    Honeybees in the feeder

    Imthe1whoquacks... this could be, I keep my 3 grain scratch inside, but it may be the dust from the feed that they are after. I do use crumbles.

    Egg Laying

    I have 8 chickens of different breeds and are all closely the same age (within about a week to 10 days) and about 4 months old. My Bardrock started laying about 10 days ago and the other Bard isn't, neither are any of the others (that I know, I've been "Easter egg" hunting everyday). A couple of...
