    excess calcium on shells (**pics**)

    I'm sure the chicken did not enjoy laying that egg! It's just some calcium deposits, known as egg pimples. Do you give your chickens a break during the winter from laying? It could just be a bit of buildup from not laying. You can check out the post on my blog that explains it a bit-...

    I think this will be easy - Lght Brown Breed?

    I feel that I should know what kind of chicken this is! She's almost 5 months old. Light brown color. Very social and vocal! She runs squawking to me every time I walk outside. Hopefully you guys can help me out. I've figured out what the other chickens I got from one of Mcmurray's...

    What kind of dog do you have?

    This is Gypsy, my 2 yr old Australian Shepherd Mix. Her coat gets trimmed during the summer or else she'd have hair everywhere. This was for my Christmas card two holidays ago, when she was still a puppy. Just got my chicks so I'm slowly introducing them to her. Every time they start...

    McMurray Chicks - I need help with 3 breeds

I also ordered an extra easter egger - to make sure I got one. Well I got 20 Cornish chicks, a couple Dark cornish?, a couple tan chicks (unknown...

    Trader Joes & Other Grocery Store Egg Hatching Club - Are you a Member

    I did not even know you could buy fertilized eggs in the store! There probably aren't any stores around here that would have them though (SW VA). I love learning new chicken stuff on BYC!!! Doesn't refrigeration stop the development? Why do they sell them like that, for people to hatch them -...

    Free Rare Chick from McMurray's?

    Quote: I got the same free exotic chick today - white crested black polish. I had a lot of Cornishes and the same thing probably happened with it too. It's the first one that's died so far. Would have been so neat if it had made it! Shipping took four days - so they weren't exactly peachy...
