I am not sure but I thought I would try it this year. It never hurts to give some thing a try. Gloria Jean

Let us know the results. I'm curious

There are so many chicken related myths and beliefs out there, it's interesting to find out how much is truth and how much is wishful thinking. I still want to try this "fat egg = hen, pointy egg = rooster" one. If that one's true my hens are laying mostly "hen" eggs!
