That's an idea! I cooked up all the eggs that I collected yesterday since I wasn't sure on the age and fed them back to the flock this morning. They were thrilled!Silly chickens!
If she really wants to lay on 10 eggs, give her some fake ones?
fun fun fun.
I have to ask, always wanted to know how does a hen move eggs from one nest box to another?People talk about them 'stealing' eggs from others, but how do they do it? Pockets?
I grew up near Tulelake and the things they sell at supermarkets and call potatos are a joke. Most of those things woild have been culls that got stuck in the belts. They are a new crop for us so we will see how they do, the ones we had growing in the cupboard last year did fine when we stuck them in the ground.
Last year, I used my camera tripod, too. But I always try to also secure it a second way just in case. This year, I have both of my lamps wired to two different hooks fastened into wall studs. So, 2 lamps each wired to two different hooks. I adjust the length of the wire to reduce the heat as they get older. My husband accuses me of overkill in all things chicken but I sure don't want to kill any when I could have prevented it. When it comes to those lamps, I sure don't want one to fall and cause a fire.
I want to try and grow potatos this year!! I have them ready to plant, but I need to make a container to put them in. I've read that you should plant them in a potato "tower" and add more dirt as they grow. How did they turn out last year?
It's only overkill if nothing happens right? I use chains to hang them so I don't have to worry about them being bumped and falling. I never know whats coming through my laundty room, ladders, lumber......
That works. Tires work good too or cut up old plastic pots. add some soil and put straw on top. as they grow repeat makes your crop yield much more as the potatos will form in the straw and our easier to harvest
