    broody black sex links

    2 of my 14 month old bsl are determined to sit. i praised them for their great mothering instinct, but explained that they have never known a rooster, so it was useless. when it was obvious that that wasn't going to do the trick, i looked here and found the great thread about the dog kennel...

    Happy with Townline BR and EEs

    i hope to have a townline order next spring as i am only ~3 hours away. some ee would be great, but i've been wondering when you buy them from one hatchery, are they mostly the same family and mostly lay one color egg, or do you get a good variety of blue, green, pink eggs?

    vacuum waterer

    my 5 gallon galvanized double wall vacuum waterer overflows until it is empty. it is not a fast overflow, just stays full to the brim and the ground underneath is obviously wet. it sits on a solid block support and it is dead level. any ideas what else can cause it to overflow? thanks!

    egg eating

    my wife saw one of our first eggs hit the ground while the ladies were out free-ranging. all of them swarmed on it and devoured it. we had a problem. we were getting our first eggs out of the nest boxes untouched, but eggs that were laid in the coop, run, or out on the range were the chicken's...
