About 4 weeks is what I've been told.

We here are actually isolated by law, and by geography, so EVERY breed that we have here came by ingenuity and bravery of individuals. I told him that he should be a specialist and focus only on 3 breeds that he have some breeding stock lefet.
Light sussex , Buff sussex , SL Barnevelders. The most beautiful breed in the world IMO!

I had the Coronation Sussex at one time. Unfortunately the guy I got them from had Mareks in his flocks and I lost them. I wasn't impressed with the way the his birds looked at the time but I didn't know better then.

Does anyone know why one of my chickens keeps laying these soft-shelled eggs - despite eating layer feed????

Every few days, I find an egg in there, that's soft and squishy, rather than hard shelled.

Usually that's a calcium deficiency, try feeding egg shells back to them or giving them crushed oyster shell.

No idea I get some from time to time.

If they weren't being fed a layer feed with extra calcium, I would agree with you. They've also had oyster shell out there, too. It's random. I'll get 2-3 good eggs, then find a soft-shelled one.

I'm pretty sure my RIR is the one who's doing it. She's laying regular eggs, then throws a soft one. She's our alpha, and is the one who eats all the layer feed and any supplements/treats out there.

@kwhites634@DwayneNLizIt is all about context on yellow
Go Pack! It is going to be much harder today with the top three receivers hurt, and Rogers and several others fighting the flu.
