    Table Scraps

    Roosters being mean to my new girls...HELP!

    I too am having problems with my young roos. I have started using a squirt water bottle to stop bad behavior. It helps!

    We'd love your opinion on our setup! The more the merrier!

    how much do you charge for your eggs?

    My DIL in Humble, TX. pays 4.50 per dozen at the farmers market! I plan on starting at $4 when I have some excess. She already has 6 customers lined up for us.
