two legged pests

I want one of these. Hopefully the kids won't come back now that they've been caught. I would ask the police to do extra drive-bys of your area for a while. If the kids are in the habit of checking out the neighbors, you're probably not the only house they have visited!

the police have been called twice to the premesis once for trespassing kids and the second time for what happened last monday. regardless there are nolonger anymore speeders on my road

but one of my friends is lending the cameras to us... i already have the acsess point covered since i have no more camps to help out at we asked the police officeres to patrol the way around the entrance to the ssecond half of the trai lalready though that might not help since its a dense path. i inlisted the resident to check on them if she hears a ruckuss. the hens hate the fact that i am taking there eggs right after they lay them they tell my roo who explores the nestinng areas thouroughly! they are paranoid but who can blame them.

i havent had any trouble if i lock the barn from the inside since thankfully they lay in the coop ... i dont trust my pullets though thehy might lay outside... i like the german shepard one and the warning shot one i can provly get my brother to sit there with a loud sterio playing a disk if he hears any strange noises.

thnks for your input

We it me and i knew they were stealing my eggs i would go find an old nest with some unhatched eggs , put them in a nest box and give them a little Taste on the rotten side.
I hope you get this nipped in the bud, it has to be horrible to have this kind of stress in your life.

tempting...

ever so tempting... one of the kids said that they didnt know the "difference between a chick egg and an eating egg" ill tell you what i so wanted topull their leg. maybe if there is a nother very sudden shortage of eggs i will incubate some eggs (none of my hens are broody but i have a roo) and mark them so i dont collect them and then if i come back and they arent there i will pray that the problem is delt with.... 10 days seem enough time to incubate the eggs and hav it so the embryo is noticeable or should it be less? if someone does the egg stealing thing again iknow what to do!

Next time you come home to find bikes in your lane...drive over the bikes with your car. Might hold the little squirts there long enough for the police to come or at least it'll teach them a lesson.

I agree that you need to ask around the neighborhood. I bet these kids are known for other similar exploits.

i cant drive and it was a fire lane that noone can go through with cars except the firemen and engines but with permission we can use the woods to get to the other part of the property.... (we have two properties. one is large enough to have chickens on it the other not big enough)

and pluss they would press charges for the bikes...

Them eggs got to be on the verge of a stinky explosion to get it to sink into their pea brains, they will be smelling it for a few days as the particles in the air will attach to their nose hairs.

when it either bows up or they crack it open.

haha! oh i think so 2! i had an egg that was stinking up the house right before hatch day.... i was so mad that it caused me the clutch but it smelled bvad.... it was buried and the wildlife stayed well away from it!

im thinking of starting up a little side "buisenes" of hatching chicks and then selling them to local people. i have an ameracauna roo who is breeding my production red hens... i cant wait until i am able to start it up!
