    Odd egg laid

    My girls have taken a break from laying for about a week now. I came home to this odd egg. I believe it’s considered chalky but it also has an odd bump on the end. My Storey’s Guide said it was a glitch in the reproduction system. Is there anything I should do to prevent this or will it...

    Ant control

    Thank you so much! I’ve sprayed them out with water. Once it dries, I’ll try it out. With cedar shavings. Our straw is damp and will be going into the garden now.
