    So my 3rd EE, Emily....or rather Emilio....began crowing this morning. So I was right, 3 for 3. Not a good *pullet to cockerel ratio* for a pullet box.

    Rubber egg

    We have one that was doing this about once a week, and one side like this pretty much every other day. If it is only just one, I probably would not worry, but if it keeps happening, their calcium may need increased.

    I thought it did not say you could not reuse cartons, only ones with names forbidden? If it's across the board, how lovely of Arizona to contribute to landfills and not support recycling. :P

    Arizona Quail Peeps
