    Bumble foot plug too small

    Thanks! That's very helpful. She pulled the bandage off last night so I can't tell which one she is right off (I have four black hens). But she's not limping now so it makes it even harder to find her haha!! I'll check her foot again today and clean her up. Thanks everyone!

I've decided to go for $3.50/dz, that seems to be a happy medium because fresh eggs at the grocery store are almost $6, while some that are 'supposedly' farm fresh at Braum's is sold for $2.50. I figure that will offset...

    Egg Prices

    My chickens have just started laying enough eggs for me to sell them. I searched threads on this forum to see what everyone else is selling for, but the most recent threads were posted four years ago. Prices of feed -and even chicks- have gone up since then. Does anyone one know what the going...
