While discussing chickens and laying,
and feed-costs they were paying,
theburtschickens gave a poem,
to those who read this forum.

It told the "plight" well,
of chickens bound for ____,
"Ol Blackie they fried,
But, that Roo had tried!

Try as he might, death was his plight.
He shoulda been a hen, when he was born back then,
And he coulda laid, and the egg-debt paid,
"Ol Blackie's outa luck......
He only cocka-doodle-dooed, 'cause he couldn't cluck!

I sweet talked my hens everyday for a month. One day, I had had enough...I told them "I give up! Do what you want to do! I don't even care anymore!" and the next morning... the prettiest, most delicious egg I have ever encountered appeared in my henhouse!

I try the same technique on my son when he doesn't do his school work or chores. It doesn't work.

Are the thing'ma-bobs

that hang down from the chins real red too? When the comb (thing on head) and waddles (thing'ma-bobs on chin) turn red it means they are getting real close. May be take a mirror and let them see themselves and they will realize that with all the red going on it's time to start having those eggs come flyin' out their butts!!
