    Eggs on/in eggs?!

    Thanks guys! After you told me the name I could google 'calcium deposits' and get images that accurately match my eggs :-D I am relieved it's not some gross parasite or something!

    Eggs on/in eggs?!

    Hi thank you for your reply. I will search calcium deposist and see if they look the same. This is very clearly smooth looking, individual bits, unlike the rough, powdery look that some eggs get? I hope thats all this is!

    Chickens won't learn how to use feeder

    I purchased one of those metal feeders that open when the chickens stand on the platform and close when they step off about 3-4 weeks ago. I started by putting the food in with the lid held open and then my 5 12 week old chicks figured out how to use it within 48 hours, but the 4 adult hens...
