Was wondering too?...Didn't think twice last Saturday and threw some tomatoes and jalapenos in the grass and the girls went bonkers, next day red pepper flaked runnier poos and 3 soft eggs layed in the night.....The girls often get into the veggie garden and pick their own???? I did pick my rhubarb to the nubbins so they'd finally leave that alone!! hope it's ok they eat tomatoes and peppers occasionally, they love yellow squash and zucchini too.....
oh before we got side tracked on tomatoes and hot peppers, I meant to tell you I am so glad your hen is ok and layed an egg....one of my first girls to lay acted real strange just before and after her first egg, I posted too asking if something was wrong with her. By the next morning she was much better, now they are laying machines, like clockwork, peep chatter chatter climb in the box lay an egg and out pick the lawn, they been going for 12 days in a row now crazy birds!!I was able to get Stella last night without TOO much trouble. She wasn't too fond of me holding her but once I put her in the warm water she calmed down and just sat there. Nothing really came of the bath (other than some poop and her trying to fall asleep in it).
Went out to check on them about half an hour ago and she was in one of the nest boxes.
Went out about 10 minutes after that and she was back in the run but Barb was in the boxes.
I went and checked a few minutes ago and look at what I found.
I've come to the conclusion that I was just over reacting. Whoops.
Thank you, again, for the advice Jim.
