OKAY, I have 2 problems. First, this is day 2 of finding yolk and no egg. Second, the next photo in the circled area shows as best I could photograph, a clear jelly substance. I have a broody hen that I've been watching to break her broodiness. This was below her but I'm not 100% sure it's from...
This article is what I was looking for! Photo is the second time I've found just yolk. I've had 2 hole poked eggs this week too. I'm going to assume I have hen doing this?

I'm new to the 🐔 game. I've got 6. One of them looks bigger & is it's comb looks to be growing quickly. The other 5 are nowhere close. They're all about 7 weeks old. This one is also the friendliest. This is the best photo i could get.
New 🐔 mom here! I ordered my chicks about a month apart on accident. Today I picked up my 2 news ones (cuckoo marans). They're about a week younger than my other 4 ( 1speckeled Sussex, 3 true blue). I've got them separated. Just wondering what to look for as far as acceptance from the initial...
Hi all! I'm Katie from the Eastern Panhandle of WV. My fam & I just got some new chix. They're 5 weeks old. We have 5 right now. 2 Speckled Sussex & 3 Blue egg layers. We're getting 2 more in July (Buff Orphingtons).
