As to why they don't get sick, same reason you can spray your grass with some weed killers and they'll only kill the weeds.

So, what do we spray on the chickens? 🤔😯

Should be able to clean up as long as my wife agrees to do the cleaning.

Reality, you can buy sexed chicks at Rural King. Only female chickens lay eggs. A male chicken,rooster, is the one that crows and it will impregnate the female chickens. A fertilized egg has an embryo. What is called a blood spot. You, we do not eat those. Eggs with two yolks are fairly common. What we buy. A dozen all the same size and type is not normal.

Far as I know none of the villages allow you to keep chickens o any live stock.

Multiple villages bordering areas that have chickens. Two of our homes we can hear the rooster crowing every morning. Bonus, get on their list to buy eggs, pastel blue and green shells work well outside of Easter. Some do find the very Orange yolk off putting

OK we will hide the coop in the back and give our neighbors a 25% discount. Problem solved

1. ALL birds lay eggs. It's one of the things that makes them birds.
2. Hens kept in insanely close quarters under horrible unsanitary conditions and forced to endure having their beaks cut off (so they can't peck each other), are more likely to get sick than hens that are raised in healthy environments. If ONE bird gets sick in a coop of 10,000 hens, then the entire coop is compromised.

Us at home, restaurants, bakers, factories producing bread, pancakes and waffles. ice cream, and on an on. We use a lot of eggs in the U.S. every day. I went to Wolfy's in Leesburg and they are charging a .50 cent surcharge per egg. So is Dennys and Waffle House.

There's no egg in ice cream. Contrary to some twisted, but popular belief, eggs are not dairy. They are poultry.

Does that mean it's not ice-cream? Maybe it's really frozen custard? Or is it a frozen embryo smoothy?
