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...
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...
What in the world is this? We cut it open and looked like a normal egg. We have laying hens and chicks in the same coop. Chicks are not of laying age yet so we have grower feed in the coop along with layer feed. I think everyone in the coop is eating the grower. Is this a calcium deficiency...
I bought some 15 month old ISA browns off a lady just over a week ago ( she had many other chickens and Cockerells) they have been laying lovely eggs most days, but today I found the weirdest looking egg in their nesting box. It's almost like rubber, it's not a hard shell, very soft and...
My chicken Bubbles, A Sapphire Splash, layed a shelless egg a few minutes ago. She was straining almost wheezing and standing like a penguin. She finally layed the egg. It looked normal at first, but then I picked it up. This is the first time its happened with this bird. What should I do?
This morning I found an egg in the coop that had no shell then my kids came home check the coop and I had three more eggs but one with no shell. Is this from the same chick? Or different? All my hens were born between January to February this year. I feed from our local feed of 16% layer feed...
So we have 4 laying hens (1yr.) and 28 ten week old chicks.
Generally, we get 3-4 eggs a day from the laying girls, but lately we’ve been getting 2.
So today, there I am, hanging out, feeding the girls mealworms, when all of a sudden, CHAD SQUAT DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND LAID AN EGG WITH NO...
So funny thing happened the other day, we were looking for which Chicken on the roost had bumblefoot so we were picking up the chickens to look at their feet, one of them must have gotten scared because a egg fell onto the ground. But the weird thing is it has no shell! Just that film that...
My easter egger laid an egg without shell today. Now she is in really bad shape: keep drooping her head and move very slowly. I found her dropping containing yolk! I attached two pictures here. She has been healthy all the time, and all of a sudden she is like this. No idea what happened! Please...
Meet Butter Bean, our Buff Orpington. She is 8 mo old, pretty consistent layer since early September. We've noticed these spots on her face and wonder if someone might help identify. Also, she left us a shell-less, smaller than usual egg this morning. Not sure if that's related, but we're...
I checked the coop late night and saw this? It seems like an Egg membrane with egg yok but a lot of blood? I don’t think that much blood is normal. She layed and egg this morning and it was a normal egg. Should i be concerned?
The chicken is a white silkie.
Well... I've read about it and I've seen the pictures but this is the first time I'm experiencing the shell-less egg thing. I have 3 layers( 2 EEs & an Australorp), all still under a year old (just by about a month or two). They've been laying now for about 5 months. They've been daily layers...
