chickens & eggs

The bloom of an egg protects it from bad bacteria. The eggs can be stored at room temperature for up to a month and then in the fridge for weeks after that without damaging the bloom.

Eggs should not be washed until you are ready to use or refrigerate them. When you wash your eggs, rinse them under cool water. Cooking and eating eggs that have not been washed can cause Salmonella infection. It is very important that you wash them before use.

We are proud owners of over thirty chickens. Here on the Ranch, our chickens are part of the family so we are careful to give proper medications when necessary. See this link for suggested must-have chicken meds. 

At Ryhu Ranch, we love each and every one of our chickens. We highly recommend anyone considering starting a flock to go for it! You can learn more about chickens and how to care for them from several great sites, one I like to refer our friends to is here.
