they are definitely eating the eggs - I see one of them doing it. I also find eggs in the nest that are covered with egg yolk from a missing egg or eggs. At this point, I think there are a couple of egg eaters. One day I tried the mustard filled egg, and watched as 4 hens took turns trooping...

i don't have a dishwasher, and people are always commenting on my "new and sparkly" glasses, which aren't new, but are just clean and unfogged by dishwashers. good to know about the washing soda soaking solution!

the.chickens.are.eating.their.eggs I've tried golf balls, salted the nest with an antique glass egg made for that purpose, filled eggs with yellow mustard, upped the food, upped the protein content, offered tons of boss, and no dice. I collect the eggs as frequently as I can on weekends, but...

blackbird, are you cooking anything yummy this week? just saw elsie's pic, she is definitely gorgeous

really great thread, and bibi, once again you have been incredibly articulate. I think OFG has hit it on the nail with the comment that the big thing now seems to be celebrating how mean you can be - (paraphrasing there). I just don't get it either. in my own little weird world, I have this...

yeah, we had a hard frost last night, had a light frost a week or so ago that took out the basil and some of the tender stuff, and last night took out everything else. I have to say I'm glad, was a tough year in the garden. Was supposed to plant garlic yesterday, but...it didn't happen. I'm...

now blackbird, are you suggesting OFG isn't responsible? I'ld step in and tell you different, but knowing a little about OFG, I know that is totally unnecessary.... Run, Blackbird, Run!!!! OFG's gonna be here in a minute ...(sound familiar? I heard you got your butt kicked the other night -...

nooooooo Dace, don't do it! savor your freedom! My elderly cat is unhappy and miserable, the little kittens are hogging the bathroom and cry unless I am sitting there so they can fall asleep on me - I just tossed a polar fleece throw into the dryer so it got warm and toasty and popped in in...

geesh Chad, thank goodness you looked first! don't know who was more shocked you or the coon. Bet your heart was pounding!

oh, you are so lucky! what great fun. I used to be able to find lots of chicken in the woods (its a mushroom) but can't seem to find them up here. I did see one on an oak tree in the middle of a pasture - I considered climbing the fence but there was a bull in the field, so I didn't risk it...

gotta laugh, weddings, well they bring out the strangeness in everybody! I can relate to the barefoot, backyard wedding, that is what I wanted way way way back in the day. Course, my mother had other ideas, and I too ended up with a fancy dancy wedding where I didn't know most of the people...

Javamama, if you come home with more than two you can consider it a birthday present to yourself! I for sure won't be the one pointing fingers!

Hey Javamama, hope you have a fabulous birthday! 35, you are just a baby still. don't worry, it just gets better and better. hope you have cake!
