    rats

    I just read that mice won't come near peppermint. Anyone else heard of this? I assume it will work with rats too? I'm going to crush up peppermints or perhaps get peppermint oil and put around the chicken feed, etc. ????

    Hen laying on her breast

    She doesn't seem to be eggbound. BR do go broody...but I don't think she is. Most of them are just finishing up molting...don't know if that could have anything to do with this 'problem' or not???? She doesn't act sick or peck at me, as if she was going broody, or in pain. Valerie
