    Weird seam showing up on one of my Delaware's eggs all of a sudden

    Hello, For the last month, one of my Delawares always lays eggs with a cross-shaped seam on the pointy end. She is a year old and never did it before this. Any ideas? Is it an early indication of infection? She seems perfectly healthy. Thank you for the help.

    One week old chicks prefer cool temp?

    I have my red heat lamp set up to one side of my brooder but even though the temp only reads 85 under the lamp, the chicks still crowd over to the opposite end of the brooder, as far from the lamp as they can get. It is significantly cooler than 85 where they sleep. I thought they were...
