    Antibiotics for chickens - suggestions?

    As of Jan. 1, 2017 law requires a prescription for it. As such, none if our feed stores carry it anymore. From what I understand any antibiotic administered orally or on feed is covered under that law. Tetracycline works great for blue comb and mycoplasms.

    Is this goat supposed to look like that?

    Washing eggs before storing them to eat?

    I don't wash ours, but selling the eggs to townies I sometimes need to clean them up a bit. I polish them(when needed) with dry baking soda. Hope that isn't a problem.
