    How do you...

    Thanks Ol Grey Mare! I might have some golf balls lying around, but I have a TON of those plastic coloured easter eggs...do you think these will do or will my feathered geniuses see through my ploy?

    How do you...

    How do you make hens lay in a different spot? I have 33 hens and am getting 19 eggs a day. 7 are from last year and the rest are from this year. They seem to lay mostly in one spot. Is there a way to trick them into laying in different spots? My concern is that 30+ eggs on one nest might be...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got 5 out of 7 hens. One hen died yesterday. We started with 10 hens and lost 2 to illness (we do not give antibiotics). It's hard when you lose an animal. With the new pallet fence run I built, we have not lost any to predators.
