over the last two days these are a few of the eggs I got!! I thing the HUGE one is going to have a double yolk, but I'm looking forward to seeing what's inside the quail-sized one!! This is one of the reasons I love chickens... you never know what you're gonna find in the nestbox ;)...
Sorry I'm late in replying! Lucky I didn't eat it!! Seems kind of obvious now I know:)
Next one I get I'll cook it and either give it to my dog or back the hens:)
Thanks!
This is probably a really stupid question, but can you eat soft-shelled eggs??
One of my hens laid a soft egg today (no shell). I've only had them twice before, one time it was already broken and the first time I wasn't on BYC so wasn't sure and left it too long and it went bad!!
Thanks,

It doesn't usually get very hot round here but it is very warm at the moment. I have noticed a couple of my hens are "panting". Is it anything to worry about? I remember this happened last year, but not as much..
I don't have a fridge or freezer so I can't give them any cool food or anything:/...
!! Wood ash helps, but doesn't cure the problem, sorry I'm not sure on other treatments, just don't use coal ash it encourages mites (particularly Scaly Leg)
