Hi everyone 👋
I have a hen who is eating my eggs and only my bantam eggs. I can leave all my other eggs in the box no problem, but she can't resist the bantam eggs. I noticed egg yolk in the nesting box a few days ago and today caught the hen in action so I know exactly who it is.
She lays...
4’x8’ chicken coop that’s is 3’ off ground, front of the chicken coop is flat with 7 nesting boxes on the inside left 12’x12’ and a 2’x 8’ window on top of the nesting boxes, I also plan on drilling 4” holes from outside to each nesting box and having that hole closed with plexy glass up take...
Hoping for some advice about a sudden change in egg quality for the last week/week and a half (hoping I can blame the weather?)
Have a 7 month old Belgian d'Uccle who started laying just before Christmas and was laying a consistently perfect little egg every 2-3 days. She didn't seem to get the...
Hey there!
So I have a couple Olive Eggers and a couple Barred Rocks and for some reason one of my Olive Eggers will not lay an egg one day and then lay two eggs the next day. She’s been pretty consistent the past week with skipping and then laying double. They will soon be one and this is...
Hey there!
So I have an Olive Egger 10mths old. She has been acting fine all day and even got to eat fresh grass in the chicken tractor this afternoon. She didn’t want to lay an egg until about 6:30 tonight. She crawled in the nesting box and hasn’t moved since. I have a camera out there and...
Hello everyone,
My 3 year and 3 months leghorn hen has been experiencing a bloated abdomen lately. A few days ago, she was egg bound as i saw her pushing, but soon after I didn’t see any egg come out of her and she was fine afterwards. Then I started to see her abdomen looking unusual and big...
I got home this evening and my chickens were acting fine, my Frannie girl ran into her nesting box while I was outside and looked eager to lay an egg. Laid for a while and nothing. I went back outside to collect eggs to find her under her house not wanting to move but bearing down. Yesterday she...
Hello everyone,
I need your help right now, my 2 year & 10 month old leghorn hen started laying soft shelled eggs a month ago. I started to feed her 1 calcium tablet (600mg) daily for 4 days but didn't see her lay an egg anymore, so I stopped with the tablets. At that time, she was still acting...
i heard my chicken make her egg song earlier and i just had a chance to check for her egg right as i put them in their coop, and there is no egg. should i be concerned?
I candled some eggs from the same batch and the same flashlight, two bantam eggs were different colors inside. One was red and one was yellow inside when I candled them. They were refrigerated so they probably aren't very good for hatching but I'm curious why the two eggs are different colors...

I can’t decide which Incubator to get, I’ve heard the Nurture Right 360 is great, but I don’t know if it had a wide enough range for my specifications. I’ve heard it does well with chickens, quail and pheasant, but I aim to hatch much larger eggs, like turkeys, peacocks and geese. Does it still...
Hello everyone, I know it's pretty weird of my-self to ask how much chicken scratch should i feed to my chickens but I really want to feed them the best/desired amount. I bought a bag of Dumor 6 grain chicken scratch at my local TSC (LINK to chicken scratch...

Hi all,
My chickens recently started laying and I noticed something weird on an egg. There are some weird bumps on it and it sort of looks like it’s about to crack (pictures below). Can anyone let me know what it is and if I should be worried??
At 11 PM EST today I went out to get my rooster and put in my garage for the night. I thought it would be the usual, but then I find this tiny EGG sitting in the corner!! My heart sank and wow was I excited! I can't believe one already started laying since there only 5-6 months old?! Anyway, woohoo!
