The eggs under my broody are all covered in sticky gunk and she is missing one egg. I am new to this but I think she ate one and made a mess on the others. Today is day 7. Will the gunk kill the others? Should I wipe them off? Leave them? Give her new eggs instead? Thanks for the help!

Update: She started laying jumbo eggs not long after I posted this!

Can OEG have rose combs? I haven't been able to match her to any of the ones I have found. Thanks! I think she is pretty too. I need a better picture to show her off. Nice little roo! I really enjoy bantams.

I have been puzzle by the breed of my little mystery bantam. I got her from a feed store. She came from Mt. Healthy Hatchery as an assorted bantam. She is mostly black with some gold in the wings. She was solid black as a chick. She has a black rose comb and black legs. She lays a tiny cream...

Hello! My RIR finally started laying! She is laying very large brown eggs! It just took her 35 weeks?!?! Better late than never! I have a question. I have a BCM that just started laying a few weeks ago. All of her eggs have had black speckles in the whites of the egg. From my googling, I believe...

This one. Is it yours, ChicknsRock? http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/Cape_Fear_Feather_Fanciers.html

Hello! Thanks for the dirty egg advice. I was finding a lot of conflicting info on the subject. What time is the poultry show on Saturday?

Hello! This is my dirtiest egg I have ever got. Should I throw it out? Clean it? I appreciate any advice!

My 33 week old hatchery RIR is not laying! I am sure of it. She is the only one I have that lays brown eggs and is old enough to lay and I never have brown eggs! We do let them free range, but we have searched everywhere. Any idea what is up with Rhoda? Should I hold out hope or assume she is a dud?

Hello! Just thought I would check in. Several months ago, I had a dog attack that took out 18 of my 23 pullets. Of the 5 that were left, 4 are laying. But, my 33 week old hatchery RIR is not! I am sure of it. She is the only one left that lays brown eggs. We do let them free range, but we have...

TiaRC--So sorry for your losses. I am glad you have found some alive. I had a major set back a few months ago. It is so hard. Wishing you the best!

I have a bantam pullet that has been panting for the past 2 days. She seems otherwise healthy. It is obviously not too hot. Any ideas?

DST, Pretty birds! I think the ones you are unsure of are Campines.

Thanks for the replies! I think EEer could be it. No way to really know since they are such a mix. She is very tiny. Close to bantam size.

Hello! Any breed guesses on this little guy (or gal)? I got him/her from a flock swap and was told polish. However, he/she does not look polish to me.

So, it is day 3 since my chickens were attacked. The final 3 missing have never returned or been found. I have lost 18 of 23. Anyone looking for feathers could have their pick of just abut any color yesterday before we cleaned up. :(

Thank you so much for the kind messages and letting me share my heartbreak with people who understand. Of my 23 girls, I have 5 living (two of which are sebrights so they do not really count as full chickens), 15 dead bodies, and 3 missing. It has been over 24 hours. How long should I keep hope...

I am so, so heartbroken. A stray or neighbors dog (not sure since we did not get a close view of it) killed the overwhelming majority of my flock today. At first we could not find any then found 3 alive in the woods. I did have 23. :( My silkie and my favorite are gone. I cannot find any signs...

Thanks for letting me know. I really want a white leghorn though. I know I can't truly replace the one I lost but... I so hope the isbars are 3 girls!!!

Just looking to replace a few birds to my mixed flock that I have lost to predators :( I especially miss my white leghorn and speckled sussex. I was also going to pick up a couple new breeds to add. I don't need 15 though!
