    Cleaning eggs

    Does anyone have a plan for an egg washer? They sell commercially for around $125.00. I can't afford that.

    What do you do when a hen starts sitting on the eggs everyday. We have quite a tussle before she leaves the nest. She is a large Buff Orpington. Just started doing this last week. I have no roosters!

    Nest boxes

    This is a removable system. Just set the milk crates on a 1x12x10 pine board with a 1x4x10 lip. When you want to clean, just lift up dump out and replace straw.

    nest boxes

    Take a 1"x12"x10' pine board and attach a 1"x4"x10' pine to the front edge. Sit this on 4 cinder blocks and place your crates right on it. When you want to clean, just lift out the crates empty and refill with straw. Very easy and inexpensive set-up.
