How did your flock annoy you today?

[LaurenRitz]

I have been having problems with the neighbors dogs. A few minutes ago the dogs start barking, and I heard snother bark behind me. Turned around, expecting to find one of the puppies... it was my rooster, barking back at the dogs.

Really, bird? I've hurried out there a number of times today looking for the barking dog, and couldn't find it.

I guess you’ve got a rooster-turned parrot! Lol

Egg shape is due to individual birds, not to specific breeds

Though I'm sure selecting certain shapes (for hatching) will help pass on that ideal egg shape

For example, 2 if my layers (marans, and wyandotte) lay a somewhat oblong egg shape. I don't want that shape, so I shouldn't hatch those eggs.
Most of my birds produce more of that regular egg shape, so their eggs are fine to hatch. (Different Marans, ancona, austra white, etc I have a mixed flock)


It's possible it's a young layer who accidentally made too large of an egg, even if they usually make regular/small ones. Their systems take a while to work out how much shell to make, how much pigment to apply, and other things (such as double yolkers)

Well I cracked the egg and it look like this. Now I alarmed.

That IS alarming… what the..?

EXACTLY!!! But so far it seems that it’s not worrisome as a one time thing. All my layers are new layers.

One time when I was hanging out in the run with the birds, our resident cornish cross Chunky shot a stream of poop 3 feet across the run and it was about 3 inches away from hitting my face.
I almost got sniped by my meat bird

You will soon have the last laugh.

Hey what if there were 3 ducklings in a flock of 46 chickens and said ducklings spent all day flicking the drinking water over there backs so I have to ree fill it about a million times a day

I cant even get the last laugh because she's basically our pet now
When we bought her we didn't know that cornish crosses were only supposed to be eaten and now I don't have the heart to kill her
