    Hen laid leathery egg filled with blood

    Thank you. I've been sitting with them all morning. So far one EE, the older RIR and one of the young RIR have laid their eggs. The other 3 are grooming themselves. Thankfully the weather here in SE PA is not so bad today. Their pen is at 68° right now.

    Hen laid leathery egg filled with blood

    thanks. All the pictures I've seen of lash eggs, none look like mine. All the pictures show a lash egg as being hard boiled like and none filled with blood. Mine was a soft shell filled with jelly like blood. Update on vet appointment. When I put Lily back in the pen there was a soft...

    Hen laid leathery egg filled with blood

    Hi. Has anyone every seen anything like this? One of my girls laid it this past Sat. I have 6 hens. All but one still lays eggs so I'm assuming it came from her. She hasn't laid since since last spring. I brought it to my Avian vet and she said she has never seen anything like it before...

    strange bugs on my chicken

    Thanks. I brought the bug to the feed store and they thought it might be a louse. Looking at pictures, it somewhat looks like a louse. The thing is, they are on them during the day and very easy to pick off them. My girls don't have anything like what you pictured. My top picture is...

    My 1+ yr olds have become picky eaters

    Sorry for being naive (thank GOD you all are here to educate me), so everything (even lettuce) is considered a treat that's not pellets, egg shells or crushed oyster shell? I hope you all didn't think I was giving the girls all those treats every day. I have small plastic containers that I put...

    My 1+ yr olds have become picky eaters

    Thank you all. I was worried that I needed to help them with their calcium (yogurt) and protein (meal worms, scrambled eggs, cheese) since one of the girls is molting. I also give them crushed egg shells. Is this as good as the crushed oyster shell or not? With their dry, I leave dry and...

    My 1+ yr olds have become picky eaters

    I've had the girls (3 sisters) for 4 mths now. As of about 3 weeks ago and going forward, they don't like bread, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, dried meal worms, scrambled eggs... anymore. They are still eating their pellets (which I have to wet), rammen noddles, lettuce, cheese, yogurt...
