Does anyone who ships eggs want to write a "How to Ship Eggs" article?

I think that's a great idea!

That would be a good one. I am shipping some eggs this week and will take some pics as I go, and consider writing an article on it.

I hope you write it! I've never shipped eggs, but know quite a lot of effort goes into shipping them without being broken. Would love to read your article.

How about a "Hatching Eggs - Selection & Storage" article?

Yes please!!! ^^^

I just had another article idea regarding something I'm struggling with. "Dealing With Human Aggressive Pullets and/or Hens". I've found threads on this topic but the majority of advice is for regular standard sized pullets and hens and my aggressive meanie is a little Serama. I don't think this is a common problem thankfully, but I know I'm not the only one trying to figure out how to proceed. Including information and tips/tricks for all sizes of hens and/or pullets would be wonderful. I'm afraid to peck my little brat hard enough to make a difference.

*Not trying to go off topic with the details but throwing out some information I'd love to read about in an article

Here's a submission on Chicken Orthopedics.

Chicken Orthopedics, splay leg, broken and malformed.

The boys guarding the perimeter. About six months ago I obtained 3 Silkie roosters. Granted, when I got them I thought 2 were hens. But being close siblings and egregiously outnumbered by much larger chooks, they act as a single unit. So I kept them. The cuteness factor was very persuasive...

Water bottle. A really good one. I control 4 dogs, 3 cats, 32 hens, 7 roosters, 4 grandchildren and 1 husband will a spray bottle filled with water. I don't play nice, I have it on stream and I spray them square in the head. After a bit, you just have to pick it up and they correct themselves.

Sure. I thought I did. But....I'm better at chickens than technology.

I think I did it. All the photos didn't seem to post.
