    2 "Ouch" eggs and a "whoopsie"

    My hens occasionally lay an odd egg, and I thought I'd share these recent ones with you all. I don't know what to call this one, but maybe it's a Siamese Double Conjoined Twins Fart Egg ?... ...(or did my chicken just swallow a whole peanut and wrap a shell around it ?) lol ! then...

    Is she sick ?

    My daughter was cleaning the coop and came in to tell me our 3yo RR (Ruby) seemed to have lost some weight. she also told me that last week she saw Ruby throwing up / spitting up some water. I picked the bird up, and yes she does seem to be a little lighter than normal, but to be honest...

    OK,... Now what do I do ????

    I was sitting in my backyard today.... And a young (4-5-month old ?) relatively healthy looking Ringneck comes walking by. Ok,... so I know many here will say "Yeah,.. so whats the big deal about that?", Well, the reason it's a big deal is because I live in the city. I'm 15 minutes from...

    Apparently "Lady Gaga" is no Lady,...

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've been around, but I have always found great information here from knowledgeable members. I have a question about Re-homing our "Lady Gaga", who apparently should have been named "Mr. Gaga". He?/She?, is approx. 3 months old, and is showing signs of being a...

    We got some Dr. Seuss "Sneetch's"

    I went up to the feed store yesterday to pick up some supplies, and the store owner (who knows I have a fairly large coop), told me she had some "homeless chicks", that needed some love. she said they were free to a good home, and had just come to her within the last hour or so. I took a look...

    egg,.... inside an Egg,............... inside ANOTHER EGG !!! ???,...

    Ok all, This is kind of freaky, and also may shed some light on my EE's Very Sporatic egg production lately. As some of you had read in my last thread, https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=542570 , My EE's have not been regular in their egg production. Then I had posted...

    Should I be concerned ???

    Hi Everyone, Lately my egg production has drastically dropped, and I'm wondering if there is reason for concern. We have 8 hens total, 1- BO, 1- RIR, 2- PBR, 1- AUS, 1- Partridge BR, and 2- EE's. The Partridge, and 1 PBR are both 9 months old, the rest of them are 17 months old. Prior to the...

    Do you think I'll be successful ???

    The "poop picking poll" caused me to think about this, and just wanted to get your opinions..... I'm currently in the process of trying to teach my chickens to stop pooping all together. I've discussed this with them and I think I may be starting to get through to them. We usaully have these...

    My darned Buff Orp is broody AGAIN !

    She had stayed Broody for almost 3 months!, and finally decided to give it up right around Christmas. Then she rejoined the flock, was back to laying eggs almost daily, and all was well. She continued laying eggs, thru the first week of March , and has now been Broody again for 2 weeks. Talk...

    DE - how much do you use ?

    I have been trying to read up on the use of DE. I have seen both sides of the debates, as to whether it is safe to use around Chickens, Dogs, Cats, Asthmatic Children, etc. I have decided to try using it in my Coop, Nesting boxes and in the Feed, mainly for controlling flies, but any other...

    Apparently it didn't work, Now I've got a problem...

    Ok, I was hoping to get a responce on my other thread reguarding my broody BO, but it didn't happen. So, I figured I'd just go with the advise/suggestions that seemed to be the more popular option amoungst the members here. I had removed all the eggs, and Faux wooden eggs, from under the broody...

    Broody Orpington and,.. (now changed to flock integration)...

    hi all, It's been a little while since I've been on here. I guess that says that all has been going well, and the flock has been healthy and happy. As you may remember, I'm new to chickens, and this is our first small flock of 6 hens. No roosters. All the birds are standard hatchery birds that...

    Did she lay two halves of an egg?

    Ok, I've never seen this posted or mentioned before. (Maybe it has been and I just missed it) but it seems that my PBR has just laid two halves of an egg,... Or possibly two seperate eggs, with only half a shell on each egg ?!?!?! My daughter went out to collect the days eggs. She came running...

    Basic Egg Facts

    I found this to be interesting, informative, and thought some other newbies like myself, might also find it interesting. It is a cut/paste from a website I found while surfing around the web. I do not take any credit for it, nor do I know the accuracy of the information provided, although it...

    Woo-Hoo,.... Today we got two!!!

    Looks like Helga is getting a little competition now. We got two eggs today. I'm not sure who the second one came from, but the RIR, and BPR are the top contenders. The second egg is the same size and color as all of Helgas eggs this past week, and Helgas egg for today is slightly darker than...

    since I have to wait for their eggs,.. I'm gonna mess with their heads

    OK, this waiting for them to lay is getting old quick. I think we need to up the ante, and have some entertainment while we're at it. I've read about putting wooden eggs or golf balls in the nesting boxes to help stimulate them. Fine, I can do that,.... but I'm gonna mess with their little...
