Hello I have a 4-5 yr old Game Bantam (so I was told) LiL Bitt. I've had her since she was a few weeks old and she's with me 24/7 and lived inside. But recently she laid a fairy egg but then gave me a variety pack of odd sized eggs. LoL and seems to have a cold, she sneezed and left little wet...

Good morning everyone! I have been raising chicks...now 6 weeks old, but I was given 5 hens and 1 rooster a few days ago. The first day they were here I received 1 egg which was really exciting and in perfect condition. Two days ago I was in the run and saw one of the hens squat down and lay...

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...
