I get about 6 dozen eggs a day, and the rules of my local farmers market say the eggs must be washed. washing 6 dozen eggs is a pain! There is an auto egg washer on murray mcmurrays website, but its like 150 bucks, and then another 175 for the compressor to wash it. Is there an easy way to build...

So i have this Deleware hen, She was walking past me this afternoon and i saw that she had blood comming out of her vent. Her bottom, underside n e way, is swollen a little and feels like it is full of water.
Is she egg bound?
I've seperated her for now but i dont know what else i need to do
any good ideas?
my mom went to town and left me to cook them. and i really hate the way she cooks them. She just puts them in a baking pan with a little oil and salt and pepper.
I want something delicious.
Something other than plain baked pork chops.
Help.

So. my egg customers recently quit buying because there is soy mixed in the feed. They say that this is super bad because it makes girls reach puberty faster and makes boys feminine. Is there any proof of this? i find it to be a good source of protien for my birds and my pigs for that matter..
