So my fellow chicken owners has anyone heard of this before? One of my chicks has been laying eggs as usual but when I crack them open it is like a stinkbomb went off in my house. The yokes are black!!!!/img/smilies/sad.png I have been feeding them their regular layer pellet food , lots of water, some oyster shells and I do feed them table scraps. They do free range during the day. This particular chicken does have black gooey poo coming off her but and her rearend is raw because of it. ( Kind of like a baby having diaper rash)
What do I do???? I have heard it is probably something she ate but this has been going on for a little while now. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks
I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE!!!!
No horses around our girls...
No Cotton meal feed... their corn feed is GMO and hasn't changed
Their feed has not changed except for the kitchen scraps they receive from us and a co-worker who gives us their scraps as well
This is NOT completely consistent we mostly get normal eggs from her but every once in a while these BLACK ROTTEN FOUL SMELLING eggs. They seem mostly normal before the shell is cracked EXCEPT the eggs seems a bit lighter and there is not much of a yolk sloshing around when jostled.
ALSO.... there are no PHOTOS these are WAY too foul to document or keep around long enough to grab a phone/camera.
HELP AND SEND NOSE PLUGS.
