    Hot Pink Spots on Eggs

    Hey everyone! Our Buff Orpington has been laying eggs consistently with this random hot pink spot on them. Any thoughts as to what’s causing this?! It doesn’t wash off, it’s been on her eggs consistently since she started laying a few months ago. Thanks for your help!

    Is this a lash egg?

    I found this today in the run. None of our chickens have laid eggs yet. They’re about 4.5 months old. It was very dry but not exactly brittle - I couldn’t just break it apart with my hands, I had to cut it with a knife to see inside. The stick part wasn’t a part of it, just stuck on there from...

    Squishy Egg that has cracks but doesn't break. What's going on?

    My silkie hen just started laying but her first eggs have been squishy. When I press down on them they don't break open but crack everywhere and are very pliable and easy to morph into any shape. Does anyone know what's going on?

    Strange egg

    One of our hens was sick and didn’t lay for about a week. This egg was in the nesting box (our eggs are fertilized). The shell was very thin and broken and this was inside. I don’t know if it was from the sick hen or a new layer that shares the same coop because it was so small and a lighter...

    Bumpy/Weird Eggs & Poop below Vent

    Not sure what breed this girl is, but she’s almost 7 months old & we’ve raised her from a chick since we got her at the local farm store. When she began laying eggs in August, they were normal, hard shelled, and regular appearance. They started out smaller & gradually grew larger, as expected...

    Pekin laid her first egg, I have questions.

    I have two Pekin ducks. They are about 5 months old. Today I went to change their water and feed them and I found that one of them had laid an egg but it was broken in half. Is this normal for them to break their first egg. Could it have been the other duck that broke it?
