I am guessing the one on the right is a double yolker. I have been getting a few double yolks from the youngsters. I even have one that is laying a round blue egg. Glad I don't have to try to figure out which end goes up in the incubator.View attachment 1170569]
Both of these eggs are from 6 month old Welsummer pullets that I got from R2elk.
All I can say is "OUCH"
Do you not have a coop? I do all my processed feeds in the coop where it is dry. A quick solution is to put a tarp or a sheet of plywood over the run plus do the same on the side of the run that the wind normally hits.We are getting our first major snow here in Clearmont, and I've realized our board on our run is not going to cut it in keeping an area large enough for our 6 chickens dry, let alone not have water in the food. What are some temporary measures that work for everyone else? I'm asking on here instead of the construction forum since I figure those on here have a better idea of the amount of snow I would tentatively have to scrap off the top. As our run is a foot and a half taller than me, I'm not looking forward to it. We have decided to build an actual roof in the spring.
I have a coop, I was just avoiding putting the feed in it. I have a small piece of plywood on top right now, but it doesn't give very much dry ground. My soon-to-be-culled roosters have been dumping the food on the ground every day, so the run is a mucky mess of wet feed. Once the 4 of the them are gone this weekend, I'll move the feed in to the coop for my 6 hens.Do you not have a coop? I do all my processed feeds in the coop where it is dry.

Mama dropped her off for the day so she made herself comfortable.
