I agree. Either they are lacking in that area, or are incredibly lacking in social graces. Why would any one purposefully puff themselves up? to make others feel inferior? So, even if they are smarter than the average Joe, they prove their lack of intellect by bragging it up.
A proverb that helps me to control my tongue: Even a fool, when he is silent, is considered wise.
I do have a lot of it I've been putting it in their food I guess I'll put some extra out in a bowl I have a bowl grit a bowl of crack corn and a bowl of 5 grain scratch do you think that's what it is lack of oyster shell is it normal to be that bloody
there are 2 yolksSoft shelled eggs happen sometimes. Just go through to quick. Blood eggs happen sometimes as well. I've had a couple over the years. It doesn't take much to make the white look horrid. Just a bit more than for blood/meat spots. Looks like you had both those things come together there. Is there more than one yolk in there, too?
. They are also eating layer feedIt's hard to see in the photo, but it *does* look like it has an egg membrane around it without the shell. How long have they been laying? Newbies will quite often lay an egg without a shell while their bodies acclimate to the new process (I've seen it called a "fart egg"). They can lay them at other times, too.
I've always seen it recommended that grit and oyster shell be offered separately so they can supplement their diets as needed. I have one container of grit and one container of shell. Additionally, a well balanced feed is supplied daily in their feeder and they free range whenever I'm home. Are they getting feed other than cracked corn and scratch? They need a well balanced feed made especially for layers. As for the grit and shell supplements, they will eat what their bodies tell them is needed. Our job is to be sure it's available.
Good luck and keep us posted!
