Been poaching my eggs for about a week. Best way to get a runny yolk without snot. Lady on YouTube showed me how to do it right.

Had a poached egg on homemade corned-beef hash the other day. Bust that yolk and dig in.

When I want eggs I head down the road a bit and toss $6.

Looks like a bargain breakfast there Ed!

The red ones to prevent pecking?

Mike, I remember galvanized. Yes, to help with pecking.

Chickens, and hogs will eat each other.

Looks killa Pappy !

I would take dikes to hens to reduce blowouts.

My meat birds don’t live long enough for that to happen.

Didn’t stink.

I had fresh brown eggs from an Amish farm this morning. I think they taste better. Yokes are more orange than yellow. I just fried them in saved bacon grease, over hard. Salt and pepper and gone down the hatch quick.

Corn fed hens lay darker, orange yok eggs.

Grew up on a farm and I always wanted the brown eggs, always tasted better

They sure seemed to like that box this mornin.. 😂😂

Judman,

if you can, PM me a pic of your coop/laying box setup. From the little I could see in that one pic, it looks pretty nice. Thanks

Ya I’ll take some pics and post em up for ya. 👍

Thanks bud,

There ya go, only advice I can give ya, spend the extra $$ and get the welded wire, I’ve seen coons go right through the woven stuff, I got places where I can see where they tried rippin it open, but they can’t get in.

Thanks,

we're fortunate out here on the sage flats there's not many coons. I've got the hardware cloth 3 feet or so up the side with +/- a foot buried. The chicken wire on top of that. More concerned here with 'yotes and badgers and perhaps the odd fox and skunk. Raccoons tend to like having more water around.

This badger didn't like a 12g load of #6 steel from a few feet away. You can see the hardware cloth and chicken wire set up.



The actual coop is a little shed like thing the local Mennonites made. I'll see if I can dig up a pic of that tomorrow or the next day. Long drive for a Dr appointment tomorrow.

How did he get in? Looks pretty secure.
