    Soft Shell, Double Egg, Floor Egg Mystery

    Oh my. That sounds totally distressing. I want to update you and everyone who has watched this thread that my EE has evened out and now is a consistent daily layer! Haven’t had any weird eggs since my last update about a month ago (although last week she layed an enormous goose sized double...

    Soft Shell, Double Egg, Floor Egg Mystery

    Well this morning when I came to let the girls out I found two soft shelled eggs under where she roosts. It seems when she lays a second egg she is passing it with droppings, or in this case passed both with droppings. I’m not sure why she is egg production overdrive, I should mention she layed...

    Soft Shell, Double Egg, Floor Egg Mystery

    Thanks for the reassuring words and advice. I’m keeping an eye on her, she laid a healthy egg in the box this AM but I had to leave for work before I could check if she laid another. I’ll follow your advice and keep BYC updated with what happens. Hoping it is just some hiccups with getting...

    Soft Shell, Double Egg, Floor Egg Mystery

    Yeah I was blown away. I am absolutely certain it is her laying two eggs as, she is the only bird I have that is laying age and, she is the only bird I have that lays blue eggs. I am not seeing this everyday. She will lay at irregular intervals. For example she may lay in the early morning for...

    Soft Shell, Double Egg, Floor Egg Mystery

    All of the sudden my EE has started laying soft shelled eggs on the floor when typically she lays in the nesting box. Yesterday I saw her in the nest like she was laying however when I came back 30 minutes later I found two eggs on the ground laid by her that had been broken open, one had a...

    Help! Weeks of watery diarrhea

    Thank you, yeah my girls are doing seemingly fine. I provided some rice but no change in the diarrhea with polish, in fact now my 6 month EE has very watery diarrhea as well but it is definitely very HOT here. She’s still laying regularly. It’s hard to not feel concerned given how long it’s gone...

    Help! Weeks of watery diarrhea

    My ten week old Polish hen has had very thin watery poops for a few weeks now. Initially I thought it was just because of a spike in the heat but it has been continuing since then. I haven’t noticed if she has had more solid poops beyond the watery diarrhea but it seems like not. None of my...

    Pullet or cockerel?

    That looks like a pullet

    Sexing Easter Eggers

    To me these both look like pullets, tan is a good color for a hen that age and both combs appear to be single row pea combs. Neither is showing red patches on the shoulder and have fairly consistent even patterns on the back. You’ll have more clarity in the next few weeks but I think those are...

    agreed, this looks like a pullet to me although they have some roo like characteristics. I think her comb would be brighter if she was a rooster and she would have glassier neck feathers and pointy saddle feathers. Also Maybe some iridescence in the tail. The thing that makes me really think hen...

    Sexing Easter Eggers

    :-/ As I thought, but since I’m fairly new to chickens and havent had a rooster yet I’m glad to get a second opinion. They are a great bird but I can’t have a roo where I live. Fortunately he is going to a farm where he will have a flock of similarly aged hens. Thank you for your help.

    Sexing Easter Eggers

    I wanted to try to post one more time to see if I could get some help identifying the sex of this bird, I really can’t tell but I know someone who would like to take them if they are a roo. They are about 9 weeks old now, apologies for the less than great photos let me know,

    Sexing Easter Eggers

    Hello there BYC, I was wondering if anyone could help identifying if I in fact have have an EE roo on my hands. S/he was purchased as a sexed chick but are showing so many signs of being male I’m having trouble holding onto hope she might be a hen. I want to get another opinion before I look...
