If I feed mackerel to the girls as a snackie, Pat will lay an egg the next day. (She's my worst layer, but lays the prettiest dark olive eggs and she's got the best personality)

Sometimes we cater to a hen's particular favorite foods tastes...

TeJae = ricotta cheese
Oops = blueberries
EB and ET = fresh corn on the cob
Pat = mackerel
Zelda = bread
Annie = meal worms
Leza = chopped kale salad

Oh, yeah, they're spoiled. They don't have to do much but lay to help pay for their upkeep.... They'll never pay off their house, but at least they can contribute to rent.

need some current pics of OOps

does anyone compost with their chickens? I've been thinking of setting up another compost ben out of pallets n leaving it open in the semi free range chicken area so they can scratch n pick thru the pile?
