even the meat chickens turned into pets

i wish i had room for more chickens

depends alot on which varietys you ordered.some kinds are vines some are more like bushes. and there is thorns and thornless.

I have ate eggs that were cracked already, didn't seem to have any ill effect.

when i can i wait for the birds to come in the roost,at night. i talk to them and pet them as they come in, only 2 or 3 out of 26 don't really like it.an i touch them anyway. The 16 older birds i can alll hand feed but they won't let me pick them up, the 10 younger i can touch an pick up easyly...

after the rinds dry out mine eat those too

hope you get them

we were having eggs sucked , usaully didn't find a shell, i evenually ran into a large water mocasin in the coop.i have been spraying tea tree oil under coop and around outside of run , as long as i keep oil sprayed snakes seem to stay away, no broke eggs anymore.

cukes should last a few years , keep in low humidity and room temp or cooler.

i would avoid lettuce, onions, carrots,parsnips,,, they wont keep very long . beans,cole crops, corn,okra ,squash , can keep for years if stored right

thanks
