From egg to chick!

[2ndTink]

No. I crush eggshell and sprinkle it though. Should I get some anyways?

Yep! Something about the larger size of the oyster shell sticking around longer for when they need it. It's cheap, I just keep a little bowl of it in each coop and top them off as needed. The one coop lI have a little bowl attached to the run, they like to pull all the oyster shell out and spread it all over. It's what they do

They should do mine. Aside from chicken doo doo, they can't do worse than my 5 kids.

Here, hold my egg...

Yall. Can someone tell Olivia this is not how eggs are supposed to look like? I think she had a brain fart.

They all lay strange eggs when they begin to lay. Does anyone remember the egg one of my newly-laying Easter Egger pullets had, that was super dark green, tiny, and had an egg inside of it?

Oh my gosh, I remember seeing that egg during my first few weeks on BYC!

That is cool! I didn't know you had joined around that time.

I don't know if the egg was laid the same time as me joining, or if I saw it much later, or if I'm just dumb and it was more recently laid, but yes, I definitely remember the egg! So pretty, looks like a crystal!
