Thank you for the info! I hope people didn't misinterpret my post I dont hate her eggs I'm just new to having chickens and wanted to make sure I wasnt ignoring a possible life threatening problem she may have. I want them all to be happy and healthy and I just wasnt sure if it was normal since...
I didn't want to scrub it off per'say I just one day got them in the rain and when I wiped it it came off a bit. And I wouldnt call it speckling it covers the whole egg 90% of the time.
I have 6 chickens and 2 are midnight majesty maran girls and one lays big beautiful medium brown eggs...the other lays eggs that are covered in red....at first I thought she had blood in her bloom (this red comes off with some hard scrubbing) but I see some pics on copper marans eggs and they...
They are in a coop that was converted from an old milkhouse...they have a run that is 8 foot by 16 foot they had been in there for quite sometime before this happened and It started when the laying started. It's kind of harmless now but I dont want it to come to injury. I have to boost her...

They do this now in the brooder I shake a bag of meal worms and they come running! Lol but when I take them out in a nice day for some outside time they arent interested in the mealworms they want to roam! Lol
I hope it is just a phase....I would like to let them free range when I'm out gardening but I can't do that if i cant get them back in their coop before they wanna go
Hello everyone! I'm a newbie at chickens....I have 6 babies I got on mothers day...no sure how old they were (apparently I had to ask that day...oops) but i wanted them to be friendly so took the suggestion of giving them meal worms...they LOVE them! Almost take my finger off lol but they were...
