    Will eating Starter Grower long term hurt chickens?

    Thanks to all of you for your help. I'll start keeping egg shells and throwing those in with the table scraps that they get.

    how long can you leave eggs out unrefrigerated?

    As I said they usually get eaten fairly quickly. If by chance a carton gets left for 6 months it's tossed. But I personally eat eggs out of the bowl on my counter so the ones I eat are either from that day or a few days prior. I'm sorry I didn't have an answer to your question but I'd rather...

    Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

    Tonight we're going to have spaghetti with meat sauce and no-kneed bread. I always make a double batch of sauce and put the leftovers in the frig. Then in a couple of days I'll use the leftover sauce to make lasagna.

    Free Range Chickens & Poisonous Plants

    Same here, I'm in my 60s and our chickens have always free ranged. I feed them leftovers from the kitchen but other than that they find their own food and I've never seen a chicken die from eating a poisonous plant

    How often can l feed my chickens scrambled eggs?

    Thanks for the reply. I know the hens are very aggressive when they're going after protein and seem to crave it but like all things I'm sure there's a limit to what is good for them. I too would like to know what that limit is.

    Fox problems

    Foxes usually have a routine just like we do. They will show up on their rounds at about the same time of day. Figure out their routine and sit out with your chickens at that time.
