    Eggs on/in eggs?!

    Thanks guys! After you told me the name I could google 'calcium deposits' and get images that accurately match my eggs :-D I am relieved it's not some gross parasite or something!

    Eggs on/in eggs?!

    Hi thank you for your reply. I will search calcium deposist and see if they look the same. This is very clearly smooth looking, individual bits, unlike the rough, powdery look that some eggs get? I hope thats all this is!

    New Araucana Chicks, thoughts?

    Yes Taco is beautiful, I think the purple colour is amazing I never seen a purple chicken before so I am amazed. The 3Rd chick looks like a girl too only has a very small amount of green sheen and white specks on her head, I'm quite confident that I somehow only ended up with 1 boy out of 5, my...

    Chickens won't learn how to use feeder

    I did google how to teach them how to use it etc it seemed quite straight forward but yeah.. This one isn't the best design it's a cheapy from eBay, I figured if it worked out I could upgrade later, but I never even considered the side part being an issue having never used one before, I usually...

    Chickens won't learn how to use feeder

    I purchased one of those metal feeders that open when the chickens stand on the platform and close when they step off about 3-4 weeks ago. I started by putting the food in with the lid held open and then my 5 12 week old chicks figured out how to use it within 48 hours, but the 4 adult hens...

    Confused about worming

    Hi so I need to buy new wormer for my chickens and I'm confused as to which to buy, I found Avitrol Plus Wormer Tablets which on some threads say it's great, but on the poultry supply website I found them on in the description of the wormer it says 'not to be used on food producing birds' ah...

    New Araucana Chicks, thoughts?

    We named this one Delta so she needs to be a she? I'm pretty sure that her mother was grey/blue with black specks like this all over too. Dendenne is a pain to get pics, this one is flighty and doesn't like being touched, it pecks at people all the others are snuggle boks.. Black...
