OR...... maybe I can take one of my brown eggs and use some white out!!! LOL!!!

Might have to rustle one eh?? LOL!!

Don't have to use white out - I just use a scrubby to get the "brown" icky stuff off! I do that because my customers want a white egg or two in the box and I'm not about to give them any Icelandic eggs, so it's a scrubbing for me!

Oh, yeah Julie, "Himself", it's a British thing, at least "ourself" all used it in our family!

Chickens will also peck on each other if they are overcrowded and do not have enough room. For standard size breeds, it is recommended that they have 3-4 sq ft per bird inside the coop and at least 10 sq ft per bird in a confined run. It may be that you need to get rid of a few if you cannot make/find another coop for them so that the one's you keep each have enough room.

Ok and on a serious note, you can't scrub off the brown can you??? And why would you customers want WHITE eggs anyway!!

Well I had a bad day today when it comes to hatching. I finally got enough eggs again to put under the broody. And I pulled out the older eggs. they were 4 days behind. The first egg I cracked had a live chick in it.

. So I put the rest of the eggs back under her. Well tonight she decided she was done.
