I've occasionally seen this guy in my barn and consider it a welcome guest ( eats mice) but this is the first time seeing him in my coop.
What 'cha think?
One of my Rhode Island Reds has been laying eggs with "speckles" in the shell. I thought it was unique but recently the speckles have grown in size and I can scrape them off, so I'm thinking this is blood. Attached photos show before and after I cleaned them. Is this comething to be concerned...
Greetings from Florida. I am a Viet Nam vet and we have had chickens for 30-some years at various homes in California, Washington State and now Florida. Prefer Rhode Island Reds but love just watching any breed. Look forward to getting some opinions on an issue I have with one of my hens.
