    Found a great way to unload pullet eggs!

    i do the same... i typically keep the smaller eggs for me and sell the nice big ones. don't get me wrong, often i find monster eggs that will not fit into a jumbo carton so i keep those too. i've been fortunate to get a ton of 18-pak cartons from customers. so when i start getting way too many...

    Anyone painting their Chicken House now ?

    vines for shading your chicken run

    thank you for the tips on the weight of some of these plants. the run is constructed of heavy duty chainlink panels. each panel is 6' x 12'. i also used these same panels to enclose the run on top. i would have imagined that these panel would have supported most vines......maybe i'm wrong.
