    We have eggs...but they're soft

    I was thinking it probably would be fine especially if I collected it right away. I know there were no eggs last night when I put them away and there it was waiting for me in the AM when I let them out. Our temps are in the mid 50’s at night here so I’m sure it was fine to eat but didn’t want...

    We have eggs...but they're soft

    Thanks! I assumed the eggs were no good since there was no barrier from bacteria. My daughter was super excited to bring it in and break it open in the sink though. It’s the little things in life haha! I have been giving them crushed eggshells for the past week, but I’m not sure if they were...

    We have eggs...but they're soft

    We are raising chickens for the first time. We have 2 red sexlinks and 2 olive eggers. The 2 red sexlinks have been very noisy and squatting in front of me so I have been on egg watch! Yesterday morning I found 2 brown soft shell eggs right next to each other, one was deflated looking and one...

    Any ideas?

    Thanks! I know it’s still early, but was just curious. I’ve already been preparing my 3 and a half year old that if one turns out to be a boy it has to go bye bye.

    Any ideas?

    This is my first time raising chicken. I have 2 red sex links and 2 olive eggers they are almost 6 weeks. This is Beast (black one) and Belle (brown). Any ideas? Beast has a smaller comb and it’s starting to turn pink. Belle’s comb is bigger but not any larger than my sex links and is still...

    Need some advice...

    Thanks for sharing all this great advice. I decided to go with an expandable dog playpen that I can cover with bird netting. I ordered the pen on amazon so while we are waiting for it to arrive I made a make shift run out of left over garden fencing. I tied some twine around the posts and made...

    Need some advice...

    Ok Thanks! I'll do some research on an expando fence... not sure what that is. I am not even sure if my dog is much of a deterrent anyway. She spends the majority of her time sunbathing and occasionally manages to chase a few starlings away. I've watched a wild bunny hop right past her and...

    Need some advice...

    I live in a residential neighborhood and we have 4 chicks. I have never seen any hawks around until today when I walked outside just in time to see and hear a bunch crows chasing off a red tail hawk a few houses over. My daughter and our boxer were outside with the chicks, and I never let them...
