I have a mini fridge in my shed where I store my eggs. When I went to get some for my niece today, I opened the door and found that the ice that had been in the upper freezer portion was all melted – and there was water all over my eggs. The eggs in styrofoam cartons seem relatively dry, but...

I know there's a whole lot of threads about this subject already, but the more I read, the more unsure I become. I have eight silkies and 11 mixed breed (sex-links, ameraucana, etc.) chickens. I found a roundworm in a goey pile of poo the other day - I think it was about 1.5" long. Also, I can...
