    Soft-shell/rubber eggs

    Hello fellow chicken tenders! I’m at a bit of a loss and hoping to gain new information after researching online and reading similar posts here, but still unsure.

    Hello!

    Hi everyone! My name is Nicole (Nikki) and I’ve been researching getting backyard chickens for over a year and I somehow feel less prepared than before! So I’m here to learn and learn and learn! Thank you all in advance :) (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I’ve had...
