm jealous of her energy. Tolerates cold weather well. Smart as a whip. I don't think I've ever seen her spell a word wrong or make a typing error.
Walnut Hill - Travels for work. Always busy. Has mad skills ranging from motors to turkeys to craftmanship.
Bobbi-j - Enjoys family. Seems to have a great memory. Can travel, read/post here, enjoy her surroundings & not miss a beat. Ya'll should be impressed.
Shawluvsbirds - She quacks me up for sure. I liked her right away cuz she's a Missourian, too. Has a great looking yard & a handy hubby.
pertnear09 - don't let his quiet fool ya. He's always there. Reading & liking. Then BAM! He'll post something fitting like ya'll been having a 10 minute convo.
Sour - occupies the best lily pad here. Enjoys the sludge & contributes well. This world traveller is globe trotting right now.
Whites - he's too popular. I think we share him with at least a dozen other threads. Makes me laugh & often catches me by surprise with his posts.
perchie girl (Deb) - unbelievably talented artist. Her humor runs the gambit. Super smart. Posts the best emojis!
2MooreChicks - is hopefully getting over her summer cold. Loves Sun Drop. Sugar seems to got a'hold of her bad. Good thing she has us Pondies to talk her down.
Dan26552 - our token youngster. Posts a lot of dang pics. Has personal relationships with all female members of his backyard.
Debs Flock - boring girl. Might be illiterate.'Nuf said.
Alaskan - must have some good cookies or hooch stashed away at his place. Lightswitches move, cheese gets eaten, never a dull moment in his life.
orrpeople - uses her English like a champ. Did ya'll know she teaches? Reminds me a bit of bobbi-j. Maybe they're related.
farmboy - this guy got himself promoted and now rarely comes 'round even though we all wonder how his replacement is doing. Has 2 adorable girls and one in the oven. Well, his DW's oven.
room onthebroom - another popular one. She graces us with her presence now & then. Fits right in, of course, since her humor is sludgey.
casportpony (Kathy) - admits to closely examing poo. Extremely birb knowledgable. Has a not-so-secret addiction to Google.
DwayneNLiz - where'd she go? Mad reader of all Pond posts. Cute as a bug & has good taste in adult beverages.
