How To Care For Yard Eggs. Most states require that the eggs come from hens in your direct care and large-scale flocks more than 3000 hens. To prevent eggs from getting dirtied up do your best to keep the hens nesting boxes clean.
This is one of the most common questions I get about raising chickens for eggs. You should have a moist sandy soil substrate at least 8-12 inches 30 cm deep. On average an egg needs to have a constant temperature of 100 degrees fahrenheit to hatch.
Try to use a dry cleaning pad wherever possible because when you run water over an egg you are removing its bloom.
You can take each of the eggs and mark the top of each egg before removing it from the original location. Warm water is enough. You should keep them in the same orientation that they are laid. Take care when moving the eggs.
