    My newest girl started laying broken eggs

    I have a barred rock hen that is just starting to lay. Her eggs are are getting dented at the top point (front two in the photo). Is this because she's dropping them? Any suggestions? They don't seem thin to me. Maybe she needs more bedding?

    HELP! Broken egg inside hen?

    Just today I went out to visit my hens and found one sitting on the roost in our coop.

    Broken eggs

    I recently got chickens and the past two days found a broken egg in the egg box. The broken eggs are the only ones they've laid. How do I know it they're egg eating or if its thin shells? Would more bedding help?? What's causing these broken eggs??

    Is this a problem?

    We had a hawk attack yesterday. I believe only one hen was injured so she’s inside the house mending. Other two are out in the coop/run. So obviously yesterday was very stressful. Today is gorgeous weather so there even more upset being locked up than they would be. They went on a food strike...
