Did you try bribing them ? Sunflower seed, greens, cat food, leftovers ...?

Bribed & threatened with the crock pot.

The have had eggs, turkey, chicken, green beans, oatmeal muck (oatmeal, buttermilk, yogurt & seeds left over from my inside birds & flax seeds) Nutri-drench, all our left overs, etc.............. They have lights.

I don't know what else to do.

I have not tried cat food....dry or canned ?
The only ones that catch a break are the molting ones, the rest need to step it up !!!

P.S. The ducks...........they are laying MACHINES !

But that does not help me.

Just wanted to say

It's been a while. I've been super busy. Looks like the thread's slowed down a touch but I haven't really been online at all lately. I'm working on a ton of origami ornaments for my easy store and may have a few to trade this week! It's been months since I've made a swap! These are some of the ornaments not the best shot as I took a the picture of quite a few at one time. I also have these origami trees. If anyone's really interested PM me and I might be willing to just do a side swap.

Doing okay Jim! If your bat ors not full I can ship you some eggs this week. They're mixed. I have BCM roos and my OE roo over mainly marans girls. I'm getting more eggs now. Just let me know and I can ship some out tomorrow. We're FINALLY having an ultrasound this week! So I'll let y'all know if Im with twins or just a singlet. Holidays have been pretty wonderful. Hope all is well with everyone here!

I buy 25 pound bags of dry cat food and add it to their scratch. What has your weather been like? Deb

Ok.... we will try some cat food with their scratch. The weather has been pretty nice. 80 yesterday....mid 70s today. 30-50 nights.

I got a Wellie egg today.

I only have the 1 hen, she is cooped up with the B/W Ams. and an OE. Nice little dark brown pullet egg.

Good girl !!!!

I went out staring at birds. I do have several molting. They get a free pass. But the Polish

they have NO excuse. They have not laid in 2 months now. Sizzles and Austrolorps quit too. Seramas are laying sporadically.

They are all healthy, lice/mite free. Wormed end of Oct.

I will take a deep breath and have patience. I will pray to be over loaded with chicken eggs.

1 banty just went broody.....that will be their next trick.
