    Weird white rubbery thing on Egg?

    My hens just recently started laying eggs again and I noticed this really weird looking egg in the box that had this rubbery white thing attached around it.

    Chicken Hasn't Laid Yet...Dud?

    I had a similar situation as what you are going through. I got a day old Black Australorp last March and she didnt lay her first egg until February of this year so it took her almost an entire year for her to begin laying. I was beginning to think she was a dud but many forum members here...

    Pullets/hen Eating Eggs?

    Thanks for the responses. I'm hoping she will start laying in the nesting box. I was quite surprised she laid it out in the open like that (maybe due to the new home and hasn't gotten used to the new nest box yet?) And right after that I put in a golf ball so hopefully that helps.

    Pullets/hen Eating Eggs?

    I've been raising 3 chicks that are now 3 months old. About a week ago I decided to pick up 1 year old Swedish Flower Hen so that I could start to get fresh eggs now rather than 1-3 months from now. The lady I adopted the hen from said she would take a few days to lay eggs again due to the...
