    Very strange egg!

    It does. It had three yolks, but today's egg was normal.

    Very strange egg!

    My Barred Rock "Henrietta" laid a strange egg today. She has been laying for about four weeks now and so far all normal hard shell eggs. The egg on the left is hers from yesterday and the one on the right from today. The shell is actually hard, but looks like it hardened up after she laid it.

    My Easter Egger insists on laying her eggs from atop a three foot high perch!

    My Easter Egger "Easter" layed her egg in the nesting box! My three Sex Linked hens all lay in the same box early morning. I left the eggs in the box until after Easter layed her egg, and she did it in the nesting box. Problem solved.

    My Easter Egger insists on laying her eggs from atop a three foot high perch!

    In the past few weeks two of my Easter Egger's eggs have been cracked all over, but her eggs also have a very thick membrane, so they didn't leak out. I suspected that she was laying them from the perch. Today I witnessed her lay an egg from the perch, but there was enough wood shavings to...

    I just joined BYC

    Hi all, I just now joined BYC. Today I ordered 6 chicks to be delivered early May. I ordered 3 Buff Sex Linked, 2 Easter Eggers and 1 Barred Rock, all female. I grew up with chickens, rabbits and horses, but my last pet chicken was about 45 years ago. I discovered BYC through a Google search. I...
