    Bake eggs do not boil

    I came across a site that had another method to "boiled" eggs that peel easily...Bake the eggs at 325 for 20-25 minutes run cold water over them and the shell will come off with no problems. I tried it with one egg in case it didn't work. I used an egg that was collected that morning and it...

    Are raw split peas/barley ok to feed?

    I am a bit confused as I have read that giving raw rice can kill a chicken because it will swell up. Would this be the same for all other foods that absorb liquid? I have some barley and split peas that I would like to give my girls but am thinking they must be cooked first.
