    Egg color?

    We have some Rouens that are laying really well right now. According to Metzer, Rouens lay about 35% blue/green eggs, and we are getting about that from our five hens.

    Clean & Beautiful

    No more mud! She's all shampooed, dried, fluffed and looking marvelous. The color is a super gentle shampoo and because she's so white, it takes a few drops of red to turn her completely pink! Anybody know how to get the stains out of the top puff? I didn't want to scrub that close to her eyes. ???
