    Rubber (shell-less) egg?

    I have 12 hens that were born in April and have been laying 8 to 10 eggs every day since September. I found an egg this morning that didn’t have a shell and was laid up on the roosting board instead of in the nesting boxes. I freely offer oyster shells for calcium in addition to their...

    Sapphire Gem egg spots and deformity.

    My sapphire gem pullet is just shy of 7 months old and has been laying for about a month. I have two questions: 1) Her eggs have been spotted the entire time. I was reading on this website that spots are a sign of a health problem. Do any other sapphire gem owners have spotted eggs? Or are...

    Bumpy/Weird Eggs & Poop below Vent

    Not sure what breed this girl is, but she’s almost 7 months old & we’ve raised her from a chick since we got her at the local farm store. When she began laying eggs in August, they were normal, hard shelled, and regular appearance. They started out smaller & gradually grew larger, as expected...

    Hey guys, This is my first post and I have a question/concern with one of my hens. She has had an issue of laying a soft egg that doesn't fully come out twice now. Meaning the soft shell(which is squishy, you can move/mold it without it cracking) gets stuck and hangs out of her vent? Has...

    No shell...?

    Hello! We have a hen who just started laying 4 days ago. So far, she has laid 2 eggs. Today I noticed her in the nesting boxes and knew she was laying. I came back outside half an hour later and checked the nesting box. There was no egg, but the floor was wet. It looked like gooey fluid. Like an...

    Pekin laid her first egg, I have questions.

    I have two Pekin ducks. They are about 5 months old. Today I went to change their water and feed them and I found that one of them had laid an egg but it was broken in half. Is this normal for them to break their first egg. Could it have been the other duck that broke it?

    Very Tiny Egg?

    I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I found this tiny thing in with my hen's daily eggs! I've got no idea who laid it, but it's definitely amusing to look at. We've had soft shelled eggs with tubes coming off the top, soft shelled eggs, double yolkers- the works. But never an egg this...

But was just a wad of “something”. Anyway...my chickens are still on grower as they just turned 18 weeks and I only have 2 of...

    Hen lays on coop floor some mornings

    One hen, I'm not sure who, will lay an egg from the roost. Obviously then falls and gets smashed, usually none of them pay attention to it and I clean it up. But at 5:55am it was still dark. By time I could get out to open the coop it was 6:30. They went it at 9pm last night. This just started...

    Egg is cracked , nothing happening?

    My chickens abandoned this egg and I've been raising it via heating pad. Yesterday it has been showing signs of living and hatching , but today I uncovered it and it's been like this. No one has hit or put anything on it. Is it still alive? Is it okay? Will the rest come out soon? It sort of smells.
