I you are like me every other day there is that one or two eggs that are very dirty. And if you clean them too hard they break on you. Easy tips soak them in a small container for twenty minutes. I do it for all my eggs and they are so much easier to clean. The dirt wipes right off no scrubbing...
Hello All, Cackle Hatchery comes up a lot when you search hatcheries. I was skeptical about using them but I am glad I did. I recently purchased 25 chicks from them after looking around for over a year at different hatcheries. The price was reasonable considering I had been paying 20 dollars for...

I noticed this today she couldn't have had it for more than one day. It was raining bad yesterday so I didn't get a good look at her. She is in a pin with two other hens and a rooster. Is there a way to heal her or is it time to say good bye. I hope not but I need to know what to do. Please...
