    The last and final step in adopting a dog from the human society is inspection and approval by the local chicks.

    Egg Carton Problem

    I have two hens that are laying HUGE eggs like that and not double yolkers! I couldn’t believe they were a single yolk when I first started getting them!

    Rooster Bachelor Pad

    Constructing my bachelor pad today! My cockerels are behaving very poorly toward the pullets so they are getting their own place until they mature a bit. Thanks for the helpful discussion!

    Large....I mean LARGE Light Brahma

    I have a large 5 month old cockerel who is going to be a big boy! He’s still really scrawny but by far the tallest bird I have.

    Oh, I must have missed that detail! So it sounds like you have some form of bandit....any likely suspects? I have had my dogs play with eggs before, also wonder if a possum or the like wouldn’t carry one away?
