pretty normal when they first start, they are getting all their organs in gear, and with temp swings egg production can do funny thingsMy six new chickens, 2-Giant jerseys, 2- white brahmas, and 2 easter eggers,
started laying about a month ago when it warmed up,
my one (i think) maybe both--easter eggers dropped some pretty baby blue eggs, every other day for 3 days, around the same time,
but on the floor not in the bucket, this was a month ago, since then no baby blue eggs,,
normal? or do i have something wrong?
i don't use any lights, i open there doors early in the morning, so full daylight as soon as the sin comes up, and a lot of caged open range
layer feed plus black oil sunflower seed, house scraps,, there happy chickens
im confunded

Beautiful quilt SCG! I told my mum & dad about.
Hope you are feeling better, buckaI think I tore my rotator cuff this weekend. It may be a while before I can dig and lay hardware cloth. Hoping to get in to see a doctor soon. I'm only good at one-armed chores.
Do you think there is a risk of secondary poisoning w/the borax? Reason I ask is I was ready to start using this & some poison until I saw a gray cat running from behind my coop w/a rat in it's mouth. It proceeded to devour it still within plain sight of me. I encourage this behavior so I don't want to poison someone's cat & my new "live trap"! I put down My sick hen last week and sent her to Orono for testing. Haven't received any results yet so I'm calling tomorrow. No one else is showing signs of illness.probably 2 parts pb, to 1 part borax. borax is very poisonous, its an old timer thing that i was taught
yes, there is a very high chance of poisoning the cat, that stinks, i wouldnt want to poison someones pet eitherDo you think there is a risk of secondary poisoning w/the borax?

Sorry you lost your sick hen, CoopChick. I'll be interested to hear what the necropsy says.
My arm is getting better! Doctor says my quick improvement means it's a strain, not a tear. If I can't get back to full range of motion in a couple more weeks, I'll get PT.
The rats and mice are still eating the peanut butter/poison mix. I think there may be hundreds of them though.
