    Soft eggshells (calcium deficiency?)

    I had to do this too and it was stressful! I recently started giving my girls Dumor max layer something or other pellets and mixed in a medium sized bag of purina game bird 30% protein crumbles. I feed them a mash with it everyday with two cups feed 3/4 c water and let it soak up into a oatmeal...

    Is this egg fertilized?

    I only have hens and I’ve had an egg like that. I just think chickens are mysterious critters and lay weird eggs sometimes ha!

    Soft eggshells (calcium deficiency?)

    I don’t think I feed them kale enough to create such a problem and I do keep oyster shell available all the time. I’ve had two funky eggs in the last year and it was blazing hot at the time. Chickens are mysterious creatures sometimes 😄

    Soft eggshells (calcium deficiency?)

    Whenever I feed my girls kale they get thick shells. In fact I don’t feed them kale for long because I have a few who will get little clumps of calcium on their shells. Kale apparently has more calcium per serving that cows milk. It may be worth a try?

    6 Hens 3 Bullies

    Wow thank you all so much for your generous responses. It's spitting down freezing rain and snow at the moment. I'll get back with pictures of everything. I got them some 30% turkey feed to bump up the protein. I bought them all at the same time from Tractor Supply. Loretta has always been a...

    6 Hens 3 Bullies

    My flock is all jacked up. I have 6 hens; a barred rock, RIR, Issa brown, EE, americauna, and a lacy Wyandot. The crappy behavior started with Loretta the Issa brown. She started picking feathers and chasing my americauna Fluff. It was stressful and I should've isolated Loretta. I'm certain that...

    Pinless peepers

    I just started using them a day ago on two bully pullets. I had no choice because one of them had picked the fluffy butts of all five other hens! The other one started pecking and I figured I’d nip it in the bud. So far they’re a little freaked out but are getting used to them. Fingers crossed...

    Letting Chicken out of Jail

    Hi, what did you end up doing? I have an Issa Brown who is doing the same thing. I have six chickens and all of them but one have missing feathers and one is the worst. I searched chicken jail ha to see what came up. I hope you’ve got good news :(

    Need help identifying skin condition!

    Ok so I think I figured it out and it is one of them picking feathers. Loretta my Issa brown is a brat! I’d never seen her do it until early this morning. I watch these chickens all day, except in the early morning. I do all my chickens chores and go back in. Today I stayed out until they...
