    i’m looking for suggestions and advice! Out of our five chickens, only one of them is consistently laying eggs with very soft shells. The top of the eggs are particularly soft with lots of little bumps on the point. Is there anything besides lack of calcium and too much salt intake that can...

    Re: Recent Post - Hope it Helps Someone

    Posted a number of days ago regarding a sweet hen that suddenly became sick. It wasn't clear what was wrong.

    Strange EGG? Normal?

    I checked the coop late night and saw this? It seems like an Egg membrane with egg yok but a lot of blood? I don’t think that much blood is normal. She layed and egg this morning and it was a normal egg. Should i be concerned? The chicken is a white silkie.

    Intestinal shedding, worm, or other?

    This morning, I found 3-4 odd looking poops where the chickens roost. My first thought was worms, specifically large roundworm because of the size of the 'worms' in the poop. I added Wazine 17 to the waters for all birds but now realize the 'worms' may just be intestinal shedding. Based on the...

    One of our older girls, Elmira, had a rough go with our rooster over 6 months ago.... she quickly became his chosen hen and she was not a fan of that AT ALL.
