    (Picture Inside) One hen laid three eggs, one with blood on outside. All in same day?

    Hi again, everyone! Well, I'm utterly confused now. I think y'all may be right about those eggs being from multiple chickens. Today, just hours after my husband stirred the pine shavings, I found two more brown speckled eggs. Does anyone know if Rhode Island Reds (Production Reds) can lay...

    Thank you everyone for the replies. I don't believe this is from one of the new layers. Because the eggs are speckled, I believe they came from my Welsummer who is 1 or 2 years old and was laying at her former owner's home.

    Thank you for your response. I read on a website somewhere that it is possible but very rare. So do any breeds that I have other than Welsummers lay speckled eggs? (I have Production Reds, EEs, a Brahma, and a Welsummer). I am also wondering if there's any concern about that much blood.

    (Picture Inside) One hen laid three eggs, one with blood on outside. All in same day?

    Hi y'all! I tried searching the forums for an answer but had trouble finding anything that fit this scenario. Today we found three eggs in a corner of the chicken coop, all of the same type, and one of them with blood on the outside. The three eggs seem to be from the same chicken. They were...

    My Little Rooster Went to Heaven.

    I am so heartbroken for you. He sounds like he had a really good life, loved by a wonderful family. May God give your family peace through this difficult time. <3

    Something is wrong with my new cockerel's foot

    I haven't taken a picture yet, but I paid closer attention to him today. The toes aren't curled under, but are bent out to the side. Actually it's quite like the second picture in this post. I found this link that has a similar picture and description...

    Something is wrong with my new cockerel's foot

    I don't think I want to remove the toes; I'm too worried I'd make something worse. Actually, he seems to be roosting just fine. I went in there tonight and he was perched up there with the ladies. I'm not as worried as I was now that I know it's been like this for a while and since he's...

    Something is wrong with my new cockerel's foot

    Okay, so I picked him up tonight and tried to straighten his foot, to no avail. It is definitely calloused on those two toes. By the way, thanks for your help so far, froggiesheins. I had no idea where to start looking for answers.

    Something is wrong with my new cockerel's foot

    Yes, he is walking on it at all times. I've only had him for a few hours, really. I'll try straightening it tomorrow if I can catch him and calm him down.

    Something is wrong with my new cockerel's foot

    Hi everyone! We just took home our first chickens this evening (15 pullets and 1 cockerel). They are 3 1/2 month old Rhode Island Reds. When we put them in their coop, I noticed that the cockerel's foot (just one) looks hurt. Two of his "toes" are curled under and he is walking on them. It...
