    eggs smelly

    Thank you for your advice. Their diet is good and all look good. I check them over all the time making sure no sores or mites. Use DE in their pen and outside area. All the other eggs are beautiful except the ones that suddenly changed from dark brown to white. I crack my eggs separately...

    eggs smelly

    I have noticed my black sex link eggs have turned white. Myself and daughter have noticed that the yellow is speckled with blood and looks like chunks of egg shell or something. She opened one and said it looked cloudy and smelly. It was laid the day before. I have 2 sexlinks so don't know...

    Discarded produce from the market

    Yes, this grocery stores gives to the needy also. This is foods that they take off the shelves after they box up for churches, otherwise it goes into dumpster. What my chickens don't eat also goes into my compost for my gardens. It is amazing how much food is wasted in the US. I think all...

    Discarded produce from the market

    We know our produce manager and they put the veggies and fruits in 55 gal buckets with ice to keep it fresh. We pick it up about 10 am. I sort thru it to get onions, garlic and avocados out of it. A great amount of the food is still good quality. You would not believe all the foods I have...

    sneezing and coughing chickens

    I use organic crumbles, organic mixed grains, black oil sunflower seeds and organic feather fixer. In their nest I use wood shavings. Also I give them mealworms for protein as I know they need more protein when molting. They are on 18 per cent protein food and I give them greens and fruits...

    raining

    The 10x10 is chain link fencing with fenced top with a tarp over it. That is where they roost, eat and lay eggs. Some don't have many feathers right now and I was wondering if they got soaked in the heavy rain, which they usually get out and get soaked, will they get sick? And yes their pen has...
