    What's this in the egg?

    Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at your link to the egg making factory. I've only had chicken just over a year so have been reading daily to glean information. There's sooo very much to be learned, but oh so fascinating.

    What's this in the egg?

    I did take it out. It wasn't something I wanted included in my recipe. After getting your question I'm very sorry I wasn't more curious about it. Sorry to say it has gone out with the compost.

    Newby questions

    Thanks for the reply. Inside the coop there's no place for the hens to get away unless they go sit in a nest box. There is an automatic door that lets them out to a good size pen in the morning, but again, no place for protection until I let them out to free range. I think I'll take your...

    Newby questions

    My first time with chickens, bought 10 from a farm store a year ago. Now down to 6 for a variety of reasons - all hens. One hen was broody last fall & after several weeks I bought 6 fertile eggs for her. All hatched 12/24/24 & I'm fairly certain that only two are females. The young ones have...
