I think I had better ask whether or not there are any ill effects if the chickens eat the pellitized lime. Can they OD on it? Any additives in the pelletizing process that will affect them? Thanks in advance for the benefit of your wisdom.

I have 14 chickens, of which 2 are currently in Molt. Today I got 13 eggs! (Yesterday was never above freezing, and today it got to 35) Is this possible? 3 days ago I began adding dry cat food (30% protein) to their feed (25/75 mix) for the molting girls. Have I upset their metabolism...

I have been searching for an hour and cannot find anything about Egg Size Records. My GLW (my smallest chicken) has been laying eggs that look like Duck Eggs. Two weeks ago she laid a 105 gram egg, and yesterday she upped the ante -- 111 grams! Where can I find out if she is anywhere near the...

I have a Gold Laced Wyandotte, and while she always lays an Extra Large or Jumbo (she competes with the other hens), today she began competition with Ducks. Today she laid a 105 gram Egg! Her prior record was 90 grams. Is there such a thing as a Triple Yolker? She is my smallest and smartest...

At 11:27:33 My Black sexlink laid her second egg. I did not report the first one as when I finally discovered she had laid one (yesterday) she was eating it! I then had all of these fears about having a chicken where broiling was the only cure. In retrospect, I think she laid a very thin...

Wondering what I have here. Also a SWAG at her age would be appreciated as well.mg] /img] /img]

Good Morning All: I'm new here (with regard to posting), but I have been lurking around in the background for a month or so. I have searched for the answer to my question to no avail (either here or on other chicken sites), so I will ask for your considered opinions. I have 8 pullets (16 - 20...
