    inside out egg?????

    She's been laying for 6 months or more. I think she's been broody cuz she wants to stay in the nest so much. She's running around fine today but I'm gonna keep an eye on her.. The other OE I have hatched 11 eggs a few weeks ago.

    inside out egg?????

    I gathered the first egg Fri. and the 2nd one today. They both came from the same Olive Egger. The first egg had NO shell at all!! The 2nd egg has a shell but it's inside the "skin". What in the world causes that?? lol

    hen doesn't like remodeling her coop!!

    We decided to remodel our coop and one Deleware hen did not want us to! First thing was taking down the "make do" nest boxes then the few perchs we had up. We basiclly gutted the entire coop.
