I used the beetle traps some years ago and it was the worse thing I ever did. Although I bagged lots and lots of beetles, in the following year I found that, because the traps attact more beetles than they catch, my whole yard was infected with the grubs. I had a large area of lawn die out...
I got the hens from a friend. He has been wrong before about this sort of thing. I am not sure of anything now.
I was not aware of the ear lobe color link to egg color.
Maran (?) photo.
I am new to this but here is photo of hens eating some New Years party leftovers.
Comet (Lucy - the best hen on the planet!) is 4 yrs
White hen - 2 yrs
Marans - 10 months
I have, two questions:
What is the white hen?
Who is laying the white eggs (got some good replies)?
