pre-scrambled......

You mean YOU got some babied chickens to?

Someone told me you could and even gave me directions when I used to have my ducks. I THINK I have the directions in my canning recipe book but not sure on that. But yep you can freeze em from what she said. You may can find directions on the internet i bet! Freaked them out....yep I did to with cranking the lawn mower and them right under me almost. lol I had to get off the lawn mower for something and since they didn't get their normal food this a.m. they come a running when they saw me. I get back on the lawn mower and crank it and they all scattered. Thought they were going to run into each other. I didn't have the gas throttle turned up really high. Silly things

Oh yeah, I opened the bag of shavings and the goofy things started bouncing off the walls! I told them they may as well get over that crap AND SPREAD THOSE SHAVINGS! ...I'M NOT! lol Mine know the lawn mower means food too. lol They are not real bright, they will cut right in front of me and I have almost ran over one a couple times. If people could only see me ...screaming "Moooove!" lol I can't remember exactly what I read about freezing eggs. Seems like some did freeze them whole. Some were also beating them slightly and freezing them. Somebody was also freezing them in some kind of little containers like ice cubes then storing them in a bag. I'm sure somebody has figured out the perfect way to do it. What did we do before the internut? lol

b 4 internet? I have NO CLUE! I think the one I had said freeze in ice trays to and then put in ziplocks after frozen.
LOL I have had mine to fly into the walls. That poop hammock ALWAYS freaked them out when I took it down OR when I brought it back. LOL hey I'm sure my neighbors think I'm off my rocker with mine but I don't care. lol

I have only ever froze store bought eggs (when they went on sale before I had chickens or knew someone that did) but I have found that some crack. I have never froze out of the shell, but have read great results.

Pretty smart freezing the ones that were on sale. Cracking reminds me of what I did this morning - I dropped an egg in the floor and what would be a big mess with a store bought egg was not a big deal with a ff egg. It shattered a little bit on one side but I just picked it up and could still use it, yolk didn't even break. Super eggs! lol

Almost as soon as we let them out this morning we heard a hawk. Then a little while later watching and waiting, hubby had gotten out his crow call to hopefully scare off the hawk. Little while later I hear it again and it's TWO HAWKS! The crows or blue jays one was after it I couldn't really tell which because it was up so high but the chicks hit the bushes and I couldn't even see them. Hubby used his crow call again to. The chicks stayed hid for a little while but finally came out when the hawk was gone. The bushes I have in my flower beds are HUGE and the azaleas are as well so they have GOOD hiding places.

I bought a crow call several months ago but I don't seem to be talented enough to use one. lol

Hi Lisa. I got mine at Gander Mountain for about $10. But they are harder to operate than you'd think. I've got to learn how to use it! This guy on this video is pretty dang good at using one.

Thank you Triple Willow! We do have a Gander Mountain and an Academy. I will make that one of my stops today and see what I can find. I will let you know if I can work it. It will be good for a laugh if I can't work it!

ok, not sure if this question has been answered here somewhere. I drilled holes in my inner bucket with a 3/32 bit. Not draining well at all... not enough holes? holes clogged up?

Do y'all think Christmas lights on a coop and run would keep predators away or will they just think it's pretty? lol

Drill some more holes and see if it helps it drain more. I know I had the same problem and just put more holes in it and it started to drain fine
