    Three part question :-)

    Hi chicken experts... 1.If I was out of town and my eggs were not collected for 2 days will they still be good? (About 75 degrees here during the last couple days...50's at night) 2.Is there a "test" you can do to see if they are good? I thought I read something about floating an egg once. 3.If...

    Depression Era recipes..(and others like it)

    I saw this recipe somewhere. It had a main ingredient of eggs. I thought it was a mix of eggs and cornstarch or something. I think it is a Spanish sounding name. It was very cheap and simple used in impoverished places and during the depression. I want to say flouta but that is not it. it is not...

    Very odd issue with my layer pellets

    Quote: After reading this...I would assume this is the answer tot he mystery. I did wash it out (in fact filled it completely full) a few hours before i put the feed in. I did let it dry out, but the cooler is probably 15 years old and may have a crack that is invisible to the eye. Very good...

    Very odd issue with my layer pellets

    So, I guess it may only be odd to me and normal for everyone else and i just don't know it. I put my 50 bag of pellet in a very large gatorade water cooler. Just like the ones you see football players dump on their coaches after a win. I mixed in a 3% food grade DE treatment. I had their large...

    I got 60 eggs from two chickens in one night!

    We didn't let any go to waste. a couple broke, but the rest have been scrambled and added to the "slop bucket"! I wasn't mad in the slightest. Life is too short to be mad about something like this! i thought it was hilarious. People are at my house today for the fourth and we are all still...

    I got 60 eggs from two chickens in one night!

    I have two layers. I checked the nest box before I put them up for the night...then in the morning, I saw this... So I guess this is what you get when you complain that your chickens didn't lay any eggs yesterday and your smart aleck brother in laws think it would be funny to sneak into your...

    will the birds be able to up to theis roost? pics

    The heavy breeds may have to get creative jumping from one thing to the next and ultimately making their way up there. The lighter breeds should make it in one jump. Looks like about 4/12 to 5 feet high?

    Already worrying about the upcoming winter!

    I built a 40 square foot coop over run house for my three girls. We used treated 2x6's on the top portion butted up against each other and secured. The bottom portion is hardware cloth. The top has two isosceles triangles that start off six inches wide and come together at a point after about...

    Any reason why I should't mix my scratch grains with my layer pellets?

    Just for pure simplicity, I would like to mix scratch and layer pellets to be able to store it all in one bin. I have a "treat tube" PVC pipe set up externally that I can still send them treats and grit etc. down the chute, but I would like to just give them the mix in their feeder and not have...
