If you have a snake in the coop eating the eggs in the nests, put a golf ball in each of the nests. The snake will eventually eat one of them and it will kill the snake.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thank you all for all the help and encouragement that you have given since I became a member of this site! It has all been appreciated! Also thanks for all of the good reading and the fun times that I have had while going through the various threads on here! I...

Quote: I would certainly buy a couple to help out! Lets all just keep on praying for them all!

Let me tell you what I am doing! It works great!! LOL!! I took a 12" wide taping blade and using black electrical tape, I taped it to the top side of the shop vac hose with the wide suction head (like you use on vinyl floors) turned on the vac and started scraping the popcorn ceiling off! You...

I use them and my Orpingtons fit fine when the buckets are on their sides. I just cut the lids in half and put one half of the lid back on, put a little straw in the buckets and they all use them! AND they are super easy to clean too!

Has anyone else had trouble with Ideal Hatcheries web site? I have been trying to place an order, but everytime I put in my information, it disappears and will not let me continue to checkout! I've had it trying to hatch shipped eggs! Every time that I get some delivered, it is like they have...

If I tried to wear a hat in the house or at the dinner table, my old man would have knocked me out from under it! He wouldn't have asked me to take it off! He figured that I should know better! I didn't forget after the first time, I can assure you!!!!
