I have heard of it but never tried it. But it sure is cheap to try to see if it works. A penny !!

while we have not tried it ourselves a local summertime only fast food place has done it and I'll say this.
there were not any fly's in there;

Well another chick broke a piece of shell hope it hatches soon to get this little guy a friend. I wish I knew what all breeds these chicks could be. The fun of buying random eggs from 3 different farms.

Yay!!! A new layer! There was a very small egg laid under my ramp going up to the coop today. The red sex links are just beginning to be mated with, so I figured it would be any time now. There are 12 of those, and then 2 weeks younger are 15 tetra tints just about to come in to lay. So they may actually pay for their own feed soon!

I still have the incubator going in the basement, but I'm quite sure all the eggs are done for. They are the ones that I accidentally got to 105' for a few hours, so I'm pretty sure they are toast. Just in case, I let the incubator go. They *were* due to hatch Monday, but I'm not expecting anything.

What does A roo chick crowing SOUND LIKE ? Their Combs turn red when they mature too ?

They sound like a young boy going through puberty. Not quite sure how to crow.

It looks like something else is in there to me. Is that so? I do know that copper messes with the electric system on slugs so copper is used to surround plants. Slugs won't cross it. I've seen people who place a circle of pennies around the base of their plants too.

Wonder if that's it.

Congrats to anyone with new chicks.

Tough day at work today, but I survived. I hate to complain cuz I like my job really. Just learnin the ropes.

I haven't collected the eggs from the broody hens or have it? I don't remember. No I think not. I have to wear a glove they are very hard on me. Very determined hens. I did give them eggs but have to collect the days' eggs the other hens lay in there. I need more nest boxes and places to stick broody hens.

Heck I need a coop just for broodies.

Take care and hope no one gets hurt with this rain and thunder storms.
