    Eating Egg Storage

    I hope this is the right place to put this, I couldn’t find anywhere that it really fitted. How on earth do people store and keep track of the eggs? It’s the very beginning (barely) of the laying season in the UK and not all of them are laying yet but that is still 5-6 eggs per day. The eggs...

    Jelly egg and tiny lash egg?

    Hi, I have been finding a lot of broken eggs in my chicken house recently. As well as getting some eggs with thin, papery or jelly shells. There are some older (3-4 year old) warren (uk term for hybrid intensive layer breed) hens in the group. Tonight I found an unbroken jelly egg with what...

    When to stop turning?

    Hi, I had a hen on eggs who got mites and I decided it was in her best interest to take the eggs away and stop her (or try to) being broody so that she could recover from the mites and the chicks would not be infected. The eggs were put in the incubator three and a bit days ago, four out of...

She is now somewhere around day 14 (possibly further). I am concerned that when the chicks...

    Feeding Eggs

    Hi. I have a large number of eggs that are too old to eat but could be well cooked for animals. I am wondering if it would work to hard boil some eggs and then mash them with the shells (or put them through a food processor lightly) so that the chickens get some calcium as well as protein? Would...

    Chicken squirting liquid

    Hi, can I have some advice please. One of my chickens (a 1 year old hybrid/warren chicken the kind found in egg barns) is ill. When called for food she came over slowly then went and lay down next to the water drinker. She has liquid all over her chest and under her beak, she is holding her...
