Can anyone tell me whats going on with this egg? I just treated my flock two days ago with Wazine for roundworms, and today I got this wacky egg. I've narrowed it down to 3 of the girls, one of which has been really sickly (green diarrhea, not eating much, moving slow, etc). I babied her with...
I'm debating whether to add a new hen to my flock, but I wonder if I can cut down on the quarantine a bit. I added 4 pullets to my existing flock back in August, and this new hen would be from the same breeder/farm. Would that mean that my flock is already exposed to most of the...
