Surviving Minnesota!

Welcome East Bethel - I am a Benton County transplant.....transplanted by marriage from Stearns County to Benton.

Little Roo Barred Rock Rooster Update: The past 2 days he must have sat at the food trough day and night because he seems to have caught up to the other Rooster and Hens. I keep forgetting my phone to take pics when doing chores. Today's new chick toy.....Manna Chick Starter Treat Hanging thing. Tomorrow's entertainment a CD or mirror hanging from rafter for them to peck at. What other ideas do people have for 3 week old chicks? We have 62 chicks that I would like to entertain to prevent pecking but of course work and school kinda get in the way for 8 hours a day.

How about some live meal worms from Petco for some Worm chase? Always highly entertaining.

Strawberry's egg today,, my poor girl wish there was something to do to help her lay smaller eggs. She lays everyday 1 day reg egg and next day double . I even got a triple yolk once,, I think this might be another triple... Is there something she is lacking in vitamins or something or is this just always going to be her normal???
