We cracked a raw egg this morning and noticed a couple of dark flecks floating in the egg. Are these safe to eat? What causes them? Doesn't look like blood to me.
Boring, Oregon (a place name, not an adjective) I have six sexlinks …try to say that ten times. They are happily living in a chicken tractor we move around in our lawn every day or two.
Hi Caroline,
I live in Boring, Oregon (a place name, not an adjective).
My wife's cousin gave us six of their mixed-breed hens and they only laid 2-3 eggs in two months. So we traded them for these sexlinks and immediately started getting 2-3 eggs every day.
I'm new to this site and new to keeping chickens. I have started with six sexlinks (three red and three black.) I have them in a chicken tractor that I move onto anew piece of lawn every day or two. We are having a blast and getting 2-3 eggs every day.
