Had 3/4 inch yesterday. It being drier today is good

Well they concider Styrofoam to be a delicacy so I wouldn't trust they taste much

I toss broken eggs where mine can get them. They fight over them but never touch eggs in the nest unless one breaks. Never had signs of one becoming an actual egg eater. Friend of my Mom's did and taught the rest of the flock to do so. I suggested trying some extra protein first but that didn't...

There weren't any visible here last night. I even checked when the dogs woke me for potty

This was south last night. The entire sky was lit up here. No color tonight

It was very light and wispy what my eyes could see. The phone could see all the color though. The long exposure is part of that. The streaks coming from this overhead starburst were a bit more visible.

We cant get the produce here. Neighbor at the other end of the street takes it for his cows. He asked all the places within a reasonable distance years ago. He's very recognizable with his beater 80s hatchback he uses to collect it all. We always wave. He asked if he could bail our front yard...

Marek's disease is airborne. Wild birds flying over can bring it. It's pretty much everywhere. Silkies are super susceptible to it. I was vaccinating on hatch for years and years after I had it kill a bunch of birds. Burned the coop and moved where silkies were. None of the ameraucana or EEs...

My chickens eliminate the ones they can get to. We only have some in the back yard this year because they were penned most of last year because of bird flu risk

If it's not in my mouth it didn't happen

They carry diseases that spread to humans and horses. I think disease is less a risk for the birds. If they can find a way into the coop they absolutely will kill chickens.
