    shredded mail

    so it doesnt matter that it is like this small (sssssss) and what kind of print it is ? I do get alot of magazines and catalogs so this would definetly save me money. lol Also might be easier to clean the poop out of the nesting boxes than with the shavings

    shredded mail

    So I shred my mail that I dont want and I was wondering ----Can I use that in my nesting boxes ? Remember its mail like magazine cover and bills that I paid. Anything that comes in the mail that has my name and address on it? It is very finely shredded.

    Anyone noticing an unusually poor November egg production?

    I have 48 hens and 2 roosters and my "old" ladies that are a year old are mostly molting so no eggs there. My "babies" have now started to lay and I am finally getting about 8 to 10 eggs a day again. My ladies are usually paying for themselves with the eggs they lay but lately I have had to pay...
