This is my embden gosling I ordered from metzer farms. This one was not sexed but I'm curious to know the gender. I have read that the females are a darker grey than the males but just ordered one embden so I have no other birds of it's breed to compare to. I know color sexing isn't the most...

One of my older hen lays eggs looking like this. What is the cause of this? Can I fix it? And she is the cause of egg eating in my flock when an egg comes out like this, it bust when it's laid and she eats it and has passed that habit to the other flock members

Last weekend my chickens moved coops they went from a small coop to a big coop and new members have been added to the flock (which are not laying yet). I got a couple of eggs the first day then the next day it went to a halt getting no eggs except for my ducks. I figured it was just stress so I...
