Flys are a nuisance on occasion, but adding DE (diatimatious earth) to the litter and laying fresh straw helps.
Eggs flat on one side? The shell? If the nest doesn't have litter/straw to cushion the egg, the egg will flatten as it lays on a hard surface...Eggs are warm and pliable at first, especially with young layers.
Celebrate “culture” in agriculture & share skills like growing, cooking, canning
