    Food Scraps?

    I've been told not to give eggs or shells to my girls because if they get a taste for it they will start eating their own eggs as soon as they are laid. I'm currently crushing shells and putting that out for them

    soft shell eggs

    I let my girls out of the roost into the coop where there's only layer pellets available for an hour before I let the free range in the yard. Just had eggs for breakfast and had my first 2 double yolkers

    soft shell eggs

    soft shell eggs

    I have fake rubber eggs in the nesting box. Blue, the poor girl who is laying soft shelled eggs is having a hard time of it. She is trying to stay away from the others and as soon as she lays her soft egg the other three go for it. She is very lethargic as well

    soft shell eggs

    Got my first 2 eggs today, ones a normal egg laid in the coop the other is a soft shell laid in the yard. There's a load of yolk on the dirt where it was but when I've opened it up the yolk is intact....... Does this mean there was a third egg they've eaten it (no sign of a shell) Edited...

    Hi from England

    I don't work with them, they are my sons. Joe is high functioning autistic and epileptic and Fred my youngest is severely autistic. They don't have a bad bone in their bodies so no worries there.

    Hi from England

    Thank you for the warm welcome, Joe my oldest was most indignant by the rude chicken that pecked his finger today until I explained they don't have very good aim haha. He is now going to teach them how to target their pecks better. The ladies will be 12 weeks old this week, how long should I...
