I read somewhere that you should only buy eggs from the store, because da gubmint inspects them to make sure they’re safe. /s

Chickens should not be kept in a pen. They should “Free Range” over the yard. That way they can get all the bugs and grass they want and need. Ours have 3 acres+ to go over. Lay large brown eggs that have a very dark yolk, almost orange in color. Fryers should be raised the same way, search “Pastured Poultry”, best chicken you will ever eat. Time to go feed.

When I was growing up, we found a big muscovy duck frozen into the ice in one of our creeks. We rescued it, and put him in the chicken house for the winter.
Shortly after this addition, our chickens started laying much better. While we didn't know why this addition would affect egg production, we went with it, and named the duck "Coach" (Those that can't so, coach).
Spring came, and the duck left. Soon egg production went back to normal. Weirdest thing I ever saw.
