    Raised cracks in eggs and dark lines on the inside of egg.

    I tried searching all over but couldn't find anything describing this. I'm worried they might be cracks or micro cracks and bacteria that grew around them. I'm a first time hen owner and my chickens just started laying. I found some of these on concrete and it seems like they are cracked, they...

    Molting or Mites (or Both)?

    The only girl left in my original flock is about 2.5 years old and has started losing a lot of feathers. Over the last week she started losing the down feathers on her body, and last night she lost some of her tail feathers. She does not seem to be following the typical pattern of feather loss...

    Blob layed in nest D:

    Hello! So long story short, I went to lock my Chooks up this evening I noticed this blob in their nest box, i'm a bit nervous, because I've heard horror stories regarding "lash" eggs, I'm hoping it's just a soft shelled egg instead. I didn't touch it at all so don't worry about that. I have...

    Feather loss, egg abnormalities but almost no behaviour change.

    Apologies for the (likely) long post here. Trying my hardest to save a hen! Situation: I have an (approx) 2.5 year-old hybrid. She used to rule the roost (of two), but when my second hybrid was attacked by a fox and killed, I got a young black rock to replace her. The logic here was to get a...

    White Leghorns Eating Their Own Eggs- HELP!

    Sorry if this has been discussed before- I wanted to add some pertinent details that may be important for whatever solution I might receive from y'all. Okay, so I have two types of hens (and one rooster, who is a white leghorn); ISA Browns and White Leghorns. We have about 25 of both types...

    Duck laying egg yolk and white with no shell or membrane

    My Cayuga ducks are almost 2 now and one of them has had some egg trouble before (laying soft eggs or eggs with just membranes) that was last year though and she’s been totally fine this year until today. The ducks get layer pellets and oyster shells so i think they’re getting good calcium. The...

    Is my hen sick or injured?

    I have a hen that is exhibiting some odd behavior. She used to be one of my most active and busy hens, but now, all she does is lay around. When she gets up, she kind of stumbles a bit and her wings go out— when she walks, she’s a little slow and almost waddles kind of wide-legged. Any ideas...

    Quail that lays peanut shaped eggs

    The left two eggs are laid by the same chicken. She lays these odd shaped eggs every day. The right one is one of the regular shaped eggs in the same aviary. Just a quirk or what do you guys think? It’s been months since she started laying and they are always similar

    UPDATED WITH PHOTOS: Hunched, Ruffled Feathers, Excessive Quacking, Weird Yolks. Whats happening?

    Hello. I have a 1 year 3 month old Cayuga Hen. Since April (it's almost July now), she has been ruffling her feathers, hunching her neck, and quacking excessively every time she sees or even just hears us in the yard. In the last 2 weeks, her eggshells have gotten gray (which is exciting), but...

    Paper-like & wrinkly coating on eggshell

    One of my girls laid an egg and it’s the oddest one I’ve gotten. The egg itself seems totally normal in the spots I can see the underlying eggshell. On top is a sort of coating - it’s dried & wrinkly and feels sort of like if someone coated the egg in wet paper and let it dry. This egg took a...

    Shell-less, yolkless egg looks like scrambled whites

    Hen is 18 month old We have been treating her for bumblefoot the last three days and had her in a dog cage. She was limping, which prompted our attention. In the last week, she laid two normal eggs, followed by two eggs with membrane only that just fell from the roosting bar. For 36 hours she...

    Chicken laid abnormally dark/vibrant egg, now lethargic with pale comb

    Hi everyone, My 4-year-old Easter Egger Bessy laid a very dark (crazy vibrant/saturated) blue egg yesterday. Her eggs are normally pale blue (you can see the difference in the pics). Today, she's very lethargic, standing around like she's zoned out, and her comb is suddenly very pale. She's...

    Odd eggs - help I can't find the answer

    I'm fairly new to chickens but recently our eggs seemed to have changed. I've spent time on here and elsewhere trying to find the answer but I'm at a loss. Our main flock of 6 hens (1.5yrs) recently grew with an addition of a new roo and two silkie hens. Everything seemed great for a couple...

    Weird egg??

    I literally just found this in my chicken run in a pile of poop next to my Easter Eggers, what is it??? I've seen jelly eggs before and fairy eggs and I know what a lash egg is (never had one thankfully) but what is this thing??? It looks like an egg yolk but it was almost rubbery? I'm like 80%...

    Odd bumps & a lot of eggs!

    So, today me and my boyfriend went to collect the eggs laid by our 3 hens. We hadn’t collected eggs since Monday, yet there were 11 eggs!! I don't think that's quite abnormal, but then we look at one of the eggs and it had really weird bumps on it that we had never seen before. If anyone knows...

    Brown stuff in egg?

    Hi, not sure where exactly to share this post, but I was wondering if anyone has an idea about what this brown stuff is in this egg? I’ve gotten a few like this before.

    Half dark half light

    I have an egg that’s half and half. When I move it a small amount moves. Like fluid the size of my pinky but the black blob is almost stuck. Is this a dud?

    Soft egg binding

    Hey all long time no see, 4 days ago my ducko pipsqueak laid a pretty nasty looking soft shell egg in the pool so I've been giving her daily calcium supplements since, but the next day I noticed it looked like another egg was in her chamber and after feeling it through her it is clearly another...

    What in the sam hill am I looking at?

    One of my Golden Comets laid this thing. I have 2 Golden Comets and two new Leghorns. For months now only one of the Golden Comets has been laying, whereas previous they both had been every single day. I wasn't terribly worried, otherwise they both seem quite healthy and I thought one might be...
