I'm sorry I missed your question but it looks like you got several replies!! I personally just picked it up and carried it to the far end of our 6 acres. Having said that, I will say that he got a little heavy after walking that far and he really wanted down! So, after he released his own...
I am glad to see this as I have been wondering about this very thing! I have a problem with rats but I have relocated the 4 foot rat snakes to the far side of the property because I was afraid they would go after my eggs or even my bantam chickens.
If she has different size eggs that are that different in size, she must have different breeds of chickens!! Each breed of chicken is a little different but you REALLY see the difference between bantams and standards. The egg sizes are very different. I have both and I also have Silkies and...
