    We've got an egg-eater on our hands...😤

    My chickens ate an eggs once. I started giving them raw hamburger and I put powdered calcium on it. I haven't had a problem since and my eggs can be dropped and all they do is dent a little 🙃 your chickens may be missing something in their diet and that's why they are eating eggs

    First egg!! But all the wrong places!

    When my young chickens first started laying eggs I had the same problem. I put fake eggs in the nesting boxes and the problem went away.

    Review by 'Dragonlady1956' in article 'How to treat sour crop and impacted crop and how to know which one you're dealing with'

    I wish I would have read this article before I lost my last chicken. I didn't realize that an impacted crop was probably the problem. Still a newbie at raising chickens, have so much to learn! Is there a good book on these issues I can get to keep on hand? Thanks

    Comment by 'Dragonlady1956' in article 'Important High-Protein Foods for Chickens During Molting'

    I usually grow whatever I get free. my sister has a dwarf moringa tree but it doesn't have as many leaves on it as my tree. I cut them back to 6 ft in the fall so they never get too tall and I can still reach the leaves.

    What are the white things on the feathers?

    Found these feathers on the coop floor this morning. What are the white things on the feathers? Seems to be only on a couple of feathers and not on the rest. I dusted them with DE 3 weeks ago and I have 4 chickens.

    Hard molt or something else?

    Video on YouTube about giving chickens an Epsom salt bath. One of my chickens was acting funky too. Gave her a bath an it was like she was revived! It helps with being egg bound too and other things. My problem is, how often can or should they have one?
