I...I haven't done much more work on more hens. I'm still researching whether or not I can eat my hens eggs. The latest I've been told is that this bacteria is in the shells and not in the eggs. Meaning that MY eggs are okay to eat. And if I were to introduce new hens, their shells would be contaminated too as they would all lay in the same nests.<br /><br />Oh, the more I research this, the more complicated it becomes. I'll keep you posted.Flock Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655524576977244762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267410526498787978.post-7114555037217520412012-06-25T11:00:34.647-07:002012-06-25T11:00:34.647-07:00Oh, yea.

The only time that didn't work was a warm afternoon and they had found a shady spot with damp,loamy soil and all four were having this marathon dirt bath. I showed them the meal worms and they were not buying. I had to individually pick up each hen, who felt like they weighed about 10lbs with all that dirt, and transfer them back to their run. They were NOT happy but I had to leave and don't leave them out unattended.<br /><br />The funny thing is about a week later, my neighbor made some comment about my naughty hens so he must have heard me talking to them while transferring them back to their run. I'd better be careful what I say out there.Flock Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655524576977244762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267410526498787978.post-28681485354035553672012-06-25T10:04:55.484-07:002012-06-25T10:04:55.484-07:00Sounds like a great book.
How are you progressing ...Sounds like a great book.<br />How are you progressing with choosing more hens?<br />I am very excited at the moment as I am collecting my three Dominique hens on Friday. I have been waiting for them since March and finally they have three, two month old hens that are ready for me. I can't wait but am slightly nervous too. I know the theory, just need to put it into practice.Carol Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800245681845689902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267410526498787978.post-20699247580603177472012-06-24T16:24:21.072-07:002012-06-24T16:24:21.072-07:00Sounds like a great read!

Meal-worms are always a great thing to have around--especially if you need them to go back into the coop when they're not ready :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446274738954245807noreply@blogger.com
