    Salpingitis / Lash Egg / soft shell egg / no shell egg

    You all are the best and I would really appreciate your input here. I have a 2 year old EE who I believe has salpingitis. The progression of symptoms were a soft shelled egg, then an egg with no shell, then what I believe was a lash egg which was expelled with a lot of fluid. She eats...

    Is it time to integrate the chicks?

    Automatic coop doors: I'd love your input

    I'm having a new coop built for my ladies and was thinking of an automatic door. But, I'm seeing mixed reviews from doors made of plastic, to doors made with metal; doors that close on items they hit, to the point of a review that one decapitated a bird; doors with nice sensitive stops that...

    Loving my chickens

    Hellooooo other chicken lovers! I'm brand new to BYC and to chicken keeping as well. I got my first 3 chicks last Fall and they are now in their Easter Egger, green laying glory. I must admit that I started this for the fresh eggs....little did I know they'd grow to be my pals. I feel...
