    Starting to get lots of eggs!

    I am so excited! This is my first flock of my own (we had chickens when I was younger) and they are just so much fun! I received my first egg on 7/26. I’ve been getting 4 eggs/day since 8/27.

    New layer having trouble passing large egg

    My sister and I have been raising chickens for years and have just recently become breeders of silkie chickens. I have dealt with egg binding before but this is a little different. I have a young hen who is trying to lay her first egg, unfortunately the egg is larger than the average first egg...
