    HELP!!! My chicken is laying smelly eggs with black yokes

    Yeah I saw the posts but this is sporadic and it would seem if she was suffering from a staph infection or any infection that was untreated the symptoms (black smelly eggs) would persist.

    apple cider vinegar

    I have a plastic bucket fitted with poultry nipples, I suppose they are aluminum, will the ACV be no good in this waterer? Also I need to get the organic ACV I see.

    Hello New in Richmond,VA

    Critta, how is the coop? Our girls started laying a week or two ago so we quickly finish up the nest box and everything looks pretty great. Any eggs yet?

    Hen Laying Ages?

    Golf ball and a rounded rock worked for our ladies. After the first two eggs were randomly found in the run we finished up the neat box and they have figured it out :)

    Soft Shelled Egg Questions

    I've noticed the same thing, maybe it's some of my girls first times but the weak paper thin small eggs have been found under the roosting area and not in the box. All the other ladies. Have figured out the box after the first (or initially)!

    DIY Thread - Let's see your "Inventions".

    I did! Here is the final product, some changes occurred but mostly with the roof framing which weren't completely sketched. It was a great learning process and we gained knowledge and tools along the way.

    Golden Comets

    I was told (and it had proven true) that you will see their comb/wattle become a brighter truer RED when they are ready to lay. Maybe it's tied into puberty, my Golden Comet when from a pale ashy red to a brighter color Hopefully this gives you some idea of when. Also my girls eggs are a dark...

    Golden Comets

    Here are a few of my little Fluffy Butt, Comet. This is her recently, helping us build the nest box. She's such a social girl.

    Golden Comets

    I've read on the SLW thread that they lay cream colored smaller eggs. The dark one is rather larger for a first egg I think. Wouldn't a larger first egg mostly likely come from a genetically bred produced?

    Golden Comets

    My GC is the sweetest friendliest of my bunch, and they are all pretty great. Can anyone tell me if this is her dark brown egg? I think it may be her first. She's 4 1/2 months old.
