This may sound very glib but I am new so please bare with me. My chicks are too young yet but have to ask. What do you do with the eggs after they have layed? Do you keep them out for a while or put them straight in the fridge?
Also, do they have a longer shelf life than store bought eggs...
Well, been reading for about 3 weeks all your great info and convinced DH that we should get chickens even though he hated them. He lived near a chicken farm and could not stand the stink!
Anyway a few days ago we got 3 fuzzy butts ( Barred Rocks) keeping our fingers crossed they are all girls...
