    Matte egg?

    one of our two olive eggers was pretty sleepy earlier and squatting weirdly so I checked for a prolapse and nothing was there so I left her alone. Later I went out to get the eggs and I got hers. I know it’s hers because she lays bigger eggs than her sister who started laying very recently. It’s...

Upon watching them, none of them eat nearly enough, and it appears to be that they’re afraid of the hens. There...
