    6 months & now, EGGS!!!

    My flock is now 26 months old, & have gone on an EGG LAYING STRIKE!!! Nary one teenie tiny egg in almost 2 weeks!! Almost as if someone has flipped a shutoff switch! This is deplorable (on my part) & even my roo sounds like he has a sore throat. My hens & the roo have been losing feathers all...

    MOLTING? I find this to NOT be true

    My birds feather loss problem has been going on literally, for MONTHS!~ I personally can NOT agree w/the MOLTING answer everyone seems to be offering. This has been happening to my chickens since prior to Spring of this year! Are the majority of us BYC folk "rookies" when it comes to this...

    SALVATION ARMY to the rescue

    Most everything you see "outside" @ a "Sally Store" is either going bad, wilted, etc. They have a regular monthly program for food giveaways where the public applies for help. I occasionally DONATE my girls eggs to the store also. I don't feel bad "recycling" this so called give away food. When...

    feather loss

    I have an equal mix of white leghorns & rhode island reds. 9 of each, & someone recently donated me the rooster from HELL! He keeps law & order in the coop & pen. He is the meanest **** rooster we've ever seen. I think he CREATED the term ATTACK rooster! He has attacked & drawn blood on me on...

    Trying to hang cabbage....someone help! LOL

    I simply thread a "screw eye" into the CORE of the cabbage, then just STEP OUT OF THE WAY!!! Go to any hardware store & get a 3/8ths COURSE THREADED screw eye. It takes very little hand pressure to push it slightly into the core, then holding it in place, I spin the cabbage head onto the rest...

    HOW MUCH "DAILY FEED" IS TOO MUCH FEED??

    I have twenty layin hens about 1 1/2 years old. I fill a 5 gallon water bottle inverted from a hanger for feeding besides any treats. (boss, scratch, etc) On occasion, they will empty this container by the following day, scattering plenty of feed. I wait until they clean this up prior to...

    what are you charging for a dozen?

    I take 10 dozen a week to the store for $2.60 ea. (26.00) If I sell them @ the El Rancho, I get $3.00 per. With on site consumables taken into consideration, plus the freebies, I never have left overs.

    That was HILARIOUS!

    The poor "flat Landers" that are under informed about country livin'. It's not as bad, I guess, as some of our kids thinking that eggs, milk, steak, bread & a few other things all come from the STORE!!!!!! Too bad the only reality available seems to be called a tv show.

    HUGE egg!

    Quote: I also have NH Reds among others. I get a JUMBO egg every couple days. Absolutely tips the scale!! I'm not sure yet which hen is throwing them. I wish they'd give me more of them- I could get $5 /dozen for 'em!! I keep any mini's & the jumbo's. The rest go to the...

    How many Eggs did you Sell today?

    10 dozen!!! My eggs go to a local store that takes all I can bring them. This is a weekly situation, as the store is 10 miles down the road. I get a very reasonable price UP FRONT when I walk in the door.

    How picky are you with your eggs?

    You WASTE your eggs? You feed your chickens, water them, built a coop & run for them, & waste the product they work so hard to feed you & your's? AGAIN ----> You don't want to touch a soiled egg? Many stores sell latex gloves!!! They're quite economical, also. I wish I lived...

    One of my hens has been bloodied from pecking. Would Vick's VapRub help keep the others away??

    how much do you charge for your eggs?

    I live in the desert, so I guess you'd call that rural? In the middle of almost nowhere, I see no reason not to charge the $3 per dozen which I do. With the cost of feed & the work it takes to do this, if anyone wants cheaper, (lesser grade, pale, soggy eggs) I figure they can get...
