    Ridges and grooves on egg?!?

    What can cause this? I have 2 chickens that lay. Since I added 2 new girls to the flock they went from consistently laying to I'm lucky if I get 1. Nothing has changed other than adding the 2 new girls which isn't anything new to my flock. The 2 new ones are only 10 weeks old so I know they...

    Do all Black Australorp have a green sheen to their feathers?

    I have what I was told was a black australorp but from everything I've read so far the main description for them was black feathers with a green sheen to them. She is solid black with no green sheen to her at all. I have another black chicken that's a black sex link that has a green sheen so I...

    Pale, dry comb. ..What causes that?

    My Brown leghorns comb is always pale and really dry. She's still upbeat, happy and eating well. Other than the comb she is fine. I'm just wondering what causes this...She just started laying 2 weeks ago. She has only taken 3 days off total. Could that be why? It's been in the 60's here too so...

    Black Star? Have you ever seen this coloring?

    I just got these gorgeous ladies today. The place i went to ordered a bunch of black sex links and hatched them on site. I saw one girl there that was redder than all of them. He said she was a black sex link and that there is a 5% chance of the coloring coming out this way. Is that true? Have...

    Easter Egger...no comb?

    I have two easter eggers that are 23 weeks old that have no comb. It's as flat as the top of its beak. Flat, smooth, and no raised parts. They are both sisters so their combs are exactly the same but I have a 3rd easter egger with a decent sized pea comb. She looks nothing like the other two in...

    Full of crap?!?! My nesting boxes are!

    How do you prevent them from pooping in the nesting boxes. I have 9 pullets and 1 hen. Their roosts are above their nesting boxes. It's not terribly bad in the boxes but enough to ask for help! I know they aren't sleeping in them. I always see them sleeping on the roosts. I noticed more pullets...

    Are these eggs from the same chicken?

    My leghorn laid a white egg the day before yesterday and today I got a second egg that looks very light pink. Could her second egg be slightly tinted or do I have a second chicken laying? I have 3 EES that should be laying any day now.

    I just got my first egg yesterday from the lovely Amelia my Brown Leghorn. How long did it take until you got your second egg? All it took was 1 egg to get me addicted!!! Now I'm waiting crazier than I did before I got my first egg. I don't even want to eat the first egg until I see another one!!

    Calling all brown leghorn lovers :) Are Brown Leghorns good egg layers?

    Mine turned 29w today and laid her first egg yesterday. I can't seem to find much info or any at all on her breed so I'm not sure what to expect from her. Just curious how often other brown leghorns lay? :)
