    Really wrinkled egg

    It was thick and I got one the next day too, but I haven't had one since.

    Really wrinkled egg

    Thanks! Lots of info. Seems like from the poster, that I might have a chick/chicks with a defective shell gland. Is that okay? There's nothing I can do about that? Now I'm kinda paranoid - Seems like I have eggs with almost half of those symptoms that are pictured in the photos. How can I...

    Really wrinkled egg

    I found this funky looking egg today. She's an RIR and about 3 or 4 years old. I have about 2 dozen chickens, so I'm not exactly sure which hen it came from. I've never seen one like this, although there have been some thin shells. I put oyster shell out for them, but it doesn't seem to...

    2 of the same roosters and one EE rooster

    Thanks for the info. I've decided to get rid of the two 'game roosters' and keep the EE rooster. Can I sell the two game roosters? For how much? Or should I just give them away?

    2 of the same roosters and one EE rooster

    My neighbor gave us two roosters that just started crowing about a month ago. They seem to get along as long as they keep away from each other. I have about a dozen RIR's that they're hanging out with. Can you tell me what kind these roosters are? Also, I ordered about 20 EE's and one came...

    Floppy, light crest? Broody hen with no eggs?

    One of my hens doesn't look to good. Her crest is lighter than the rest and it's just flopping over. I read somewhere that it's not a good sign. She's been a little slow the past few days and will stand there looking all sleepy. I have seen her drink, but when she goes up to her food, she...

    Crooked beak

    So as her beak grows, it'll get worse? Ouch! She's going to have a really bad underbite.

    Crooked beak

    Oh, no! :( She's so sweet. I would need to clean it all the time, correct?

    Crooked beak

    This chick is a little over a month old and it has a crooked beak. She's eating and growing fine, but I'm not sure if she's in pain. Is there anything that can be done about her beak?

    Two different chickens.

    It's a girl! Well, both are lady hens. I can tell from the previous photo I posted that the eggs do look different. I guess I really wasn't thinking the darker one was a hen. Whichever one is laying the lighter egg is pecking at it sometimes. I posted this on another thread but figured...

    How hot is too hot?

    Should I try one out and see what happens? :P I have about half a dozen of them in the fridge.

    How hot is too hot?

    That makes sense. I need to make it a habit to pick them every day after lunch.

    How hot is too hot?

    Thanks. :) I read this somewhere on here; "An eggshell has a protective coating that prevents bacteria from entering the egg. To retain this coating, eggs should not be washed until just before use." I wonder if the heat will still effect that??

    How hot is too hot?

    I live in the desert where it reaches 110 during the day. My new chickens started laying in a spot where the sun hits them in the afternoon and I can't pick the eggs up until after 1:00. Sometimes when I pick them up later, the eggs are pretty hot. Are they safe to eat if they've been sitting...

    Two different chickens.

    I have heard of the sink/float test in water, but I got rid of them because I wasn't sure how long they were sitting there. The outside heat at 110 won't effect them? When I bring them in, they're super warm. I also believe all those eggs are from the lighter chicken. I've only seen her...

    Two different chickens.

    I found those eggs! I'm so excited that at least one of them is a hen. I've found the lighter one in the nest and haven't heard anything from the darker one, as far as crowing is concerned. My question is, how do I know if the eggs are any good? It gets up to 110 during the day and the...

    Two different chickens.

    Yeah, her feathers are growing in. They're both eating and drinking - The lighter one more than the darker one. The darker ones poop is a little different - Smaller and more compact, not as runny as chicken poop. The lighter one is getting to trust us more and is eating out of our hands. She...
