    Eggshell is blue on inside and brown on outside

    Hi! My Whiting True Blue hen just laid her second egg and her eggshell is blue on the inside and brown on outside. I know the brown is a coating but is it common to see this on a purebred Whiting True Blue? Will her eggs eventually be blue? This is why I chose her breed!

    How do you scoop the poop out of the sand in the coop?

    I'm having the same issue with my sand-filled coop/run and 5 week old chicks. Tonight I happened to try to sift the sand with our steel kitty litter scoop, and the poop still went right through. Like you, I'm hoping to hear some advice, and especially to know if simply raking the sand is...

    My babies won't eat fermented feed

    My babies won't eat the chick starter I just finished fermenting. Should I wait or switch back to dry? They're 1 week old and have been on whole grain starter since birth. Thanks!!
