Adopted this hen while she was molting. Now that her feathers are in, can anyone help me identify her breed? She is tan and almost a lavender/grey color. Thanks!
Thank you SO much for all of this info! That’s why I love BYC. I know I can come here for some serious education!
I agree, doing some more research this morning it definitely is not a developing embryo. 🤦🏻♀️ Not even close! Lol
I cut the white open and it does NOT contain pus like the latch...
One of our hens was sick and didn’t lay for about a week. This egg was in the nesting box (our eggs are fertilized). The shell was very thin and broken and this was inside. I don’t know if it was from the sick hen or a new layer that shares the same coop because it was so small and a lighter...
Some of our chickens have lost their toenails. It has happened when they were a few weeks old and seemed to be an issue at hatching. They all are just fine now 😊
This thread just made me realize that my other FIVE hens that I thought were Amerecaunas (still not sure how to spell) may actually be EE. I had always thought EE was rare- sounds like it is the other way around! Thank you. I’m loving all the education.
I adopted this beautiful hen and her owner did not know her breed. I’m fairly new to the chicken world so google searches have guided me to a silver americauna or an Easter egger. However, she looks more Easter egger to me? Opinions? (She should start laying any day so that may give me my answer)
