Thats what I do just air dry them

Thank you

so far just one that I have found

Can someone tell me if it is normal for a 3 year old hen to lay a soft egg after molting. It is also still cold in MO and it's still gets dark by 6PM. She started to lay again and the first 4 were ok now she laid a soft egg while roosting at night. I have 4 other hens and none of them have...

I have mice moving in as well. I cover all feeders at night and the waterers are hanging so no one can get to them. Its frustrating. I have cats and dogs and no luck. I have tried all kinds of traps and they dont catch a thing. Im so worried they will over run my chicken area and hurt my...
