    cornish cross and RIR

    I've had 2 reds that were raised for the first month with 9 other reds, 5 ducks the same age, one duck 2 weeks older and 2 rocks.

    To wash or not to wash eggs?

    I have to admit I would be confused if my hubby and I hadn't done sooooo much research before starting our chicken co-op :) I DO NOT WASH MY EGGS! it removes the natural protective coating. I refrigerate IMMEDIATELY because I have customers that have never even seen a live chicken. I wipe...
