Wonky Egg Number Whatever

We have not seen one for a while but here it is, another shell-less egg with umbilical cord.

The plastic egg that has the chew hole in the end eventually became plastic dust amongst the litter in the chook shed along with the two other plastic eggs. We use the plastic eggs to encourage the hens to use a variety of nests. The real eggs were not touched by the rats, nor was the rat poison placed in receptacles in the sheds. A bit weird you say? Damn right! When the plastic eggs became no more the rats started in on the rat poison.




I have been told by someone in the know that plastic contains some ingredient that gives the rats a pleasurable feeling.

Ooh rats on a trip or on a high.

I have been supplying a substance of addiction to the rodents of our chook pen. No more though, it is rat poison from now on sorry.
