What is wrong with this egg?

I am trying to decide what I want to put my oyster shell, grit and egg shells in. I see this feeder on Amazon and like the idea of the lid and the divider. It’s like $34 which seems pretty outrageous to me but I can’t find anything like it for cheaper. Right now I feed them in small metal dog...

Australorp or jersey giant? Previous owner wasn’t sure which she was. I took a pic of the feet because I read that was how you tell but those feet look gray to me 😂

Two of my six girls. Twenty is my Bielefelder. Ruler of the roost or flock. 😂 She is always the first to come running when I walk in the run. She is the first to try anything new out. She is also the only one besides the Silkie that will let me pet her. I named her Twenty because she cost $20...

Hello everyone. Does this girl look healthy? I feel like her comb is a bit lighter color than the other ladies. She is not laying yet and the other three that I brought home at the same time are up to daily laying. Just wondering if something could be going on with her. Do I need to take better...

Hello again. I have a question on feeding my flock of six. I have all different breeds. I have read the silkies need to eat at least 20% protein but better to have 22%. So do I need to buy an all flock feed or meat bird feed? and just make sure to give the crushed shells back to them so they...

I have searched but can’t seem to find exactly what I’m looking for. Wanting to buy black soldier fly larvae on the regular to create a mix treat (scratch grains, boss, flax) for the girls. Trying to find the best deal with the most bulk. Looking on chewy and Amazon but would be willing to...

Hello! New to anything but RIR. Brought our girls home last Saturday and have been getting 2 eggs since Monday I believe. Out of these breeds can you determine which girl laid which egg? Speckled Sussex Gold laced Wyandotte Bielefelder I saw the second two girls in the nest box today but I...

Who is a good sketch artist? 😝 I want to turn this into a new coop. My thoughts are putting 4 nest boxes on the back side. Wrapping the bottom and right side with chicken wire or good paneling to keep predators out. Making a ramp from the small side door on the right for them to get in and out...

Hello, I have been out of the chicken game for awhile. Last Saturday we picked up 6 beautiful hens. I just wanted to introduce them. :) They are doing great and we already have been getting one egg daily since Sunday which I am pleasantly surprised by. I’m already addicted and wanting to add...

Hello, Just getting back in the chicken game. Someone on a fb group is selling these as buff Orpington. When trying to google how to tell the difference between a rooster and a hen I don’t see any black on the buffs in the google pictures. Could these be a cross?

He called them red layers. Are they Rhode Island reds?

Hello We brought home some year old chickens yesterday and one is not wanting to walk. We sorta rescued them (which I'm guessing was a bad idea) they were in very cramped pens. What can I do for her? I am thinking I may even have to syringe some water in her mouth because it doesn't look like...

Forgetful me forgot my eggs on top of the chicken run from night before last so they were in the sun and heat in the morning yesterday. Will they still be ok to eat?

My chickens are not laying very well. We have 4. I usually get 1-2 eggs per day. We've had chickens the last three summers and I've never had a batch be this bad about laying. Any ideas? Thank you.

What is better to feed laying hens? Layer crumbles or layer pellets? What brand do most of you like to use? They are red hens, really not sure of the breed. Thank you!

Would grass clippings work in a chicken coop for bedding rather than wood shavings?

My fiancé and I have three red chickens. That lay brown eggs. we have no idea what breed they are. Would anybody be able to take a guess if I posted a picture?

Hello new here. My fiancé and I purchased 5 laying hens a week ago. Never had chickens before so this is a start of something new.
