    Friend fed 3 month old hens a dozen whole raw eggs

    Overall y'all have put me at ease, I was so worried that they'd start seeking them out before they even started laying. They're my first laying hens in like a decade lol and I feel like I'm extra/too protective/careful

    Friend fed 3 month old hens a dozen whole raw eggs

    Oh wow, well I guess that's good to hear. When I was growing up we had a hen that turned egg eater and she was voracious. Nothing stopped her and the other hens started to join in, we ended up having to *re-home* 3 hens by the end to stop the egg eating

    Friend fed 3 month old hens a dozen whole raw eggs

    That does help actually, I was really hoping one instance may not make them into egg eaters. Gives me a little hope lol And I literally have no idea. As she was explaining how she helped them crack the eggs I nearly had an aneurysm. Suffice it to say, there will be no more solo treat bringing...

    Friend fed 3 month old hens a dozen whole raw eggs

    I'm going to try both and just set them in the coop. I truly have no idea what went through her brain to come up with feeding them raw eggs. She's always checked first before bringing them snacks, and technically did this time as well but only mentioned bringing them a melon rind.

    Friend fed 3 month old hens a dozen whole raw eggs

    Hello, not 100% sure this is the right place to ask this, but a friend of mine came over while I was out and gave my pullets a dozen raw eggs. She had heard me talk about feeding my chicks egg sometimes (scrambled fully cooked) and thought it would be fine. She said she cracked a bunch and...

    I have 3 bearded silkie hens for sale. They are about 2 years old, and as sweet as can be. They lay well but prefer to go broody and two currently are. One is splash, one is gray and the other I believe is silver partridge. Located near Birmingham

    Polkies sound absolutely adorable! I've heard of silkie/cochins a lot but, never really any polish crosses. Sounds like you have a good set up and some really interesting birds. if I come across any bwc I'll definitely let you know - but you sound way more connected than me 😆 If you do locate...

    A very long time ago my sister had a couple, I think they were buff lace or something like that? I used to live on a farm 😄 we had a bit of everything it seemed like. I'm moved out and haven't had chickens in years - finally have a good place now (that allows chickens) and that's what has me...

    Not looking for any roosters yet 😅 but I'll keep you in mind for the future, hope the flock works out - I've seen black/white crested before and they're beautiful birds!

    Looking for polish or bantam Cochin eggs in Alabama!

    Where abouts in Florida?(if you don't mind me asking! We go to Destin a bit, but I'm guessing you're probably further south). If I can't find any local, which isn't seeming super likely, I think I'll be reaching out 😅

    Hello! Was wondering if there were any bantam cochin or polish breeders in Alabama? Wanting to try to find local-ish eggs as I've had abysmal luck with shipped eggs!

    Looking for polish or bantam Cochin eggs in Alabama!

    Hello, I'm looking to find someone local-ish (wouldn't mind a short road trip) who is selling either polish or bantam cochin eggs for pick up. I'm open to pretty much any color, would love to find bearded polish! Just went through my second attempt at eBay eggs and twice in a row they were...
