Hello from Windsor, UK. We have a little flock of three Bantam Faverolles who delight us everyday. My head girl Nutmeg thinks she’s a rooster and regularly crows when she wants out (but still lays well!). They are a lockdown success story and we have pretty much built them a palace as they do...
I am curious as to why you can’t use slightly dirty eggs as you are not eating the shell. Most of mine are, and sometimes a little blood. What happens if you water glass them please?
