I have a chicken that is laying eggs with spots. They almost look like paint splatters. She lays a brown egg and the spots are a slightly lighter shade of brown. She just started doing this. She started laying about 8 -12 weeks ago and is a barred rock.
I just finished treating my flock yesturday with Sulmet for having runny bloody poo ......and now I noticed that at least one of the chickens still has traces of blood in its stool. What should I do?
Has anyone found that the egg color of a hen changes with what they are eating? .....Or does the egg color just change all the time anyway. I'm not talking brown to blue, just that some days the eggs are a darker or lighter shade than the day before. I'm wondering why this happens?
I am a first time hatcher, setting eggs tomorrow for the first time. The humidity everywhere in my house is high. I can't get the incubator below 60% Humidity (with no water). Should I buy a dehumidifier for the room with the incubator?
This is my first time hatching eggs.
Turning eggs -Should I keep it consistent everyday or turn more often if I can?
I don't have an automatic egg turner obviously.
Hi, I am looking for Blue Copper Maran chicks (or eggs). I live in Massachusetts. Does anyone have any ready to ship or soon ready to ship if they are started?
