    Rats

    I have been dealing with rats for months now. The last week they have killed 2 full size laying hens. Dragged them as far down the hole they can go. I have tried the ratinator, the bucket trap method and the ratx corn mix poison stuff that is safe for livestock. I am literally surrounded by...

    Out of town for a week, chickens laid many eggs while we were gone; are the eggs still good?

    I have an egg eater.

    How many chickens per the space? There are a couple reasons for egg eating and one may be overcrowding. Another could be a lack of calcium...what are you feeding and do you have another source of calcium that the girls could pick at? How many times a day do you collect eggs? I have only had one...
