This is my first post. I do come here for information, and have since I started raising chickens 6 years ago. I still need to go to the new member section to introduce myself but suffice to say I have a 4 acre Homestead in Southern Arizona with 34 hens, one rooster, a goat, a horse, two barn cats, three dogs and two rowdy little boys. Most years I have a 16 ft by 34 ft garden but the last two years it has been a temporary goat pen and a brooder container for my last batch of chicks. My wife and I stay busy.
I found this in a nesting box last night. It is kind of soft and squishy like a hard-boiled egg. I have not cut it open yet. Any ideas on what this could be? All the girls look healthy but I'm running a feather fixer mix with my standard layer mix and several of the girls have had diarrhea pretty much non-stop with it. On the plus side, everybody's plumes look great! I had a couple of girls that look like they just came out of the spin cycle, more like zombie chickens than live girls. Everyone looks good now.
Thanks in advance!
