Elvira has been flooding the poop board nightly with a viscous, clear liquid -- albumen? for several weeks. I didn't have a way to figure out who of the four it was until I saw her also launch fountains of it from her vent while going about her day; sometimes with feces/urates, often not.
Her...
Post pictures of your fart/fairy eggs!
I’ve gotten three in the past 2 weeks.
Penny for reference.
Have you ever tried hatching a fart egg? What happened?
I attempted to hatch one in the past, but it never ended up hatching.
A link to an old thread of mine about one of the fart eggs I got...
I've read that fairy eggs are often darker than the normal eggs produced from the same hen. That being the case, I was wondering if you more experienced folks could weigh-in on whether this fairy egg probably came from the same EE who laid the lighter green eggs in the background (a new layer...
My silkie laid this freaky lil thing can anybody tell me what it is please, does she need to see a vet? The dimples are where I poked it when I first went to pick it up. Is it a fart egg combined with a soft shelled egg?
My 4 year old EE hen laid this "egg" after I massaged her tummy in a warm bath. I suspected a problem when she was standing oddly and acting quiet and abnormal. She wouldnt go to bed even if it was getting dark. After she seemed to poop this out she willingly went into the coop to go up to...
Got our first fairy egg today! Our 9 month RIR Dionne laid it. So tiny and cute! I think I'm going to blow it and keep the shell. Almost a perfect sphere!
Hi everyone, sorry for the long post but I wanted to give as much context as possible! Our chicken story is unconventional as a hen turned up in our garden and was never claimed by anyone (if you can name her breed from the photo I would love to know!). She is a sweet girl and we felt she needed...
More and more of my EE and BL pullets are coming into production. They are about 20 weeks old, I've sorta lost count. Every new egg is a joy, but I've been hoping I'd get at least one little "fairy egg" as things get started... and today I did! And yes, I know these have other names, like wind...
I have 10 chickens. 8 Rhode Island Red's and 2 Black Sex Links. I bought them from Tractor Supply in December of 2016. For the last few months, the reds have been loosing feather color. Currently they are 1/3-1/2 white. The Black Sex Link's color seems to have faded a little. All ten of them...
It's just about 6:30am, so getting lighter outside.
I went out a half hour ago to feed our loud birds to shut them up.
As I was walking around the yard, I found a fart egg.
We have 3 young pullets around the age of 6-7 months old but I know that our OE didn't lay it because it's not Olive green...
Hi All,
I write a chicken blog and am doing several series: Having Chickens Is A Great Way To Meet Your Neighbours; Chicken Illnesses/Emergencies and Predators.
I want to do a photo essay on weird eggs and am looking for folks who are willing to let me use their photos (with credit): egg...
Wanted to share this. When collecting eggs today, my mother and I found a teeny tiny little egg. A 'fart' egg. However, upon cracking it open, we were surprised to find that not only did it have a yolk, but it was a double yolk to boot! I just had to take a picture.
I got my first fart egg or really tiny egg maybe 1/4 the size of a regular egg! It's so cute and I haven't found the reason for it being laid. It was either my 6 year old hen Nellie or my three 4 year old hens. All the threads I read said it's usually from a newly laying chicken but it wasn't...
