    Eggs became liquid. Why?

    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...

    White Egg Mystery

    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...

    Duck pooped egg yolk out

    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...

    Large chicken egg

    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 with egg issues?

    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...

    One hen always has cloudy eggs

    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.

    Egg shell

    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?

    Double Air Sac?

    Is this a double air sac? I’m pretty sure it was laid by our Pekin. If I were to incubate this egg, would that cause issues?

    Broken Eggs 35% of the Time - WHY?

    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...

    Lighting in Duck House

    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...
