    Hello! I have a hen who has been laying soft shelled eggs for awhile now, but since recent she has been laying them everyday. What I notice is, that she is fine in the morning once I let the flock out, but when evening comes, she slows down...she goes to bed, then passes the egg. The next...

    What the heck is in this egg?

    My 3 year old california white hen laid this in a soft shell this morning- What's inside??? Looks like a white rock, and a blood clump with tissue in it. My main concern is her safety, her reproductive system has always been a little funky which I know can turn dangerous real quick.

One gifted to us who is a leghorn and another rescue black something who knows? Australorp Marans? The black hen...

    WHAT IS GOING ON?!

    Earlier one if my hens was acting sort of sleepy. She is usually a little jerk & tries to attack me (to the extent of spurring me) or "shuffles" around me. I thought it was odd that she wasn't being rude, instead she came & sat on the arm of my chair. A bit later she moved to a tree they all...

    Muscovy duck egg in incubator: turning or tilting? What about weight loss of the eggs?

    Dear muscovy duck owners, after several successful batches of chickens, I will try to hatch muscovy ducks. However, I am not sure if I can put them in the automatic egg turner which only tilts the eggs 45 degrees or so. Does this work with muscovy duck eggs? And so far a have not found anything...

    Is this a new egg type or just random speckles?

    I went to collect eggs and found two eggs that were speckled. I currently do not have any adults that would normally be laying speckled eggs yet I have two girls that are 12-13 weeks old. One I’m not sure exactly what she is and the other is an easter egger but I know it’s highly unlikely that...

    Hen lays rubber eggs every night while roosting

    Hello, I noticed one night a few weeks ago when putting my chickens away at night that one of my hens was acting strange and looked like it was squatting while roosting. I was a little confused and then it just layed an egg right there on the roosting stand. She had laid a shell less rubber egg...

    Pulled a membrane from vent

    I went to check for eggs and disturbed my barred rock. When she was done I noticed a stringy thing hanging from her vent and she was struggling to get it out so I put on a glove and helped her. Yesterday she laid an egg with a thin shell and blood inside not just a speck but streaks throughout...

    Quail eggs stopped developing, what could be wrong?

    My partner and I got 12 quail eggs to hatch, and 6 chicken eggs. Of the quail eggs, all but 1 began to develop, then they all stopped. They haven't been growing for a while, then we realized they had all died. The chicken eggs are still doing perfectly fine, with no issue. We have the chicken...

    DIY Incubator Advice

    Hey everyone, We were on the lookout for a cabinet incubator this year (because you can't have enough incubators!) and couldn't find a professional one for a reasonable price so we decided to make one. Got the wine cooler second hand for cheap, most other parts came from Amazon. -Danby...

    I have a Novagen hen around 4 years old who yesterday was looking a bit droopy and lagging behind the flock. I brought her in, gave her calcium and water with electrolytes and left her in the "sick chick" crate indoors overnight. This morning, THIS thing was in the crate. What the heck is it...

    Best egg layers?

    What is the best egg layer in your opinion? I’m torn between getting Khaki Campbell and Indian Runners. I’m located in SE New Mexico, so we have mild winters and can have super hot summers. I read that Runners use to be really good but the current breed isn’t as good anymore. Thanks in advance...

    How do you decorate your Easter eggs?

    Not exactly a recipe so feel free to move this thread somewhere else if needed. Do you decorate your eggs for Easter? Maybe you like to color them with food coloring and get the whole rainbow with your eggs? Maybe you boil your eggs in something to get fun colors? Maybe you don't color your...

    Fertilized egg or health problem?

    I have a broody hen trying to hatch eggs. I don't want chicks right now tho so I've been taking away her eggs daily. This egg I think she sat on for about 2 days before I took it. (Note, she didn't lay this egg, it's another hens) I noticed a weird shadow on about 3 eggs when I candled them to...
