There is always some poop on some of the eggs. They do get out of the boxes though…

So I changed the bedding in the nesting boxes yesterday and today the eggs were fine. I have two broody silkies. Wondering if them sitting in there all day and pooping is doing something gross….

I actually had 6! But two have already been rehomed because I was sure they were roosters and I felt I didn’t have space for space for six birds!
