    Egg help?!?

    I’ve heard it’s normal for young one to lay not so good and small eggs when they start until they get in a routine and learn their body basically and then will they start laying good eggs! I have 6 chicks that are 6 weeks old tomorrow, one of them being a rooster. I have not had any pullets...

    Egg help?!?

    Yes you should! It isn’t always possible but it’s best to get them out ASAP. If you are having an eating problem like that definitely go early and get them out so they can’t eat them. If you do that for long enough hopefully they will forget to even peck them later on down the road. Now, are...

    EGG EATING, HELP!!!

    I have no clue but it doesn’t look good. Maybe so. The other 2 hens are laying perfect large strong eggs and are normal as could be.

    EGG EATING, HELP!!!

    The picture below is what I found in her nest today. She stayed in her nest for over 2 hours today. She isn’t feeling good I can tell. She actually let me pick her up without making a noise or move, also while her eyes were basically closed. She let me look under her wing without any resistance...

    EGG EATING, HELP!!!

    I have started mealworms and they now have free choice oyster shell and haven’t touched them yet. They were good eggs that they pecked through. Now one of the girls eggs is getting really really soft but the other 2 still have good solid eggs.

    EGG EATING, HELP!!!

    There is about 2” of sand and then bedding in the nest box. They aren’t breaking in impact. I have the Purina oyster strong feed but they do free range 8-10 hours a day so they may not be getting what they need. I will do free choice oyster shell starting today. I do not feed them scratch very...

    EGG EATING, HELP!!!

    Yes because it’s not a pleasing habit when you always find a broken egg. Also heard of poking a hole in both ends of the egg shell and blowing out the yolk and egg white, then filling it with mustard. Supposedly they don’t like mustard and they will stop eating them. I tried this and have only...

    EGG EATING, HELP!!!

    One of my GC hens is eating eggs, 11 in the last 2 weeks. I know for sure which one it is and if it’s more than one idk which other one is doing it. I’ve started to feed meal worms and it worked for 2 days and then bam, 2 more eggs ate. What are some things y’all have done to stop this and also...

    Egg help?!?

    The yolk got ate by one of them! The best thing to do is keep them from eating their own eggs! It will happen every now and then but once one starts doing it consistently, they all will and it’s a hard habit to break! I am that boat right now but I know which one does it. She’s ate 11 eggs in...
