The last 3 eggs - no good. So I got 2 babies and we love them. Wish i knew how to post pics on here so I can show them off.

My bantam hen has been sitting on some eggs for about a month. Didn't think the eggs were any good but SURPRISE! I found Momma and 2 little chics outside today. Checked the rest of the eggs and 1 has a chic in it that was moving around. And 2 more are possibly good. But the other 5- no good. Got...

Haven't put any frontline on the dog or cats and they are happy and content.

I live in Alabama and the fleas are terrible. Especially in the spring and summer. I got my chickens in March. By April they were outside. Haven't spent a dime on flea meds or chemicals yet this year. And I haven't gotten bit at all. Haven't seen a single flea. I'm assuming it's the chickens...

We purchased 12 chickens strictly to control fleas. To my amazement, it has worked like a charm. I would much rather spend the money on feed for my little fluffy butts than spend it on poison to treat my yard, my dog, my cats, and my home. Am I crazy?
