I'm going to hard boil them today. Thanks.

I did the sink float test and they all all sank

So I was out looking for .y white leghorn and came Across these. I have 6 new chicken that just started laying . I have no idea how long these eggs have been here. Is there a way to tell if they are still good?

I'm so I can't really move the other hens that may bother her. Was wondering if I could put a small pet carrier on the roost to block the other hens or possibly build s fence out of chicken wire to keep them away. Here is a pic of what I have. As you can tell my coop isn't very wide 6' . That's...
