Hello - new to chickens but been on the turkey forum for awhile.....

[Turkey Trot]

Hello all. I'm in Florida, about 20 minutes out of Gainesville. I was gifted with three lovely Americanas by a friend, have a Royal Palm tom turkey and a mixed, mostly slate turkey hen as well as 6 Welsh ponies! Many thanks for all the good information provided herein. Is there a discussion on cleaning eggs once collected? My girls get a bit messy now and then. I seem to remember my great auntie using a drop or two of bleach in her egg wiping water, but want to be sure.

Kind regards,
Deb
