my Muscovy had a clutch of... 19ish eggs. I candled them every two weeks removing duds and such. However every so often there would be one that became liquid. Eventually all of them had to be removed for this reason. Is this just a thing that sometimes happened during the summer? I live in the...

Hello!
I'm rather new to owning quail, so I'd appreciate some insight on this topic. One of three hens in my larger cage laid an egg completely devoid of pigment, except for a little smear on the fat part of the egg. When I opened the egg, I also found that it lacked a membrane. All three of my...
My 1.25 yr old Amerucana has been laying soft eggs for the last month or so? I feed them fermented organic grains (Scratch n Peck Layer) and they have oyster shell available. This is the second time I’ve gotten an egg like this though. With the part of a second egg attached. Is it beyond just a...
So I've attached a few photos of what appears to egg white and yolk. No shells. I have 3 girls that could be the culprits but I cant figure put which on because they are all acting 100% normal. They all laid eggs this morning with very hard shells. They have plenty of calcium in their diet, no...
Hello Everyone!
Question please. One of our Rhode Island red hen‘s which are now two years old, lays rough feeling, oblong whitish and sometimes dented eggs. We don’t know exactly which hen it is coming from, as they all behave normally and seem very healthy.
We give them grit, oyster shell as...
My chicken has been laying some abnormally large eggs. We do have ducks but this doesn't look like a duck egg. This is the second type of this egg we have found. If you could confirm that this is a duck egg or how to help that would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone have Speckled Sussex from Cackle? If you do, egg issues? My girls have always tended to lay strange eggs. Thinner shells (If I find broken ones, it's theirs), the shells all have the "sandpaper" calcium bumps on the pointy end, and now they've lost their pigmentation.
I have 7 SS, 6...
i have a lavender orpington that ALWAYS lays cloudy eggs. Her egg is also thin shelled. The yolk it perfect but the white is very cloudy and looks bad. I’ve read about cloudy yolks being freshest but all others in my coop have clear whites. All eggs are collected each day and no others hens eggs...
We have recently started to notice 1 or more of the chickens producing these eggs. What is the matter with the egg shell? It appears to be getting worse. Any ideas out there?
I was about to make scrambled eggs but one of my duck eggs had this attached to the yolk I'm not sure what it is the egg is no older than 4-5 days is it safe to eat and what is it
So I have 10 ISA Brown pullets who just turned 18 weeks old today and 2 of them started laying last week and yesterday. The one that has been laying for about a week now has been laying beautiful dark brown eggs while the other one is laying light eggs with white speckles. I was just wondering...
We think our wellsummer is finally starting to lay again and WE THINK this is her first egg in over a year. We got her in the spring of 2017. She laid that year, Most of our girls stopped laying thru the winter as she did. So spring came around they all started laying except Red. She hasn't laid...
Sapphire (who laid first two nice eggs above)
My Sapphire Gem (Her name is Sapphire) laid her first egg on 2/26 (it was warmer out that week) Than her second came the next day. The temp dropped here the following night so I couldn’t get her to go into the coop where she’s able to lay ( I...
Hoping that some insight can come from this knowledgeable group! I have a small (2 girls ) flock. One is a New Hampshire Red and the other is an Ameraucana. About 35% of the NHR eggs are broken. I don’t think she is pecking them since there is lots of yolk. I also have porcelain eggs in the...
I’m not sure what could be causing this but my female coturnix hen has been laying eggs without shells for about 3-4 days now. She has just started to additionally poop out blood. Under her cage (she’s in solitary within the flock- comparison pic of her waste with the flock’s in images) she has...
My 2 pekins are 2 years old. I have had them since they were ducklings. I have always used a nigh light in their duck house, not for egg production reasons, but just so they could see their water and food at night. My girls lay all year round, but the one hasn't been consistent since last...
