weird

Hello All! I have a bantam easter egger that is a year + a few months old. She seems very healthy and isn’t picked on or bullied by anyone else in the flock. However, I notice that every once in a while (which is too common for my liking), she’ll lay a soft shelled or completely shell-less egg...

On 5/5, I returned from being out of the country for 10 days as I studied abroad! It was a fun time but I was excited to be back and to be honest, I was getting concerned as I'm the main chicken lady at home and was worried about my flock! They were all sleeping peacefully when I returned home...

Hi, I have hens of my own and have been eating their eggs for years. The other day, I cracked open a white shelled egg and to my surprise there was a bead size blue ball in the egg white?? I have never seen this before, and I can’t find any information on the internet... does anyone have any...

Hi everyone! One of my easter egger hens, plus a couple of my others, have a weird toe that points upwards or in a weird direction. It’s always the back toe, and never any of the front 3 toes. Here’s some pictures so y’all can see what is going on with her little feet. Thank you all in advance!

My female Toulouse goose, Sniper, somehow managed to hurt herself a few days ago. She was fine earlier in the day when I let them into their enclosure, but later on towards the end of the day, she was laying on the ground unable to walk. She has no visible injuries. I've been giving her some...

cracked an egg and got this! Is it the start of a double Yolker? Or what ??

My friend's hen just started acting weird. Sitting and falling asleep almost like narcolepsy, but waking up to eat and drink again. It's like she's looking around with her eyes closed. 1. No respiratory problems 2. No sneezing 3. Green poop 4. Doesnt respond when talked to 5. Only opens eyes...

I had a small flock of babies all of which came off a line of dorking the hen is easily 15th generation and only Rhode Island Red mix as far as I know that’s all we’ve ever had and my neighbors bought a rooster and just gave us..this is the first flock that’s stayed around to adulthood and out...

i have a rooster that is a little over a year old and lately he has started acting crazy. He is the only chicken doing this. He will stand still for a second and then start running like something is chasing him. He also shakes his head like there’s something on his wattles. His wattles have...

So we have this chicken that I got as a pullet. The first thing she did when she saw the big chickens was run over and aggressively peck their ankles. So we named her Talus. I swear she has a screw loose. Well when ever she sneaks into her house or trying to get food from the others she crouches...

Hello, First of all, I really am sorry to ask the strangest question on earth. but, it's kinda been driving me crazy for a month, and today I've decided to ask. (Google was not helpful) But, is there such thing as chickens having a dominant foot? For example, when scratching dirt, I have...

Have your chickens laid their eggs in very odd places? Did you want to laugh about it with other people? You're in the right place! Here, you can share the weirdest places your chickens have laid their eggs. I'll start: I was watching a movie with my chicken, Sweety, watching me. After she...

I have a chicken that's about three and a half years old that as long as I can remember when she gets out of the coop she lowers her head Wiggles it left and right and walks backwards. She does this a couple of times before she walks forward and continues on with her day does anybody else have a...

One of my girls likes to take a looooooong time laying her egg. I mean like 2 hours. Lately, it's been more like 4 hours of her being on the nest. I know because I have a cam in the coop on the nesting boxes. Last night, before I went to bed I went out to check on them and found her in one...

I had this dream that zac efron came to my house and I got all these autographes and then I asked him if he was dating Zendaya. All he did was shush me and smile then I asked him if he wanted to come to this play I'm in (in the play I'm riley from inside out) and he gave me his phone number and...

I joined BYC about a year ago asking for help with one of my girls because Google didn't have any answers. All they could give me were suggestions. I ended up separating her from the flock in case her condition was contagious and she ended up being alone for almost a month. My parents said i...

My girls just started laying eggs recently, when cracking one open this morning we noticed it had some white layer beneath the shell. What does this mean?

I was in my chicken coop today and I was surprised to find a very odd design on one of the eggs! I’m not sure if it’s just a fluke or something else caused it. If you think you know, please tell me!
