Hiya Chris, and welcome to BYC!!

I would get some pictures and post them here or in our Emergency forum.

By spots do you mean bumps or actual different colored spots?

Strange poop can sometimes be cleared up with probiotics but that one might need further investigation.

Oh, and Merry Christmas!!

It’s just in the outside of the egg and you can scratch them off . I’m going to get a pic up asap

Probably calcium deposits then. I get those but quite rarely actually.

My name is Chris D . My wife and I have a homestead in Coastal NC . We have 7 Hens that we are raising for eggs . They have been very therapeutic for us . We’ve had some difficulties but have managed to figure it out by reading some old posts .
I do have a few things haven’t figured out yet .
1) We have one chick who lays a egg with spots on the surface .
2) One or 2 of the hens seem to have a tarry blackish stool .

Any thoughts on this would be great . I didn’t think to take photos but maybe I can add some tomorrow in the light .

Thanks for accepting us into your community.

Welcome, and Howdy, neighbor! I'm in Pitt County.

There's a few of us Tarheelers around BYC, knowledgeable people like @Wyorp Rock .

After you get the tarry stools diagnosed and resolved, check out the NC thread. I'll dig up the link.

And share photos of your build and your flock. We all love pictures!

Does that tarry poop stink bad? Was it just for a day? If yes, then cecal poop. I've seen those types of poop on occasion from mine too, probably cecal or something they ate from free-ranging.

If you think it's beyond that, then you may want to post that in our emergency forum as it could mean other things and I don't want to just suggest a bunch of stuff here.
