taking the lives of rats who have eaten pounds of feed and killed several young chicks over the years. Our agreement is to feed them and provide shelter. We have a perfect place to do that which is not accessible by dogs, ours or strays. I will keep you posted on how our feline "system" works for rodent control in and around our chicken coop.
Mari : I thought you and your readers would enjoy seeing this deformed egg. It looks like an umbilical cord coming out of the apex of the egg! Pretty creepy! My hubby found it earlier this week. So I'm not sure if it was from one of my welsummers or Jersey Giants. But my guess is that it's from one of the welsummer girls. Mari Roberson
