    Egg Bound or What ?? (pics)

    One of my chicken passed this mass and my husband discovered on the floor of the coop with several of the hens trying to eat it. He said all the chickens were there and seemed fine but of course he never examined them or wouldn't even know what to look for. I have several pictures of it and was...

    Egg whites??

    We have had a problem with the white of our eggs. For a few weeks now they have been too thin and runny the larger the egg the thinner the white. They spread out in the skillet like a really old store egg. Shoot! these are fresh and gathered twice a day at least. They are fed 16% laying...

    Extra protein?

    My original hens 16mos are going through a molt now. They are looking kind of tacky with no real bald spots. Some days all will lay an egg and other days just about half of them are laying. I have been giving them raw fish scrapes about 2x a week but have been wondering if they could benefit...

    This is crazy

    Why would just one hen out of 11 be laying a very soft shell egg? They all have acsess to crushed egg shells free choice. That is all I have ever used for over a year and have had no problems at all. I have noticed for a while egg yolk on some of the eggs. More than once I have had to change out...

    Chicks made the move out to the coop

    I have 6 EEs that are 5wks old. We moved them out to the coop today. DH and DS worked and sectioned of a space for the new chickes in the coop. It is a 3x8ft space seperated by chicken wire. The chicks and the hens can see each other but not get to each other. We think this may help get them...

    Fart egg

    I never had one of these before. One of my 1 yr olds laid this I havent cracked it yet to see if it has a yolk or not. I wonder if it means one of my ladies is getting ready to stop laying for a while. They have been laying pretty heavy so maybe they are tired.

    Feeding and watering outside?

    I have noticed that many of you do not have feed and water in the coop. Why is this? I got my chicks in March and have always had feed and water in the coop. When they are outside they always come in to eat and drink.

I decided to try going to the coop this morning and discovered a hidden nest with 17 frozen eggs in it some were even cracked open. I wondered why the egg count has been down some lately. I...
