    Is this LASH EGG?

    So it's been 15 days since my hen had crop surgery. She stopped her antibiotic treatment a week ago. Her crop is empty in the mornings and she's been having regular normal poops again. I thought she might be recovering finally but this morning I found in her bedding this long strip of something...

    First Giant Egg!

    One of my chickens laid a huge egg!! My family’s coworkers all thought it was good luck but I was actually concerned when I heard about chickens being egg bound when learning about chickens 😅 it is amazing though I’ve heard of double yolks but never knew they could have an egg in an egg. I read...

    Chicken only laying yolk!

    I have a plymouth rock chicken who had been a steady layer with good large eggs but for the past 2-3 weeks she has been laying just yolk and sometimes there’s a very thin shell in the coop. Her only other symptom is that she has a bare belly which is a recent discovery on my end. Let me know...

    Help! I think an undeveloped egg is stuck in my hen's vent?? Prolapse? Let it pass? Bath?

    Hello! My chicken Blue here has always been a slightly problematic layer, she lays the hugest eggs I've ever seen, and to be honest I'm not sure how she's done it this long (she's about 2.5). This morning when I went to take care of them, I noticed this giant white bulb like material sticking...

    Lash egg?

    Hello everyone I came out this morning to clean the coop out and found this mass inside one of my chicken’s poop. Trying to confirm if it’s a lash egg. None of my chicken have been showing any concerning behavior but still haven’t seen anything like this before. I’m not sure even which one...

    Hen with cancer started laying again ??

    Hi all, My 5 y/o Buff Cochin was 'diagnosed' with carcinomatosis as some might already know. I posted a lot about this 2-3 years ago when she first got the diagnoses, thinking she was going to pass. The vet gave her a suprelorin implant and an expected few months to live. Its been a handful of...

    Bad egg?

    One of my hens (who just started laying a few weeks ago) laid this egg. I'm not sure which one, I found it in a nest box along with a few others, as per usual. This egg is blue (my camera didn't quite pick up the coloring) and there was another large blue egg that was normal. The "wrinkled" part...

    Hi new here. New to chickens. Is this a meat spot? Could it be a parasite?

    Strange egg, the shell sounds like metal? Video included!

    So this is a new one for us! I collected eggs yesterday. Our young pullets have just started laying within the last two weeks or so. I know to expect odd eggs, shell-less, double yolkers, etc, but this is a whole new experience. I'm not really concerned about it, but found it fascinating, and I...

    3 months of absent and small eggs from year old hens

    My chickens live with my mom and she recently let me know that for the past three months my year old hens have either stopped laying or have been laying very small eggs. We’ve had a normal spring temperature wise and they get plenty of sunlight because they often free range. We feed them a store...

    Egg bound? Or something else?

    Hi all! So I just came home from vacation and went out to check on my two hens (both 6 years old, a lavender orpington and an olive egger). The orpington, Phoebe, seemed a little off when I went out there. She was a bit lethargic and her wings were drooping, which I originally attributed to the...

    Goop in Coop?

    Does anyone know what this is? I’ve noticed it for 2 days. It resembles egg whites in the nesting box my girls lay in. They are all acting normal, eating and drinking, and laying either everyday or every other day. They haven’t eaten any eggs, not that I’m aware of. I have 4 girls and they all...
