    Bachelor pens -- Did yours work out?

    I call mine "Death Row" because that is where the excess roosters are located. So far I have only had one problem. They picked on the leghorn rooster, who previously was a top "dog", he had to go to camp early. Other than that, just changing the pecking order. It took about two weeks and...

    I'm being ROBBED

    i agree with everyone else, just give it time. If they did lay a XL egg at this age, they would die. they simply can't pass an egg that big yet, they will when they get older and their pelvic bones expand. these little eggs work well for burgers or toad in the hole toast.

    Building on a hill

    My problem with a hill was not erosion but water run off. Mine packed the dirt down so much that nothing runs down hill but water. I have had problems with rain water flooding my coop.

    turkey+vodka=tender?

    If you kill it them directly put it in the pot, would that help. I mean oven on, pan right there, into oven. Would that keep rigor away?

    silent moscovy baby ducks

    if you take the mesh from a window screen you can cut a circle to fit just inside the rim of your waterer. I could just fit one line of marbles in mine, or those gem things they use in floral arrangements that are flat on one side.
