Thats a great idea - writing on them. I've had to explain to family before. "Why the fake eggs?!?" My two year old still doesn't get it. "egg?" no - it's fake!

I'm using two right now. One in each lay box. They seem to work pretty well though I did lose a couple over the years and never could figure out where the heck they went. I'm not sure if there's any reason NOT to use them. So I recommend!

in case the link disappears some day

Oh no! I haven't used anything like that before but I can't imagine any of my hens would allow for it. Have you tried the number posted above? Keep us updated!

keep us updated @Touchstone !

thanks for the input @chrismahon! I hadn't realized it would potentially be so difficult! I do have the ability to cordon off an area for the new chicks. I will have the ability to supervise them so that won't be an issue. Thanks again!

one today!

Wow thanks so much @Birdking ! I'm going to give this a read through and I will post any questions below!

My hens are about 5 years old. I want to add a few more chicks to the flock. What's the best way to do this? Any pitfalls to avoid? Thanks in advance!

My chickens don't really go near water. It'd be interesting to see how they act around a pond

Welcome to the forum @Junebug ! I'm no turkey expert but my untrained eye doesn't see anything there that looks immediately concerning. How's she behaving? Eating sleeping pooping active like normal?

That's a great way to think about it @Shadrach I like your approach a lot.
