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, Tanith

Cool!!

That's awful!! Lucky you and the RSPCA are there to help them.

Yep, here too! It's usually raining..

Yes, but she definitely didn't have parasites or an illness she is still perfectly healthy. I de-mite and lice my chickens every week and check for eggs and mites/lice whenever I handle them (which is everyday, I only have six for eggs and pets), and whilst she was broody I dusted her every...

I'm no expert, but my hen lost weight rapidly, even though I took her out to eat and drink twice a day, her comb went pale and when I managed to break her she seemed to have cramp in her legs, she was very weak and could hardly walk. She was only in there for a little over three weeks, and she...
