    Sudden death of a few of my girl!

    Thanks for the info! I may have to do that IF another one dies. I do not believe its something in the yard. I have a specific area that they roam free in that I believe to be hazard free...but I could be wrong. I'll double check to make sure. I do wish I could have received more responses

    I can't see through the egg. Does color of the shell matter, because mine are green and very thick shells.

    What is this thats on my egg?

    Quote: I feed the oyster shell in a seperate container and free choice. That way (for the most part) the ones that need it eat it and the ones that don't just ignore it. Great idea. I will start doing that myself.

    What is this thats on my egg?

    Oh one more question for you all. Would anyone happen to know of a great place to purchase egg cartons online for cheap. I sell the majority of my eggs and the place I have been using seems to be a bit pricey.

    What is this thats on my egg?

    Wow! Thank you all for your quick responses. Glad to hear that there isn't anything seriously wrong with my girl. I too include oyster shells in their feed.

    What is this thats on my egg?

    Want to know if anyone can tell me what this is that's on my egg? I'm thinking it's some sort of calcium build up, but really not sure if I'm correct? Should I be concerned about the well being of my EE? Why is this happening and how can I fix this problem? Thanks
