It was a plastered Elizabeth and I was getting fustrated so a stumbled into the coop to find out they weren't eatting them. The egg I put in there had rolled behind the nest boxes. I am going with the assumption that it is too hot. Its been like 95 plus here lately with heat index over 105...
Thanks for the great tips!!!!
I did not actually see them eat the eggs so I have a plan...
I am going to blend up some margaritas.
I am going to position my hammock under a shade tree.
I am going to put a few more real eggs out there and watch what happens.
The possible results:
We will...
I have not seen a single egg from any of this flock. Their birthdates are 12-28-2009 for the hens I am concerned about and 3-25-2010 for the little ones. I have never seen any eggs, so I dont know if they are laying them then eating them, or if they are not laying them at all yet. The ones they...
Ok so I have been really studying my hens and found the problem. I put eggs out there and when they went to the nest boxes in the hours following, they ate the eggs. Should I now switch to golf balls instead of eggs? What do I do? Its not just one hen, they are all turning into hannibal lecters...
I have 5, eight month old hens (two sex links, two Aracaunas, and a buff orp). I also have 12 RIR that are 6 months old I raised them from biddies. I gave them Purina starter until they were five months, then switched them to Purina Layena. I do give them a lot of our left overs. They have a...

Blanche, Rose, and Dorothy (close up)
The babies should be a mixture of "who knows what" ducklings, rhode island red (that im sure of) and two...
Sorry I now have an associate degree in accounting... left that detail out.
But yeah CNA, associate degree in accounting, and I will be working in a pet store because I still can't figure out what I want to do. At least my husband is very supportive.

I am a CNA. I went to our technical college and got a certificate that took 6 months. I worked in a nursing home and loved it but it paid 5.25 an hr... that was 5 years ago. I then worked at our hospital and pay was better but it was 12 hour night shifts and they wanted me to work 6 in a row...
I worry about this, I mean they just come and blow up stuff?!?!? I mean at any momment they could go past my house and blow up something?!?? Woah!
PS why not give them your avatar pic, tell them yall met online and he didn't realize you were not joking when you said you were a pig. It was one...

Anyway hello everyone!

When I want drama but don't want to get involved with it, I go on Craiglist. I can see it from a far and stay out of it, but it is so funny an interesting. I think it is my substitute for a soap opera.

I worry about this happening to me. I live in a subdivision in the country. This "subdivision" fell apart a decade ago and is now comprised of 1/2 $20k trailers and the other half $500,000 houses. There was a housing association a long time ago but it dissolved and everyone is completely in...
Can't do the roos. My home is in the country, but I live very close to other homes. I don't want to upset my neighbors with crowing. If you ever have anything else, let me know. I am mostly looking for chicks or pullets, but any variety.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
Just saw this thread. WOW! I think people should have to take some kind of test before having kids, especially with a particular popular news story right now, think everyone knows the one I am talking about. I am 23 and have not had a child yet because I feel like I am not financially ready, not...
