Nekton MSA is probably the best treatment for birds laying soft-shelled eggs. Adding apple cider vinegar to the water also helps.
Thanks!! I will try to order some of that. I have some AC vinegar I can put in there now.
Ah, yes...I should have known. He has beautiful eggs, and shares.
If you ever figure out what to do with your soft shell layer, please share. Our silkie does that. It drives me nuts. We keep oyster shells in there all the time now, but it doesn't help. We get one good egg about every 3...
Meg, those eggs are beautiful!!! I am such a sucker for colorful eggs. I really need some hens that lay those dark eggs. My Cuckoo Marans are pretty, but not that dark. We need a couple more Ameraucanas, too. We just finished our 3rd coop. I think there will be some room in one of them...
The heat is a big concern. We have open air coops, and doubt I could put AC in there, or that it would even be effective. Today I noticed the chickens in the coop with the bunny were crawling in his hole to say against his frozen water bottle. Poor things! And poor bunny! He was a little...

We are not in Tucson, but come into town sometimes. We are about an hour and a half south of Tucson. I also have the human kind of critters. There are not a lot of difference, really. They are both super cute, sweet, and stinky.

Laree, that video is hilarious!!! Seems like you could take that hen's mad sounds, do a little editing, and you might just have the next youtube craze!
I'm sorry if you have to get rid of your chickens. But, the government certainly does have the right to make these laws, and has for many years. There is no private property, but the government owns it all. We merely lease the rights to this land. If you don't think that is true, try not...
mrsruvi!!! The heat is the only issue I know of.
Totally off topic, but I am so excited today! I am missing my church (which I almost never do) to go to Tucson to Calvary Chapel. Ken Ham is speaking this morning and tonight!!! I know he did yesterday, too, but I can't justify driving to...
Ah, Becky...I am soooooo sorry to hear about your dad. That is heartbreaking. How are you doing?
Tanichca--What happened to your favorite silkie? Sorry to hear about that. What is a BQ silkie?
