The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[Reyvaughn]

I would like to make an observation Please. All of the eggs I have gotten this year have porous shells. Some from here, some from other avenues. Last year I had 80% shipped egg hatches and I always have 100% hatch of my own eggs. This Spring it has been awful Only one chick of the first 2 dozen eggs I have had shipped in made it to hatch then died in shell.Six of my own eggs in the same incubator hatched just fine. I have 2 dozen more shipped eggs in my bator right now, all but 2 of them have porous shells and only those 2 are developing. Please give your hens calcium supplements. Especially if you are shipping eggs. Thank You.

I have been giving my girls oyster shell since they started laying and I noticed I am having porous eggs and some thin shelled ones anyways. I try to catch the porous ones and I put them in the fridge. Some still manage to make it through because they aren't visible to the naked eye.

Yes, I see them from time to time but check them as I package them. I'm thinking if they get too cold this happens. Maybe during shipping they got too cold?

I did oyster shell for a while, but noticed it either wasn't getting touched, or it wasn't being consumed by the hens that needed it. So I switched to lime instead.

THIS LIME (click for link) is made of the same type of calcium found in egg shells. It comes in powder form, and I shake it up with the chicken feed so it actually coats the feed. Same with treats - shake them up and coat them with lime. I noticed my two worst porous-shell layers cleared up after I started doing it.

And an added bonus: If you read the top, it says 100% organic.

I am amused by my roos reactions to the bowl. They see the hens attraction to it and try it only to spit it out and look at the girls excitement lime they are crazy!

Sorry Dak. I wanted to make sure it was seen. I promise to behave from here on.
