Soo, I may or may not have done early candling on some eggs. Most if not all the ones I checked have veins developing

You are incorrigible!

How egg-citing!!

Accidentally scared the flock when I went to feed them some treats

Right before I clocked out, I got asked if I wanted to become a shift lead. I declined as I'm not able to handle that kind of responsibility.

How can this be rat proofed? Does it even need rat proofing ?

Nice build! Not sure what you could do. Maybe fill it with that foam someone's bird liked to eat (I think kt was in the shaming contest)? I don't have to worry about rats in my coops, a few years back I'd found a rat skull and what I believe to be a weasel skull while deep cleaning the run

I cant take credit for it we got other people to build it. It was sent here disassembled and was a lot more difficult to put together then expected!

foam is what other people seem to use but I can’t imagine the rats wouldn’t be able to easily chew through the foam.

I am surprised the weasel didn’t cause any issues! I think rats are much more of a issue with chicks and quails then adult chickens

My birds are vicious creatures, so I don't worry about them. You're right, they could easily chew through the foam. Maybe place a rock towards the end of the foam (from the outside) so when the rats try to chew a bit a rock comes tumbling down? Idk
