    Countdown To Eggs! For June hatches 😊

    We have a new egg layer! Eight weeks after the first started. It's either my Golden Laced Wyandotte or the Lavender Orpington. A light pinkish brown. Ahh! So excited!

    I have 1 out of 5 laying. Same birth week. The Blue Copper has been laying since 19 weeks! I'm thankful for her.

    Countdown To Eggs! For June hatches 😊

    I have five pullets born on June 13th. My Blue Copper Marans started laying five weeks ago. The other four are still holding out. I noticed today that their combs are getting almost as red as the BCM. I hope someone else starts soon!

    New layer and weird deflated egg

    Three more eggs that were normal. One yesterday, and then overnight a rubber egg with a double yolk. Question: is this just a hiccup of a new layer? Just curious if she will outgrow it or if it's something that she will always be dealing with? Should I do another calcium pill?

    New layer and weird deflated egg

    Second normal egg in a row. No rubber/weird eggs in between. Her bottom is much cleaner too. I wonder if she was feeling ill in addition to needing the calcium boost. Thanks for all of the help!

    I was using the Scratch and Peck Grower feed. I bought it from Azure Standard.

    Egg update:. She laid a nice sized egg today! Hopefully the couple of days of calcium did the trick!

    They get pellets. However, when they were on grower feed it was cracked grains and I did notice they all were picky and they would leave the fines behind. Maybe they have a standing deficiency?

    They get free access during the day to their layer feed (scratch and peck) and oyster shell. I give treats sparingly. Sometimes the treat is pumpkin, sunflower seeds, greens, grubs, etc. It rotates.

    New layer and weird deflated egg

    Her appetite and behavior is normal. I noticed her poop is a little looser than normal but not diarrhea. Her comb is nice and red too. The rubber eggs have been interspersed with regular eggs. But it has been several days since the last regular egg which is unusual in her (very new) egg...

    New layer and weird deflated egg

    Hey there chicken peeps- I have a new layer of 3 weeks a Blue Copper Marans, who is a 22 weeks old. Every few eggs she has laid a "rubber egg." There have been two or three in total. When she lays a rubber egg it's at night and I find it on the poop tray in the morning. This morning I found...

    Using Hemp; well do declare; who knew??

    I'm thinking of getting some of the Carolina coop stuff to top it off so that they don't have crud stuck to their feet. I don't like the fibers. Maybe I will also reach out to Rent a Coop. Previous batches had some fiber but not these giant balls of it.
