    Strange egg

    Thank you for your honesty and insight. I still don’t know which hen this came from as all of them are seemingly healthy. I don’t believe in watching them suffer either and will not let that happen.

    Strange egg

    This is a picture of the lash egg cut open. It’s the strangest thing I have ever seen. All my hens seem to be acting normally and none have ever had a respiratory illness to my knowledge.

    Strange egg

    Ugg. That looks horrible. My poor chicken. I’m not sure which one it was. They are all between 2 and 6 years old. Thank you so much for the article. Do you know if this is contagious?

    Strange egg

    Has anyone seen this before? When I checked for eggs yesterday I found this along with the eggs. Feels like egg shell material but has a little chalkiness to it. I have not cut it open. It feels more solid than an egg you would crack.

    How often to hold chicks

    Once they start laying they calm down a lot. My mature girls love dried meal worms as a special treat. Of course they get lots of yummy snacks but I use the meal worms when I need to get them to go back to their run after free ranging.

    Hi everyone, Being from RI my husband does a bit of fishing. When he filets the fish I always want to cook up the carcass and give it to the girls. Great protein!! But we are concerned about the bones. Have any of you ever tried this? Thanks for your input.
