Hello, This Afternoon, when i went out to grab the eggs, i noticed some burrows. when i followed the burrows i found a huge subterranean junction of burrows under the chickens water. can anyone identify the animal responsible for this and if it is dangerous to the chickens?

Just wondering all though i probably will pickup some of these ceramic eggs at the feed store later today

so i have some large white stones-could these be used?

Our hens are getting close to laying age. I remember hearing about putting false eggs in the nest box. what are these for and are they necessary? thanks!

Interesting......

right

Eggs can be hard-boiled without sterilization because the boiling water should kill all pathogens. SO they should be safe to put in as they are. but, if you reuse the same container, you might want to wash the eggs to prevent cross-contamination.

Yeah, thats what i was worried of - the blood Thanks

Very well then.... Ill probably feed all flock with oyster shells as a choice.

so i did some research and found that roos can be fed layer feed as long as no EXTRA calcium supplements like oyster shells are mixed in.

hello, I have three wyandottes that are around 7-10 weeks of age. when is it safe to clip their feathers to prevent them from flying over the wall? (the fence is 6 feet tall)

Yeah, when i was young, we used to use small toads as fishing bait for bass. They were EXTREMELY effective! I eventually switched to using humane lures instead though:)

Agreed, this is very entertaining.

That's a relief! :celebrate

I caught a small frog( not toad ) in our house. i took the frog far outside to release it. as i was walking, the frog leapt out of the container and landed on the ground where my rooster promptly nailed it on the head, pretty much killing it. Almost instantly after this, one of my hens ate it...

Ok thanks

can hens be fed egg shells for calcium?

ok then.... i'll feed them all flock feed with oyster shell for the hens seperate. Thanks!
