I am pleasantly surprised the the production reds that I bought at Tractor Supply at the end of March started laying a week ago! Heck, even the Cornish Rock hen has started laying! (She should be in the freezer, but I've taken a shine to her..lol) Here was the biggest surprise... we're eating...
I WISH mine would eat mint! Wild mint and catnip grown rampant here and I'm forever pulling it up. I do wish they'd eat the weeds the donkeys won't eat, but isn't that the way it goes? They WILL eat those weeds (plantain, etc) when confined to their pen. Hmm, maybe i should just move the pen...
