I tried the red pepper stuff on squirrels at the feeder once. I had squirrels with red faces eating my seeds, LOL. I give my girls crushed red pepper in their scrambled eggs they eat from time to time anyway. I doubt that would have an effect, at least on mine.

The harder U cull the better your flock will progress!

Some people dont cull thats why they are in the same shoes they were 10 years ago. Ive always said cull and cull then cull some more. Hey 1 good hatch will put you back in the numbers.

We have parrots who get dried peppers in their seed. When the Delightful Dozen gets the remainders of this, they always go for the peppers. So I am not sure that spicy hot is a negative...

That makes sense. My parrots LOVE jalapenos. Hmmm. well, I dont know where elvetra California is, but please dont cull her!! Send her my way.

Hello, all well I found Juice a new home. I put an ad on Cragislist and a little old lays came and got her! So all ended well. I told her she had eaten 2 eggs and she said no problem she would fix her of that she said she would put her in a cage and break the broody and take eggs. I hope it works for her. So thank you for all of your help.

Yep, chickens do not have saliva glands, so hot spicey stuff has no affect on them.
