Dan ---- you win the prize! Found my missing hen on a clutch of 12 eggs.

I was cleaning out my coop and moved some crates I had piled up and there she was. Guess I am candling eggs tonight. Even my chickens want more chickens!

Hey Rav, hows the 100%ers doin?

Mad I left them in the bator overnight, lol...

I figured that after you said it, unlike the boys' guesses...

And I just found ants in my coop shavings. What should I put down? Seven dust? Will that kill ants without bothering the chickens?

You have experience ?

With being super absorbent? Not so much, I generally put out more then I take in.

Bet if they could talk, you'd get a tongue-lashing

I like to put DE in the cracks and crevices of my coop, underneath the shavings. If there's a spot you can put a sugar/borax based ant trap, those are slow, but effective.

Thanks guys. Of course it is Sunday and any supply store that is open is 30+ miles away. I have Seven, and Home Defense Spectracide on hand. Really wanted to put something down today but I might just scrape out the shavings (most of them) and go shopping tomorrow for one of the above and then put shavings back.

This is why nothing is ever done as fast as it should be done. There is always a wrinkle.

On the plus side, I might be having some chicks soon

IF any of those eggs are fertile. I know my boys have been practicing but not sure who's eggs they are or if they belong to anyone of the prefered girls. Find out after dark.
