100 laying hens for bait
 

Have approx 100 laying hens that are finished laying for good. Thought some here could use them for bait. PM to arrange pick up.
You can take em live or knock em and toss em.

A kind member corrected me to add the location lol.
They are located near vermillion.

Spent hens do make great soup stock too you know!!

But there is a little work involved getting to that point!

Seems like a shame to just use them for bait when people are hungry. Talk about food waste ? :confused:

Amount of meat on em makes bait the best alternative

I would donate them but they are not suitable for consumption. I keep these birds soo my friends, family and community have a fresh supply of eggs that cost them nothing.

beleive me bait is the best use
 

I used them for coyotes 10 years ago or more when local egg operation replaced laying hens. I had an empty pen so put about 20 in early fall to try to fatten them up for meat. No meat and hardly any feathers so first frosts of fall they were dying from exposure. think the major operations sell them to soup companies for pennies each as they might add a bit of chicken flavor to a broth but no meat on those bones unless you eat the innards. Not sure the coyotes were even that impressed.

They molted late and with the cold like you said just a matter of time befor they start dropping.

fantastic coyote bait.......stick 'em down a badger hole and set traps in the dirt pile.
