Hey all, Thanks for the info about the Fowl Pox. I've been freaking out because my girls look terrible! I'll still worry now but at least I know what it is.

Hi SoCalClucker! I had the same thing happen with my broody and her 5 eggs. 2 ended up destroyed..ugh...after all that work! I ended up moving Mama to a Rubbermaid Trunk in the garage for the last 2 weeks. It was dark, quiet, and calm for her. The trunk was large enough for her with her...

Hi GMG, Welcome to the Addiction! I had the same thing happen with my chicks this year. 3 were hatch's and 1 was a moment of weakness from the feed store. They are 1 week apart in age. This might sound horrible to some but it worked. I moved their heat lamp a little too high so they had...

Hi Binkydl! I found a lady in Bonita that has hatching eggs. I got 5 eggs from her a month ago and all were good. Of all places, she's on Craigslist as Permaculture Farm or under a search for Hatching Eggs. Hope this info helps. Good luck! PBBackyard

Thanks! They have about 2 weeks left of the 'new' feed. Tomorrow I'm going to buy the 'old' feed and mix them. Hopefully she'll start laying again soon!

Hi aart. Thanks for the questions. She has been laying for 3 months exactly. Just having problems within the past month or so. The first egg picture is a hard egg shell with a hard calcium like membrane. Her regular eggs have a hefty shell. Her crop feels normal...smaller during the...

Thank you! Much appreciated

Hi all. My 6 month old EE started laying weird eggs recently. Her eggs normally look like 3 Days ago she laid an 1 egg with a shell-less egg. She has done that twice within the last 10 days. Since she laid the egg/shell-less egg 3 days ago, she has not laid another egg. She is not acting...
