The coop I built is on a concrete slab. You can see the base is a 2x12 on edge, and originally I simply caulked it at the bottom where it meets the concrete. But now 2 years later the coop has settled and it's leaking along a whole 8' section and other smaller spots. I pulled out the caulk on...
I get this weird egg and it's a beautiful creamy color and always very oblong with a pointed end. The single breeds that I have are buff Brahma, black Australorp and a white Giant. For the life of me I can't figure out who's laying this egg! Anybody?

I read a few threads regarding whether or not fermented feed can be frozen. I've got more than I can feed my birds before it'll go sour, so looked into this.
This flock is new, as my others were killed by a fox, so I'm starting over. Dusting myself off and all that...
They are "free range" which...
