    I think my chicken is saved because I made him shoes to protect his feet

    Love these! I may need a pair too! :) But how do they stay on and not just slide off as they walk around?

    Is this mold on these stored eggs?

    Ah got it. Is it ok if I still dry, bake and feed these shells back to my chickens for calcium you think?

    Is this mold on these stored eggs?

    I keep my eggs in these plastic containers in the refrigerator. Unwashed. The container is pretty much air tight when I latch each side. I've been noticing that some of the eggs have grown greenish and brownish spots on them. (They are very clean at time of storage, no blemish, spots...

    What is my Zombie cross?

    Oh I didn't know WHITE Orpingtons existed! I don't really understand genetics. So maybe Ayam Cemani X White Orpington would create a Zombie? I wish the hatchery would just tell us!

    What is my Zombie cross?

    Yeah I don't really understand genetics. So maybe Ayam Cemani X Delaware would create a Zombie? I wish the hatchery would just tell us!

    What is my Zombie cross?

    I got a Zombie chick in Mar. She's a Pearl Onyx from Hoover's: https://hoovershatchery.com/pearl-onyx She just turned 21 weeks and laid her 1st egg last week! Its a beautiful darker brown egg. I had assumed she was an Ayam Cemani X White Leghorn since that seems to be the most common cross...

    Whose egg? Marans?

    'OT'...I like that never heard of it that way! As for the curtains my original girls didn't have them on the boxes initially. But no one was ever alarmed by them. Initially (and I still do this for the new babies), I keep the curtains parted so they can see the fake egg and an open nest box...

    Whose egg? Marans?

    Just caught her in the act...my Zombie is laying the medium brown egg! (She is LOUD and proud!) That one in the 1st post. I'm so surprised its so dark. It's really very beautiful. Now I'm super curious her mix because she's certainly not ACxWL since I've read as well those would lay white.

    Whose egg? Marans?

    You are right I assumed my Zombie from Hoover's is AC x WL. But they don't disclose the mix so really have no idea! I've actually "blown out" the 1st eggs of all my girls and will do the same for these! Never have weighed eggs before. Would need a special scale haha

    Whose egg? Marans?

    Ok got my 2nd new egg today! THIS one is definitely my Marans! It's darker than yesterday's egg. Left egg - today Right egg - yesterday Do you think these 2 are from the same chicken? Didn't expect such different colored eggs from 1 girl.

    Whose egg? Marans?

    You've been very helpful! You confirmed what I was thinking too. I think if my Zombie lays a brown egg it would be very light. Will be fun to see.

    Whose egg? Marans?

    I was thinking Marans too! But my Zombie is from Hoover's (they call them Pearl Onyx) and description says they lay brown eggs. Do their eggs color vary? https://hoovershatchery.com/pearl-onyx

    Whose egg? Marans?

    I have four 20-week old and got my 1st egg today! (My 3rd flock but still eggciting!) It's this cute darkish brown egg. It's either my Black Copper Marans or my Zombie (Ayam Camani x White Leghorn). They both just started squatting this week and both have been hopping in and out of the nest...

    White spot at corner of eye

    The vet did an eye stain and said she has a scratch going strait across her eye! So they gave us Terramycin ointment to use for 10 days (good call on your part you suggested the same thing!), and 2 days of Meloxicam to help with discomfort. They say the white thing seems to a part of her eye...
