    MY FIRST KEET HATCHED! MY FIRST KEET HATCHED!

    MY FIRST KEET HATCHED! MY FIRST KEET HATCHED!

    Hens eating the Eggs

    Hens eating the Eggs

    I will have to try the blown egg with something bad tasting in them - any suggestions? Vinegar? My hens are all very friendly and they follow me around whenever I'm with them, so it doesn't strike me as too odd when they run in to the nesting boxes when I'm collecting eggs. Thanks for the...
