22 new fluffnuggets since Wed...

Alright now, what'd you hatch?

Are they jumping any great distance from a roost that might jar the unlaid egg?

Well, there's no need to since I have step down roosts and they usually go from top to middle to bottom before jumping off, from what I've seen. (3 level roosts).

Didn't think any of you guys would need this, but came across it so thought I'd drop it, jic:

Any possibility of separating the 'suspect' hen in order to make sure you're getting only her eggs from her nest? That way, you could continue to candle them & see if the problem goes away.

Since I have had the broody sagas I've been candling the extra eggs that I remove from the nest and I have noticed something. I have two pullets in the second coop that lay white eggs. I know my Spitz is one white egg layer but I'm not sure what other one is laying white eggs, but anyhow, I have candled 3 different white eggs over the course of the last couple weeks that have detatched air cells. Ruptured detached air cells. When you move the egg you can see the air cell move and little bubbles around it move as well. I have never seen this in any of my other eggs. I'm assuming they have all come from the same pullet and it's bird specific, but I was quite surprised.

The only time I have seen that effect is in those rotten local eggs I set. They were full of loose small bubbles of rottenness and exploded on impact in the garden.

lol... I started with around 60 eggs... LOTS of clears... :/

I swear this is the longest molt ever...

AC's huh? Them is pricey... I personally prefer the look of the Svart's though... but can't do any more new breeds here for now at least... still trying to decide if we'll keep all the ones we have now... :/
