    Egg shells too thick?

    I have a chicken that just started laying two weeks ago. Her egg shells are hard as rocks and the membrane under the shell is super tough too. The chickens pen is on top of gravel... Is this why?

    Fertile Eggs???

    Cool. Thanks everyone. I have been collecting the eggs every morning and putting them right in the fridge, so I should be ok!

    Fertile Eggs???

    New to this.... I have 3 chickens, 2 hens, 1 roo. One hen just started laying this week. How can I tell if they are fertilized or not? I have heard that these eggs are not fit to eat? Thanks

    Broke Chickens

    I have some broken chickens. 2 hens that havn't laid the 1st egg and a Rooster that don't crow. They are all at least 24 weeks old... What do you think? I know some hens won't lay until the next spring, but will they start this late?

    Apple Jacks- not a hit

    seen a bunch of people on here say their chickens like Cherios, so today I dug in the cabinet and found some Apple Jacks ( I actually work at Kelloggs ) They didn't care for it at all. But I went back inside and returned w/ the butt-end of a loaf of wheat bread and they went crazy like usual...

    My Chicken Coop

    Here are some pics of my Home Made Coop. I seen a picture of a coop like this one online for over $400. It took me maybe 6-7 hours total to build and cost around $100. I just added the 'dog kennel run' yesterday. We let our dogs roam free so it was just sitting there, and I felt like our...

    Another fart egg ~

    you know how much money you could make off of eggs that didn't have yolks in them?! People are always using egg whites only and having to separate the yolk. You could make a mint!

    Hens acting like Roosters?! (i hope!)

    thank goodness They have just all been so calm acting in their coop, and then when they got their new run it startled me the way they were all acting!

    Hens acting like Roosters?! (i hope!)

    Today I added a 6'x10' dog kennel to one end of my 'a' frame coop for the chickens to have a little more room to run. This is the first time they have been out since I got them about 3 weeks ago. I'm not sure how old they are, but I'm guessing 15-17 weeks. I have posted pix of them on here...
