    What do you do with all those eggs?

    Our chickens are free range however the hens have certain places where they lay their eggs. We collect them daily so are able to fill the large egg flats very often. We live in a rural area but most of the people here don't have chickens so I give them to poor families and also keep the...

    To the member who was posting about chickens not laying eggs for a couple of months. I don't know what part of the country where you reside but we had the same problem a few months ago and we got a feed from the store to help the chickens and added it to their regular feed of cracked corn...

    Have A Predator Problem??

    I have never seen any racoons in this area but will try the motion detector light as no matter what it is that might do the trick. Thank you.
