I was going to borrow a friends roo so I knew where he was coming from as I cannot have one of my own. I thought about getting a...

    How do you do it??

    Thanks everyone that helps as well! Think about the "ethical" side of things does help. We would only have 2 meaties at a time though as our bylaws state that you can only have 4 back yard birds as we live on sufficient property but technically only 1/2 as the other side of the house is rented...

    Golf balls in nest boxes for pullets?

    Thanks :) the golf balls are working do you all just leave your "fake eggs" in the nest boxes forever or once they start you remove them? They have started to push the balls out of the nest during the day after I collect eggs so do they still "need" them??
