    Pullet laid 2 underdeveloped eggs under roosting bar

    4.5 month old mutt breed pullet laid 2 thin shelled eggs under roosting bar last night! These two would have been her 4th and 5th eggs. One is nearly translucent very soft and burst upon impact. The other is slightly more solid but still see through as it looks like it didn't fully create its...

    First eggs!

    We got 2 eggs today! First two ever! We have buff orpingtons, a Rhode Island Red and what we were told were black sex links (but I think one is a black australorp) annnnyway.. they look a little cracked- pecking or not a strong shell? Any ideas on who laid these-one is very small!

    First Time Backyard Chicken Owner - We got our first eggs!

    I have been lurking on this site for a couple of months but have never posted. This time I would like to share my first experience of owning chickens. I bought 6 Delaware chicks from Tractor Supply in the first week of August without prior knowledge. My first worrisome encounter were pasty...

    First time egg layers and first time hatching!

    2 out of my 5 pullets are starting to lay finally! It's been about 2 weeks of laying every day to every other day. I was going to wait until next spring to incubate some, but I am just way too excited!! Is it too early to try hatching them? I want healthy chicks, of course. The rooster has...

    Egg color

    Anyone have any input on egg colors these girls might lay? First week of laying with 5 hens and we got 4 brown eggs. I’d say one or two of the girls are laying- hard to tell! Any input? Thank you!

    When can I collect the first eggs?

    My chickens have just begun to lay their first pullet eggs and I am very excited to collect them! However, I’ve heard that if you take the first egg, they will never lay in that spot again and they’re currently laying right where I want them to. How long should I wait and when I do begin...

    First eggs!

    We finally got our first eggs, today! We’re pretty sure the little green one is from our Easter Egger, Cleopatra. The large light brown one we are unsure of, could be from Charlotte the Barred Rock, Bindie the Australorp, or Cupcake the Buff Orpington. My son was over the moon to have found...

    My Leilei laid Two First Eggs

    Not seeing this pop up on the Already Asked thing, and I'm not getting answers from people I follow, so here I am. My Leilei is a 5mo SilkiexBarbu Cross who I've confirmed laid 2 first eggs as opposed to 1. How I confirmed was I saw her poop and I thought her vent had prolapsed! I quickly...

    Lavender orpington first eggs!

    Just wanted to show off my first eggs we’ve gotten in two months since my silkie hen went broody and hatched her chick. My lavender orpington laid her first egg yesterday in the nesting box and laid a slightly bigger one today in another nesting box! She’s about 22-23 weeks so it’s about time...

    First Eggs and now not laying.

    We started with two different batches of chicks this spring, one set in mid May and the second set mid June. They are White Rock, Barbezieux and Bresse. I am not sure which ones but they started laying a few small eggs mid September, we maybe had ten eggs total in that time. And for 2-3 weeks...

    First three eggs laid. 2 rotten, third had a developed chick inside

    Hello, I’ve raised my first lot of chicks this year in May. We ended up with 3 roosters and 2 girls. The roosters went to live elsewhere while I’ve kept the girls. The last rooster to be taken had his merry way with the ladies before he left. I never saw him with the two new girls but one...

    Our First Egg!

    This morning, I noticed that my chickens were behaving a little strange. I recently put a chicken door in the coop and they like to come out around 6.30am. However this morning, I saw that about half of them were out, but they were all looking into the coop through the door. Like they were...

    We made it!

    Well, Folks! We did it! We raised all 30 birds with no losses except for one! I’d say that’s pretty good! And we got our first two eggs today! Are eggs usually pretty small when they first start laying? Or are these from my silkies? (The white egg is for comparison of a normal egg)

    A little blood on poo... first eggs and horny roo

    Hello! I have a question about a small amount of blood I found in my coop that appeared to be mixed with mucus and poo. I'm guessing it's related to either that my pullets have just begun laying or that my surprise cockerel has started trying to make babies. The whole flock is vaccinated...

    What breed of bantam??

    Hello! I am new to raising chickens. I got 10 pullet chicks on April 5th. I chose 10 different breeds to see if I formed a preference for any. I let my kids pick them and of course they went for the smallest ones. I believe we ended up with a bantam by mistake which quickly became one of our...
