This has been confirmed by fecal float in the past though I did not take a sample in this year because the only vet around me that will test a sample requires me to bring the chicken in for an exam as well which is quite...

    Weird Looking Eggs

    I have a hen who has laid eggs like this two days in a row now, is this something I should be worried about? If so I will go and try to figure out who’s laying them, but I just want to ask. When I shine a light on it, it looks like there is no yolk.

    Only one hen laying soft shell eggs

    I have been seeing a soft shell egg many days when collecting my eggs. I've started to pin down who is laying them and I believe it is one of my buff orphingtons. All the other hens are laying normal eggs. They are on layer feed and there is a bowl of oyster shell in the coop. What can I do?
