Yes , clean it as soon as possible , use a little bleach to clean then flush several times with just water.....if you don't clean , you'll have the rotten egg smell and it will kill the other eggs.....I had this happen before with chick and guinea eggs , collected and put in incubator , then had...

There are many places that have shipping crates , ask around.....my wife works for a service company , they deliver about 200 to 300 crates a week ( they contain plastic film rolls that are used to shrink wrap or to package items (hard plastic)) ....they come in 12in x12in x 6 or 8 ft or 18x18 x...

It kinda depends on outside temp.....if it's around 100 deg she can wander for an hour or so easy....if about 90 or so about 20 to 30min then back too sitting.....if she spends the nite , all is well!!!!.....

I agree pine breaks down slowly.....find some hay from a farmer nearby , you might ask about cow manure ( I give mine away for free if you come with shovels and load yourself) , this will speed up the process. I usually stack 1/2 manure and 1/2 hay with grass clippings etc....I bolted 6 wood...

If people only new what is in their food and how it's processed they'd be more organic and purchase locally and would not buy from Wal Mart etc......we've had chickens for years , eat the eggs and sell what we don't eat , people are amazed at the taste difference of fresh to store...
