I've only had a few of those in all my years - they are so funny. Oldtimers call them "wind eggs". not sure why. I didn't ask
In the spring, my yard is very swamp-like. Our house was built on the side of a hill, so filler dirt was used to create a flat area for the house and yard. The filler dirt just happens to be very thick clay. In the spring, our front yard holds enough water that it comes to just above the soles of your shoes - just deep enough to get the inside of your shoes wet. Every year, we have thousands of tad poles. Do you think it will hurt the chickens at all to be in that? Will they eat tadpoles?
Thank you so much! There is plenty of space for them to run around. I'm picking up my first ever chickens Friday. I don't expect them to wander into the front yard for a while, but just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a problem if they did.Hey Jessimash, welcome to the thread, and my apologies if I've missed you before.
The chickens will probably eat the tadpoles, mine eat frogs. I've never had a chicken resist walking thru wet mud puddles, or standing water pooled in the yard or meadow. I would say as long as they have dry spots to be in, they will be fine!

I had one like that after mine had been laying for awhile. So I think it must not be too out of the ordinary!
