Having a backyard farm can be quite expensive from time to time. Costs add up for a variety of reasons, which is why DIY comes in so handy. You can quite easily make a chicken waterer at home yourself for under $50 with a few simple bits and pieces. It’s technically free if you already have them lying around!]]>

Candling eggs is the process of viewing the inner contents of a fertilized egg by placing it in front of a bright light (most people use a flashlight or a specific candling device). The reason its called “candling” is that they used to use a…...candle. Shocker, eh? Candling is used to estimate the age of an egg, as well as whether it’s been fertilized or if it’s going to rot. When you’re shining the light onto the egg, if you can barely see the yolk, you’ve got yourself a fresh egg, but if you’re seeing the yolk move around the egg freely and clearly, you’ve probably got an egg that’s older.]]>

Egg yolks can vary widely in color, and it can depend a lot on what your hens are eating. Colors can range from a golden yellow (that you’re likely used to) to deep orange and even green! Green yolks are caused by chickens eating Shepherd’s Purse, which they LOVE. Green yolks can also be caused by simply boiling them for too long, but we’re sure you’re experts at that by now!]]>
