Well, I am still playing hostess to a flock of freeloaders. How old are those pullets now-32 weeks? We are getting absolutely NO eggs from our hens, and only 3 of the pullets are laying. So that gives us 2-3 eggs a day which is absolutely pathetic!!! With the amount of food these chickens eat and the amount of money it costs to feed them I better be drowning in eggs this spring.
At least my son's dinner doesn't get wasted anymore.
It think this is the corn and sweet potato he refused last week:
We also have a rabbit who has shacked up with the chickens. We got Pumpkin this past summer and my tender heart felt so bad for him cooped up in his hutch that I allowed him to pretty much roam around the yard at will. I'm still not sure if this is a mistake or not, as obviously he is at risk from predators (and he is pooping in our garage), but he is very social and seems to enjoy haning out with the chickens, and yes, even the cats.
He no longer allows us to catch him and put him back in his hutch, and he will not be tricked into it with food-so I guess he is fending for himself now. Sometimes we can still pet him on one of his better days- but absolutely no more cuddling, which we do miss.
