I have a cross beak Bantam Frizzle EE and she does very well, despite her beak. If there is a local feed shop in your area, see if they will take her.

thanks. I'll try that.

There's a rescue group on Facebook that may be able to help you. I can't remember the name but I can pm you when I find it or post your info on there for you.

Yeah, let me know if you think of it. For now at least, she's doing ok.

While checking my eggs tonight I found an egg with a hole in it. There was a light dust like covering over it that collapsed when I touched it. I've noticed that the egg color has gotten lighter in the last week or two as well. :/ Has anyone else experience this before? I feed them layer pellets, black sunflower seeds, and oyster shells freely as they need them. I'm hoping there is nothing wrong with her...

Sometimes you get a ooopppss egg.. Never had one untill the other day.. Cheryl our silkie, I think it was her.. She is trying to go broody again.. Not going to happen.. The shell was very thin, see through & had brooke open in her nest.. We have the oyster shell out, but it could be just a fluke.. Do you think the egg could of been layed a while back & they uncovered it? I found one that some hen had dug up .. It was light as though it had been out in the yard for a while..

Well, I am stuck at work until midnight, but the DW called about 4:15, and it sounds like I lost the back 10 feet of the chicken palace to a windstorm. She had a good time trying to round up about 90 chickens before my dogs got them. The really bad part is I ordered a couple boxes of earth auger type tiedowns, and they arrived about an hour before I left for work!

Oh no, bless your heart..
She got her work out for the day

Looks like a rodent was gnawing on it. I had that problem too but a couple of barn cats solved it.

thats no good. It seemed to look like it was laid that way when I found it :/ have you had them chew on them without leaving cracks or teeth marks?

If it was a rodent they would eat the whole thing.. That look's like the hens beak.. Dirt can be from their fluffy bottoms..
