    Odd behavior at night and soft shell eggs?

    She is probably in pain because it is difficult to pass a soft shelled egg. Being a newly laying pullet, I would supplement her by giving her 630 mg daily of calcium citrate with vitamin D. That typically equates to two tablets per day. I like to give one in the morning and one in the evening...

    I saw a lady selling puny cuttings at the last one for $3. I'm selling bouquets with a larger variety and twice the size so I thought $3 would be good. Maybe four$4 for the even larger ones. I was thinking that very thing about giving a free rooster to anybody that bought a bouquet or the other...

    I made a few floral arrangements to bring to the swap tomorrow. Mostly to draw attention to my boys but secondarily, why not!? I'm not selling the mason jars with them. How much do you think I should ask per bouquet?

    Can Chickens Eat Too Fast and Choke, Have Food Go Down Wind Pipe?

    Yes. It can also happen if they get startled while swallowing small pieces of food. My rooster almost choked one year when he got startled at the breakfast trough. But he did manage to cough it up.

    The object of my affection. These pictures just don't do him justice. He has the most amazing emerald sheen on his black feathers when he's in the sunlight.

    I might. I'll have to see how Astrid's boys grow up. As a whole, her brood is far more interactive with me because she and I have a long history together so she's always allowed them to take food from me, be near me, etc. Her hatch daughter, Savannah, hatched out the older batch from which...

    I can't! I just can't. I'll wait until spring. He is just too good! He is also running off the rapists. I need him to keep the horny toads in line. And did I mention his crow!? What a fantastic crow!... (I think I'm in love)

    Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready. I am much more confident that I have 3 boys and 3 girls in Astrid's batch. But one of those girls is a dom white so I will sell her next spring with a black cockerel I will keep through the winter. He will also be used to stand over my 3 black pullets...

    Soft shelled eggs. 🥚🪺🐔

    Give her two tablets of calcium citrate with vitamin D everyday for a week. Can you post a picture of the tag of your layer feed? Do you have a container of oyster shell on the side for free choice feeding? How old is she?

    Blood stained egg

    It's not exactly normal but it's also not horribly uncommon. She burst a blood vessel when she was straining to lay the egg. As she gets older and grows a bit larger and her reproductive system continue to mature the incidences of this should decrease.
