Even if she never lays another egg, she's earning her keep!<br /><br />P.S. what's with your Japanese beetles? They're way too early! Around here they don't show up en-force until the soybean fields are harvested. Then it's "don't even <b><i>think </i></b>about opening a door!"Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525083807112117001.post-76135592394892626432011-07-15T22:07:14.079-05:002011-07-15T22:07:14.079-05:00I had no idea chickens were that good at catching ...I had no idea chickens were that good at catching bugs on the fly, so to speak.Karen Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525083807112117001.post-18661203298759604272011-07-15T22:01:18.155-05:002011-07-15T22:01:18.155-05:00What an absolutely brilliant idea!!!
