    Did I Ruin the Eggs?

    I did this about a month ago. I don't get around to cooking eggs super often so I was trying to make them last longer. It just fianlly dawned on me to ask people here who would know better. We also give some of our eggs to anyone who wants some. So I essentially ruined 3 dozen eggs 😕 I feel...

    Did I Ruin the Eggs?

    You might be right to just throw them out. I do have more from our lady birds and I think this was a lesson to not do something I haven't fully researched haha. Especially not so many at a time.

    Did I Ruin the Eggs?

    I'm not sure if this question belongs here, but it was the closest I could find. So I heard about rubbing clean fresh eggs with olive oil to preserve the eggs longer. I don't always get to them quickly so I wanted to make them last longer without waste. I have heard about the other technique...

    How dangerous is Chicken Poop? Am I TOO Clean about it?

    I don't take it as mean at all :) But actually very accurate. This isn't the only thing that I have a major drive to be clean about. However it is the worst of them. Thank you for adding this insight though as it does help me put my fear into perspective :)

    How dangerous is Chicken Poop? Am I TOO Clean about it?

    Sorry I just saw your post. It was mostly when we lived with someone and my son was about 2. Big enough to walk around and touch everything but not big enough to wash his hands before putting them in his mouth. The person would touch the eggs and crack them (yes they were rinsed but not...

    Do people do mean things with free roosters?

    We need to re home our rooster, as we live in city limits and cannot have them. We just found out he is a he as the babies we got just turned 21 weeks old and I finally figured out which one started to crow. We don't want him killed at all. But I did find someone who owns a farm and asked if...

    How dangerous is Chicken Poop? Am I TOO Clean about it?

    I wear the mask more becuase I don't want to inhale any chicken poo germs when "dusting up" the bedding during cleaning. We use pine shavings and there isn't a ton of dust, but for me any is a lot haha. I do miss the times I didn't mind going into their coop area and didn't think so much about...

    How dangerous is Chicken Poop? Am I TOO Clean about it?

    Thank you so much for your honesty and telling me about your phobia! It helped me feel better too, knowing I'm not alone in germ phobias. Yes having my son did trigger this phobia because the person I was living with when he was 2-3 years old, would touch the eggs or crack them right on the...

    How dangerous is Chicken Poop? Am I TOO Clean about it?

    We have had chickens for about 7-8 years now. At first I wasn't AS obsessed with how dangerous their poop can be. I washed my hands of course, but I would open the coop in the morning and hop right back in bed. My daughter was about 8 when we first got chickens and was old enough to know to wash...

    Rooster or Hen? So confused!

    Thank you SO much everyone! The others are obvious hens (aside from the obvious rooster lol) but I was really worried about the black one. I feel so much better knowing we only have one rooster! :) Now we just have to hope that a crow collar will work to keep him quiet.

    Rooster or Hen? So confused!

    We are pretty sure the multi colored one is a rooster as it is trying to crow, chases the other chickens, flaps feathers as if to show off, and if you zoom in there is a little knob on the upper leg like a spur growing in. However I am confused about the black one (most likely a black...
