That is what happens when you get a 'pretty'  bird instead of a plain old lay 5/6 out of 7 days EE mutt hen.

Scott my EE was suppose to lay well too. Now after two laying cycles she has quit. Just quit. Who knows why some lay to be old ladies and others quit as young whipper-snappers

My girls are on strike again! Lol!

I wish my hens would start laying. They were born in Feb. I feel like it should be any day now. Time to pay chicken rent.

Just heard my Sussex (hatched on Easter) singing the egg song today! It seems to be a little early, but hey! I'm not complaining.

Dottie redeemed herself today! One egg in her box after almost two weeks on strike! Lol!

Even though she is my pretty girl, she still lays about 3-4 days a week before she went on strike this week. Lol. I've got some black Australorp and those girls are laying machines. I love them all.

Has anyone heard that NC is going to require back yard flocks be registered because of the AF.

This was posted on the Bragg Wives recipe page, but it intrigued me so thought I'd ask on here.
This is from a supermarket egg.
She thought it was a double yolker, but the white "yolk" wasn't liquidy it was more hard.

Is it an egg within an egg? Or just some anomaly from the gmo feed and stress of battery cages? Anyone seen anything like this before? It's new to me so I was wondering what it was. Thanks

http://www.ncagr.gov/avianflu/ click where it says small/backyard flocks

Found this online, It appears so. I don't see any fees mentioned, more like they want a list to contact in case of any issues.
