    Official BYC Poll: What Is Your Least Favorite Thing About Keeping Chickens?

    I am so sorry, I figured that would do the trick! I have 3 "pre-owned" 18-month old girls that act that way & was hoping any new chicks I introduce to the fam would be different. Have you handled them regularly since hatching?

    Official BYC Poll: What Is Your Least Favorite Thing About Keeping Chickens?

    I only have 3 girls and am working from home so I have ample time *at the moment* to poop scoop (3×/daily), refresh everything & supervise foraging (1-3 hrs/daily), all of which are part of a welcome routine.

    Two weird eggs today

    I just got 2 weird ones today, like the one on the right in your pictures. My girls are over a year old, eat oyster shell & the eggs are strong so I'm curious about this too! We did just have a couple hot then rainy/flooded days this week so I'm thinking stress?
