    Shrapnel inside eggs?

    I read that article, thanks that answered my post! I will go out on a limb and say that those spots are not related to feed issues as I have been using the same brand for 4 years and this just started doing this. My flock has 17 month Olds and 1 two year old and 4 three year old and 1 four year...

    Shrapnel inside eggs?

    That's what I consider blood spots, normal?!! But in the whites of the eggs? I forgot about meat spots, so I guess I will look those up again!

    Is this safe to eat?

    That is what I consider blood spots. I posted this question today. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/shrapnel-inside-eggs.1257136/

    Shrapnel inside eggs?

    Interesting, I recall something about "meat spots". Will have to reread that subject. Some of those could be from my 3 year olds. The majority of the flock is now turning 17 months.

    Shrapnel inside eggs?

    Hottest would be 80 degrees Fahrenheit, no direct sunlight.

    Shrapnel inside eggs?

    Wife just hard boiled some eggs maybe at most 3 weeks old, we've done older, and a majority of the eggs have these spots in the whites. I've seen blood spots in yolks before not a biggy, but this isn't like that. It's hard like a pepper corn but flat. Might be blood but in 4 years have never...

    Husky Reds

    Has anyone ordered any Husky Reds from Hoovers Hatchery? First order 100% death rate. Second order 50% death rate. I'm not speaking badly about the hatchery, they have always delivered successfully before. The post office screwed up the delivery on the first batch and they were barely moving...

    Rigor lasting days & days...

    My house was above 65°F, doors and windows opened and my wife who is lays cold wasn't cold. I would think that a comfortable temp for "normal" people during the 4 to 6 hours would work. I say normal because I wear t shirts when it' in the mid 40s!

    Rigor lasting days & days...

    I hAve a book called "Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausage " it talks about rigor in animals. One thing it said was f cooling a carcass too rapidly, below 50°F before onset of rigor that the meat/muscles may contract which will cause the meat to be tough when cooked. It also recommends...

    Poll: How long did it take your moved hen to resume laying?

    Took 6 weeks when I moved mine from around the human house to their new mansion coop. But had some that started laying the day after spending a day in a cage in the back of my truck from a move. Think it depends on the perceived stress level by the chicken.
