    Photo request

    This is nearly my entire backyard, suburban...only about 400sq feet. That's the side of my house on the left, then in the background that's actually my neighbors tree and one fence that I share with 1 of 3 neighbors.

    looks fine to me, there are lots of sites and charts that have A TON of normal vs abnormal chicken poop and what it might mean. I find them helpful when I see an odd looking poop

    Is this a tumor?

    I have no clue, but It might be helpful to find a vet that works on chickens to take a peek

    How was your winter?

    @TheEggCollecter , You cant imagine leaving NE, and I could not imagine leaving the Bay. I lived in Cleveland for 4 years and HATED the snow. It is a big deal breaker for me! haha.

    how to clean eggs?

    Marilyn15, If they look ok and arent too dirty I dont wash them at all. One thing I have read that you want to rinse them with water that is warmer, I dont remember why, but something about how it prevents bacteria from moving into the egg and shelf life

    How was your winter?

    Over in California we don't have snow, we had two bad rain storms that flooded the ground, but that's it. Our summers are more of an issue because the girls get so dang overheated.

    Anyone Cheese making?

    I recently got into cheese making. I have just started making fresh goat cheese, mozzarella, ricotta. I found out you can give the whey to you chickens! it is high in calcium. Anyone else try this or this hobby? would love find other chicken owners who are doing the same.

    5 days 5 eggs!!!!

    If the egg is super clean then I dont wash it. The protective bloom allows them to keep longer.
