    What Does This White Layer Mean?

    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?

    Weird design on egg?

    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!

    Can Diamond Doves eat meat?

    I have a male diamond dove who is having an identity crisis and thinks he is a quail, he snuggled with them last night and today he surprised me. I was treating the quail with some sausage, and the dove ran over... Literally ran over, to the quail feeding ball and gave it a peck too! AND he ate...

    Pullet sleeping on other side of the roosts

    I have been noticing that my Buff Orpington pullet, Brittney, has been sleeping/roosting on the other side of the coop than next to the pullets she grew up with. But I also have two chicks (maybe a month and a half, not positive on age but around there) that sleep on the opposite side of the...

    EE hen doesn't lay anymore?

    I have seven chickens, two of which are Easter Eggers. One of them, Tiger, seems to have stopped laying. She is only two years old as of this past May, but we haven't gotten two blue eggs in a day for about six months. Also, she didn't molt last fall and she is molting super lightly this year...

    Hen acting like a human baby.

    Does anyone else have a hen like this, or is mine just an overly spoiled weirdo? :p One of the hens sometimes starts doing her alarm call when startled by something and the only thing that calms her down, other than treats, but if I did that every time she'd be as big as the house, is me...

    Muscovy Hen

    Hi! I have an assorted flock of ducks, one of which is a muscovy. She is my favorite, but she has some weird behaviors that I don't notice in the others. She likes to follow humans around, and will eat out of the hand, unlike her brethren. If I step out of the house, and she sees me from the...

    Rooster Not Crowing Right

    I have a sultan rooster that just turned one year old. As long as he has been crowing he has done a three-syllable crow instead of the normal "cock-a-doodle-doo" (his sounds like "cock-a-doooo" for comparison. I realize that some young roosters have a "baby crow" while they are still learning...

    Female button quail acting like a male?

    I took Rex out to a hospital pen so he could recover from his sons bullying him, his sons having been sold now, but... Speckles has been acting unusual. I know she is female as she has laid many eggs before and such and even hatched one batch herself, yet a day after I took Rex out so he could...

    Preening obsessed quail?

    I have a young female quail, what looks like a white cinnamon, who seems to be obsessed with preening not only her own plumage, but also the feathers of other quail. I know she is female as she has the female voice and call. When settling down to sleep she preens the closest quails to her, when...

    King Quail Hen laying eggs again (and showing signs of going broody) while still caring for babies?

    So, it seems Speckles has gone crazy with the fact that adorable fuzzy things come out of the eggs if she sits on them long enough, as I am pretty sure she isn't meant to be laying eggs yet until after she chases the babies away when they are old enough! The babies are still fuzzy and just...

    SHARE YOUR WEIRD CHICKEN STUFF

    I recently found out that you can buy diapers and jumping hurdles for chickens! I was wondering what other weird stuff I can waste my money on. And what kind of cool trick you can teach them!
