    Broody hen question!!

    So one of my gamefowl hens was going broody and trying to steal eggs from a hen that was already sitting. We had to move her to a separate coop as she ended up breaking two of the eggs. After we moved her she didn’t want to sit anymore and became very flighty. We’ve since moved her back to her...

    Eggcited for Eggs!

    My second post of the night! I have four Buff Orpington chickens that are 16 weeks old. Yesterday, my littlest chicken (Rosemary) started doing what I think is the submissive squat when I approach to pet her. I have read that once they start doing this, they are near to egg laying. Is 16 weeks...

    No-Shell Egg laid at night time

    So recently, my 22week old flock has started laying eggs. For the past two days, this chick had been going in and out of the nesting box like she’s getting ready to lay. Tonight, I count all them in the coop and I notice she seems constipated on the roosting bar. Then bam, an egg just drops...

    Egg bound or sick or something else?

    One of my buff orpingtons is acting weird today. Her tail is down and it seems like she’s shuffling around to walk, not going super far, and laying down every chance she can. When she is laying it seems like she’s trying to squeeze something out so I’m thinking she may be egg bound, however she...

    Did I kill my eggs?

    Hi y'all. I am unsure if I killed my eggs trying to save the ones that hatched. This is my first time incubating eggs. I Bought the Natures Right 360, but got ripped off and it never came. I had to buy a still air tractor supply incubator because my fertile eggs arrived and I had nothing to...

    My polish chicken is almost one and she hasn't laid an egg?

    Our beloved (sort of psychotic--ha!) Polish hen, Pierogi, is almost one year old and hasn't laid a single egg. Our other ladies, born the same day, have been laying for months now. Pierogi has rooster tendencies (a bit aggressive, will try and attack anything that comes near the coop) but is...

    Day 5/6 slow developer

    help!! Day 6 or 7 and this little “girl” is really slow. Didn’t see any signs it was a good egg until day 4 and it was very faint veins. I have what looks like a blood ring in the side. You can see a little heart flutter when looking very closely. Is this viable?

    strange oval egg

    does this white X in the yolk mean anything or am i reading to far into it? it’s the cracked egg (i cracked it obviously). I also added a pic of a normal egg from another hen that’s the same breed. There are two that lay eggs and 3 hens that haven’t laid yet. is this an egg from a maturing female?

    Hen laid deformed egg!

    Hi everyone, I’m a bit alarmed because this morning my leghorn hen laid an egg but it seemed to be missing some shell. In the past few weeks she has also laid eggs which looked a little cracked but I thought it was because I might’ve accidentally bumped them or something. She gets a diet of...
