have a question maybe someone can help me with. I let my silkie sit on a clutch of eggs & she hatched 2 chicks. We ended up buying more chicks & put them with her. She now has 16 chicks & they are all about 6-7 weeks old. I've had the silkie & chicks together in a small kennel (like the kind...

I should also add that the chicks & older chickens have been able to see each other from about 5 feet away since they were put in the kennel on day one.

Haha, both pics had 2 different colors & 2 different sizes...but your reasoning makes some sense...since we had been talking about colors earlier, I that that maybe fart eggs & their colors were yet another anomaly. Thanks for the post btw. :)

Haha! That was a good one for sure!! Glad I'm not the only one!

They can even be different colors??!! That's cool!

As the hens get older, & maybe running low on their egg supply, do their eggs get smaller? I have 2 hens that are in their 4th year. I still 1 that lays a jumbo white egg daily, the other lays a brown large egg, every other day. Is it possible that as her time is running out to lay that her eggs...

No, they've all laid before. They all have had their own distinctive shell colors which is how I knew who was laying what. But then they decided to change their colors to mess me up ;) The one that turned the "bluish" color used to be a shade of green/khaki with speckles. Funny, bc we named her...

Wow, that's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!

All 5 of my girls laid yesterday, which was the first time that they all laid on the same day. So it was the first time that I could tell who laid what with certainty. But yesterday, I got a blue egg! They were always like a khaki color & army green. The army green one is always blue on the...

I was up late, searching for answers on why my chickens egg colors were changing& came a crossed this thread. Guess I was too sleepy when i read this...I clearly see the APRIL FOOLS JOKE this morning...lol

Oh my goodness...it was a joke! I'm so gullible!!

In my own opinion, this is completely ridiculous, why do we have different breeds then to supply a different shade of egg?? If you want pink, blue, or green, then get Easter eggers or the true breeds that supply that color naturally. Idk, call me crazy, but isn't that the fun of having different...

Wow interesting! I've had chickens for over a year now & no fart eggs. But I've heard them fart!! Thanks for the clarification!!

What is a fart egg? That they farted & an egg came out??
