That egg is most likely either going to be a double (or triple) yolker or it could even be an egg within an egg. Very rarely, as the egg receives its shell, which is the last thing to happen, it will reverse enough that as the...

I have three Barred Rocks and three Rhodies. My rocks have all started to moult but none of the Rhodies are. I was wondering if anyone else has seen moulting to be breed specific like that.

What I thought was odd is apparently not so odd! My RIR Pearlie (we call her garbage gut) used to eat the flaking paint off our garage door. She also eats the little plastic care tags that come with plants. They also got hold...
