Last year I never washed my eggs. If they were dirty, I would wipe them with a dry cloth. I was SURE that I had read somewhere on this forum that you should wash your eggs, so I have been doing so for the past couple of weeks. I've always kept my eggs in the fridge, too. I have no...

We either eat them or give them to friends. On occassion I even get a toonie for a carton! I like the idea of taking extras to food shelters. Will have to do that. Thanks for the thought.

I'm also new here. Look forward to learning with you!

Just thought I'd do a quick stop in to introduce myself. I live in Central Ontario, Canada (2 hours north of Toronto). We currently have 19 layers and Chuck. Chuck was supposed to be a layer, but, well... he isn't. From looking over the breed pages, I'm going to say we have Red Stars...
