That is a great price for eating eggs. Eggs for hatiching, especially rare breeds command a much higer price.

Happyhensny-- The splash orp chick we got from you my daughter has dubbed as "the king of chickens". The name fits being it is a roo and is bigger than the rest of the chicks. I think we're going to call him king for short.

We named the blue hen Luna. The black hen will either be Lucy or Hermione.

This is a pic of a way I feed my chickens. Cut 3 or 4 holes in a 5 or 3 gallon bucket, high enough so it holds enough feed, & low enough so the chickens can reach the bottom. The bird inthe pic is a Marans hen. I hang the buckets so they can't tip them over. They don't waste feed & the top helps keep out junk. If you have roosters with tall combs the holes have to be big enough so they can get their whole heads in.
For chicks, which I just noticed you said..I just use a shorter pail or I like those multi holed red long plastic feeders at the stores.

My big bucket feeder(just like yours) works so well I made chick bucket feeders out of 1 gallon buckets. So much less waste. Bucket feeders and nipple waterers!! way to go. I do start the first week with a little red chick feeder with a mason jar, but after two weeks onto the gallon bucket feeder!!

Vm, I didn't know that honeybees drill. Here we have boring bees that look like bumble bees with shiny butts and bore into the soffet of our house. Them we use a special powder on, which isn't good for them and wouldn't be good for your horses.
Could you do something like mashing garlic in that area and into the hole so they would find it less of a perfect place?

Just caught this. When I was a mailman bees or wasps would start to build nests in rural mail boxes. I suggested to customers to put a couple of moth balls inside. That did the trick. I suppose if you couldn't get them inside the hole hanging them in a sock near the hole would work.
