Yohanan, So you are the expert for keeping chickens…. Wonderful — I will pick your brain if we are here past April. i had plans to get chickens this year, we have yet to build the coup or run (we have hawks, fox, deer, dogs, and even rabbits that I have to protect them from). We have watched countless YT videos on building a coup and how to keep them happy with food and water available, but have yet to start that project. In truth, I am praying we are gone very soon, like today, tomorrow, the next day, the day after that, etc…… :mdrmdr: Kolleen, There is a YT from pioneer girl that shows how eggs can be kept for months, not refrigerated, and she mentions to get unwashed eggs but does not tell why, so I greatly appreciate Yohanan for sharing that information on the rational. :good: Geri — I have had the double yolk and I’m sorry you tossed it — makes a great omelette. :yes: The poop on cartons, really doesn’t bother me much, but then with my background, not much about bodily fluids and so forth bothers me, just put on gloves and move on :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: So true on many levels — our creator God makes each snow flake different, each butterfly unique and beautiful (even the brown ones), we have so many beautiful flowers (here today, gone tomorrow), that is why it is so exciting to think of the beauty of the new Jerusalem and when he makes all things new during the millennial reign. :yahoo: Geri, thank you for the info about the egg yolk color. The few times I cracked an egg and an orange/red yolk came out, I thought something was wrong. (so used to the yellow)
