    Chalky eggs

    Hi! i have a 27wo RIR who started out laying shell less eggs and now is laying many chalky eggs with little or no bloom. Is this a common early egg problem? Stories guide doesn’t discuss this.

    Feeling poorly

    I did a digital exam, no bound egg. She is free range with organic layer, oyster shell and egg she added. Her last egg 2 days ago, shell less. She just started laying 1-1/2 wks ago, has had 2 shelled eggs, 2 shell-less and one very thin shell.

    Feeling poorly

    help! My 24w RIR is acting lethargic. Her eyes are clear, no nasal discharge, mouth appears moist inside, no lodged egg on digital exam. She isn’t with the other 3 hens, but is hiding. I’m providing food/water next to her. Advice please?

    Shell-less egg

    I have 4 chickens, 24 weeks and all laying. One, a RIR is laying shellless eggs every 3rd time. They are eating complete layer with free range, getting oyster shell and crushed eggshells. Is this normal? For how long? Thank You.

    Thank You for your reply. I read in “Stories Guide to Chickens” to start lighting in September if you want more eggs in winter. I got an adjustable timer and yellow bulb but wasn’t sure where to mount. I will put in bottom open area. But I can’t do as jthornton suggests and do AM because it is...

    I’m getting ready to put a light in my coop to encourage longer egg laying. Here is my question; Do you put the light in the bedroom portion of a small coop or the bottom wire portion? I have a small coop with 4 hens. Thanks

    Chicken keeping without coops or with mutiple coops

    Well I live in a suburb. One of my girls didn’t coop last night, and my hubby and I were called out of bed in the middle of the night with her screaming in the cedar tree as a coon was running on the fence. Needless to say I won’t let that happen again ... Envious of your ability to leave them...
