    Too young for oyster shell?

    I'm really not sure where to put this, but it is sorta about feeding my different chickens, so I'm putting it here. I have a few sets of chickens in different life stages. I have a group of laying hens that are about 3 years old and in with them I have a new group of chickens (males and...

    Wrong color egg

    We bought some EEs from the feed store. They were advertiesd as Araucanas but I know that they are more correctly called Easter Eggers. Anyway, they are 22 weeks old now and should be laying or laying soon. We have gotten two pullet sized eggs recently but they are brown like my Buff...

    4 Hens, 5 Eggs?

    Yesterday my hens each laid an egg. Four hens, four eggs. This morning (well 11am ) I opened up the coop and found 4 eggs again. Just now my DD checked the nesting box and found a 5th egg! What the heck? I didn't think that was even possible. Normally we get 2-3 eggs. Four is very rare. Any...

    Chicken nails

    Rough egg

    One of my Barred Rocks is laying eggs like this http://www.thepoultrysite.com/publications/1/egg-quality-handbook/17/sandpaper-or-rough-shells Every egg she has laid has been like this. I don't think any of the reasons listed on that page apply to her. So, I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas...

    New here with a question

    Hi! We just got our first chicks from the store yesterday (2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Barred Rocks). They have some poop stuck to the ends of their toes and I was wondering if I should do something to clean it off for them. Also, the guy who helped us couldn't tell us for sure how old they are...
