Thank you so much! We are keeping our fingers crossed!:)

A close friend had to give away his hens due to a local zoning issue. Please join me in helping him to get his hens back. The fee for a variance is a lot of $$. His hens were is ESA's. Thank you! www.gofundme.com :frow

I just went through this same thing myself, don't know if it was just 1 in my flock or all 9. They are on an all flock feed, oyster shell free-choice, mealworms for treats, so strong eggs. But over the winter, the egg eating started. I tried fake eggs, and I even tried the mustard filled egg...

My chicks are 3 weeks old. At a week old, they started to get pasty butt. After a good cleanup, I started putting AVC with the mother in their water, and they haven't had it since. I also moved up my heat lamp as I read over heating can cause pasty butt. I also use medicated chick starter feed.

Final update on me as well. It's been a while since I posted. My EE finally laid her first egg yesterday, a pretty mint green, and it was perfect! She just turned 9 months old on Wednesday!

I am new to raising chickens myself, and I had a terrible time peeling eggs too. I tried everything under the sun, until a co-worker, who also has chickens, said he never has a problem peeling eggs, he steams his. So i tried steaming them in a veggie steamer, and they peel perfectly, even fresh...

I think we are all either winners or losers! My EE still hasn't laid an egg, she's almost 8 months old:mad:

Mine is supposed to lay blue eggs too. Her hatch mate, who is with a co- worker, is laying and she lays blue eggs.
