That’s what I thought too! It hasn’t happened again. It is so strange!

Excellent shells! Super thick and hard etc. We feed oyster shells and free range and also give food year round as well. :)

We sure do! Oyster shells and grit :)

I would love to see that! Do you know where on the site the directions to make one would be? :)

It never did happen again! Weirdest thing ever!

Whoooahhhh!!! No way!!! I had no idea!!

Blue Jays or Crows perhaps, yes. Rats no. I caught a opossum eating eggs once but I killed it immediately, it never made it out of the coop. I just assumed an opossum, raccoon, skunk or mink would have also attacked my two broody hens and figured a snake would eat the eggs whole.

I am looking for a good feed option for my entire hippie homestead! Lol We have chickens galore, 3 Nigerian Dwarf does and 5 ducks. They all bunk together in our little barn and have for months and months now, since we added the goats. They were doelings when we got them and they follow our Roos...
