    Hen lays soft egg and eats them

    I have a SLW hen just over a year old. We have witnessed her laying eggs and eating them. The eggs have no shell just the membrane. Sometimes she lays in a box and sometimes just plops it out on the floor. All the hens come running to help eat it. This is the second time I've actually witnessed...

    and 21 days later....more then likely the egg came from a big red hen, possibly a red star or red sex link? And, the only rooster around is a big red one too. What kind of chick do you think it is? Boy or girl (based on color ) Little miss broody aka Jazmine, is very happy with her baby and...

    Just had to share this video of my little broody. She keeps stealing eggs and protecting them like nobody's business. The cat made the mistake of coming into the coop. Poor kitty. I think little CocoaPuff needs some fertile eggs.

    Cuckoo Maran/Barred Rock ?

    Thank you! We have 16 acres. We built them a 12x24 coop last spring and they have a fenced in yard to run in also all to themselves. I let them in the yard when we are home. Their yard is about 150 x 40 ?? Nice and big!

    Cuckoo Maran/Barred Rock ?

    Just wanted to add: the first pics of her earlier in the thread were from summer, she was very young then. The new pics were taken today. She's laying beautiful eggs. They all are. 12 of the 17 hens are from McMurray hatched in May. The rest are from last year.
