GREAT TASTING
Follow these tips for clean, great–tasting eggs:
Use plenty of cushy nesting-box litter and check it often. Remove muck promptly. Dump everything out and replace it with fresh, fluffy litter at least once a month.
Collect eggs first thing in the morning and at least once or twice more during the day. The longer the eggs stay in the nests, the more likely they’ll become mud-smeared, splotted upon, or cracked. For the same reason, supply plenty of nesting boxes. Cutting down on traffic really helps the eggs.
Collect eggs in a natural fiber or coated wire basket (not the calf’s drained nursing bucket or the horse’s sweet feed scoop). To prevent breakage, don’t stack your eggs more than five layers deep.
Don’t clean eggs if they don’t need it. Carefully chase minor spots with fine grit sandpaper. When you must wash soiled eggs, do it as soon as you can, before the eggs have cooled. Cooling causes shells to contract and suck dirt and bacteria into their pores.
Use water that is 10 degrees warmer than the eggs themselves. This causes their contents to swell and shove surface dirt out and away from the shell pores. Gently scrub them in plain water or mild egg-cleaning
They’re more active than white Cornish-rocks and they bloom a smidge more slowly, but like dual-purpose breed broilers, they’re less susceptible to the structural problems that plague their faster-maturing kin.
Broiler’s timetable & Requirements BROILER don’ts
Unfortunately, astronomical weight gain comes at a hefty price to health. Cornishrock broilers’ broad-chested, meaty bodies mature faster than their skeletal structures can support them. Crippled legs and crooked breastbones are the norm with broilers.
