Help, I have an egg eater! How can you tell which chicken is eating the egg? I collect my eggs at least 4 times a day, this has only happened twice in the last 2months.

This I have heard works...take an egg blow it out...fill it with mustard.... The offending hen will A. Get it all over hen face allowing you to identify her...and B. you can remove her...some people use a time out cage to get them to stop....or well freezer camp. Good luck!

Longest week ever. For anyone who has kids 2nd and up there is a wonderful movie called 'our friend, Martin.' You can view it on YouTube. It's a great movie that, in cartoon firm, really helps the kids understand the importance of his life. I'm showing it to my class today!

30 min til the post office opens! lol

Could you just eat the dried elderberries?

I don't know....maybe? I'd check into it first...lol. I know the syrup isn't too complicated...just honey an some spices I think. The berries might be fine, health wise. I just can't tell you how'd they taste...

Yeah! You can pick them up as soon as the post office opens then I would think. They should travel here by then. Right?

So eggcited!

Me tooo! They open in 30 minutes, I'm going to call. I don't see how they wouldn't be there..Coppell is 40 min away an they left there at like..2:30am. I'll just use some of my lunch time to run and pick them up and get them all set up! Then the husband is on chick duty! lol
I didn't tell my daughter they were coming today, just in case they didn't make it...I'm trying not to get too excited, just in case.

My post office calls me before 5:30 to 6:00 a.m. that my birds have arrived. I immediately get in the car and have them hours before they are open. I ring a bell at the back loading doors and they are happy to give me the chicks. I'm surprised you are having to wait until they open. Give them a call. They start work really early.

I'm still waiting for an update on my pullets. They were "Dispatched to Sort Facility" in Harpursville, NY, at 4:54 p.m. yesterday. Nothing new posted. I'm sure they are either on their way to or already at the San Antonio sort facility. I was hoping I will get them today, but expect them tomorrow since I didn't get a call at 5:30 this morning.

At my post office they have a side door they let me pick them up at and they actually get to work around 5:30

!!! If you knock really loud and look like a forlorn Mommy Hen wanting her fuzzy butts

they might just give them to you early

. Yes I'm an enabler

 

[Brookshire11]

Ahh! Now I'm nervous they didn't come in and that's why they didn't call early!
I'll call!!

 

[Brookshire11]

Coppell truck doesn't get there til 11.
Some birds were in but they weren't mine.
I have to call back at 11..
Cutting the "72 hours" very close.
I know you usually just provide sugar water to start with, but in this instance, should I provide food right away as well?
