I think I have some Redneck Eggers We had this leftover chunk of pipe about the size of a 5 gallon bucket so I threw some hay in it a couple days ago. Looks like it’s a winner!

We have hens who regularly lay in crazy redneck places. Like the bed of my husband's old S10 (lawn ornament now, doesn't run). They haven't even looked in the direction of laying in his new truck. We like our chickens a little on the trashy side. lol

Isn't it the middle of October? These temps are not helping convince me to end hatching season.

If I had eggs to set I would set them! These dang pullets are testing my patience. We are going to work on getting lights on two pens tomorrow. I've been busy with work, plus a side hustle job I started, and my final term in school. My ADHD be ADHD'in.

Gonna be my new line of meat bird Leghorns.
No one likes plucking so I'm gonna eliminate that step for them.

Chicken pattern baldness. It definitely would save time on plucking when processing chickens, but that poor dear is gonna need a sweater for a bit.
