    broody chicken w/eggs won't cooperate

    how often should i give my girls a treat?

    not sure if I treat them too much but they are pretty spoiled. I give them something different everyday, whether it be corn on the cob or cabbage swinging on a rope. They also like lettuce, yogurt mixed with feed, spaghetti, hanging apples...now they are demolitioning an eggplant on a string...

I put some diatrimetris earth in the bottom to soak up as much as the mud as i could...then i took 5 4inch paving stones, threw them in there & covered it with OSB...
