I spoke to a friend of mine who does exactly this and what she uses is a vegetable dye based stamp. I am not sure where she gets it, I would assume some sort of natural food market or something of that nature. She tells me that she researched it and it came up perfectly safe as long as the base...

Why do my chickens keep flying onto my back............Because there's no room in your nose. Bird of Paradise has it occupied. Oh, never mind.

Australia is another country that does not refrigerate eggs! When I first moved here I was shocked but after learning more about eggs.... Not so shocking anymore!
As far as I am concerned though, if you don't need to eat the egg then I would crack it, smell it to make sure it's ok and then...

Crazy chickens. Yesterday I gave them the leftover lamb!!!! It was a riot watching one of my Isa Browns carrying this lamb shank (must have been as heavy as she was) around...

I live in Australia so it is currently summer here! It's not hot at all so I don't think it is heat related. I doubt she will be molting unless stress would induce that.
I would think that it was the worms that caused the problem. I didn't notice them until she had...

I am going today (because of course when I saw them worms it was 5pm and everything...

Thank you so much for posting this.
One of my chickens seems to be a little on the sick side. She has been a little lethargic and really hasn't been eating well. I just tried to force feed her some oatmeal with an egg mixed in and she would not take it at all! I happened to be out by the coop...
