I have a 1 year old EE who looks like a shell-less egg busted on the way out. I noticed she didn't get down from the roosting bars this evening when I refilled their feed bucket. Her tail was lowered, so I took a look under it. It looked like some runny poo was on a couple feathers, and...
I've got a hen who should have some eggs hatching later this week (I'm looking for some chicks hatching near their date to add a few more since 6 out of 12 had life but out of those 6, 3 were quitters, but that's besides the point). I have another hen who just went broody yesterday (😩), will the...

I've had these for about 13 wks now. I purchased them all as pullets from tractor supply (I know, I know. ) one of my rhode islands turned out as a little roo & one of my easters is for sure a cockerel too (I was dead set it was a pullet when it was younger & pulled a fast one on me.) My twins...
