First, look: fresh eggs have a rather rough shell with a frosty powder on it and a bright luster; older eggs have a smoother shell, and rotten eggs have a dull, dark shell with grease stains on it.

What are some pig-herding techniques? A few tricks to teach you how to herd pigs with ease
1. Design a path for the pigs: whether entering the pig house or loading onto a truck when selling pigs, there should be a human-designed path, and the walls of this path are best made of fixed, sturdy walls; if there are none, temporary walls can be used, such as replacing them with iron railings, replacing them with long strips of colorful cloth (feed packaging bags can also be sewn together into long strips of cloth), or using other opaque boards, so that the pigs can see that only moving forward is the right way, and in this way the pigs will generally follow the path designed for them; this method is quite practical when moving sows between groups. 2.
