Wet bulb reads 96 and dry reads 100. I have just the middle trough filled? Can I put my eggs in or is this too high? I’m putting goose eggs in. Do I need to wash the goose eggs before I set them in. I do not have an electric turner, and I’m getting mixed opinions on how often to turn. Any...

i just finished building a chicken tractor/hoop coop structure for my laying hens. I intend to have them on fresh grass often all summer long. Do I need to now build them a coop for winter, or are they ok in this thing all year round? I have a LONG electric poultry fence that will go around the...

Hi all! Getting my flock of day old laying hens tomorrow and opted to avoid getting a rooster for now. For me, the biggest reason is the noise. All my neighbors have roosters that crow all day long and some of them sound more like a screaming banchee than a bird.... anyway, I'm not 100% sure...
