    Egg

    Hello :) I have four hens (pharaoh coturnix) who I believe are all laying regularly now. I've noticed dramatic differences in egg colouration and texture - the ones with an almost solid brown covering are a bit rougher and less shiny that the speckled eggs. I have been assuming this is just...

    Quail that lays peanut shaped eggs

    The left two eggs are laid by the same chicken. She lays these odd shaped eggs every day. The right one is one of the regular shaped eggs in the same aviary. Just a quirk or what do you guys think? It’s been months since she started laying and they are always similar

    unfertilized eggs

    Hi folks, does anyone have any idea why eggs from a 6 year old Emerald Spalding hen were laid unfertilized? I only added them to my group about a year ago, with 2 roosters and another 3 hens. In the same aviary I have a 2 year old peach hen with the same problem, she is still young so I can...

    Dead egg?

    All the rest have hatched while we were on vacation )we had someone watching them.) except this one. We figured it’d hatch out by now we collected these all about the same time. But to me it kinda looks like it stoped growing but I’m not too sure how to tell and the dark kinda blood spot on...

    Paper-like & wrinkly coating on eggshell

    One of my girls laid an egg and it’s the oddest one I’ve gotten. The egg itself seems totally normal in the spots I can see the underlying eggshell. On top is a sort of coating - it’s dried & wrinkly and feels sort of like if someone coated the egg in wet paper and let it dry. This egg took a...

    Are the eggs going to hatch?

    I have a hen ( Greasy) and this is her first time hatching any babies. She's approximately 3-4 days away from hatching the eggs but the only problem I just found out is that she doesn't have any hay under her eggs. I don't know if this will affect the egg hatching or will prevent them from...

    Serial Perch Bomber - Any Suggestions?

    I have a 6 year old hen who seems to be making a habit out of perch bombing her eggs this year. Three have bit the dust so far. She's never had a perch bomb other than her first year laying, so I'm not sure why she has decided to go rogue now. - She has a grass privacy screen up against one...

    Half dark half light

    I have an egg that’s half and half. When I move it a small amount moves. Like fluid the size of my pinky but the black blob is almost stuck. Is this a dud?

    (EMERGENCY) Hen with broken egg inside body

    I noticed she was lethargic and had a penguin stance. When I picked her up I immediately saw clear egg yolk-mucus goop out of her vent, which looked enlarged. She was quickly declining so I soaked her in epsom salt and tried to feel around for an egg with a lubricated gloved finger. I couldn't...
