No I mean the yolks are breaking when the eggs are cracked open as soon as you try to open the egg they break.No matter how gentle you are.

My eggs yokes are breaking very easely and I don't know why.I give shell but I don't know what to give for weak yokes are the birds sick or something?

Thanks a lot y'all.

Hi,I went to clean the coop today with my g-friends son and when we opend it up ther was some mold growing on the underside of the roof.I recently added a air vent to the box this winter but I guess not soon anough though so what do I do scrub with bleach and paint with some mold resistant paint...

There is quite a bit of airflow around the roof being it is only attached at the back with a couple of hinges and I just let it ride on top of the structure like that.The box is tight but the roof is not and the wooden door is very vented it is just cut out and if the water is to close to it it...

Well Itook him out today the rooster(an allen setter) did not give me any trouble but the five hens all jumped on the poor guy.I'm thinking maybe I will have to take him out there and stand with him a little while each day and maybe they will get used to each other.I'm starting to worry the duck...

Well thanks for all the helpful tips I'm sure to use them again however the chick did not make it.It was from some kind of fair and I suspect he got what ever it was from there.I think like you said he must have gotten cold I don't think the people who bought himdid not know how to care for them...
