All the eggs look great! And I could ask the same question! Although, I am very glad to have family to rely on for keeping watch over our animals and property. I can't get too upset over a *few* piled up eggs! They're lovely to have helped as much as they have!
My husband and I went on a trip and had some family keeping an eye on our animals for us. I came home to find that although our 23 chickens had been fed and watered, no eggs were collected in 2 weeks. There are 160 eggs today to collect- I ran out of cartons, I'll be back out in a couple hours...

Rotten as in the entire yolks were almost dissolved into the white, not old. The food was yucky and moldy, I went ahead and cleaned out what was there, the chickens really didn't seem too interested, I think they'll be okay. I'll keep an eye on them over the next few days. Thanks for the advice...
My in-laws decided that my chickens (23 of them, about 15 weeks old) need the old rotten eggs and food from the fridge. I found out a little bit ago, too late. Will my chickens get sick by eating a dozen rotten eggs and bad food from the fridge? I'm trying not to get too upset at the moment, I...
