    We have 7 guinea fowl, almost positive there are three hens as that's approximately how many eggs I get from them a day. For a while now, one light cream egg has been appearing very wrinkly and warped, still completely solid and hard. This morning I let everyone out of the coop and one of the...

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    So I put some eggs to hatch on the 4th. These were the last fertilized eggs from my rooster, and I was hoping to get some of his kids (we had to get rid of him because he was picking on one of our hens.) Everything seemed well, heartbeats and Development seemed to match. This was day 18. It is...

    Eggs got rained on, would they be safe to sell still or are they ruined?

    I'm not quite sure where to post this but I thought I'd try here. So, I just started doing a self-serve farm stand at the end of our driveway using the honesty system. Long story short I left some eggs out there overnight and we had a strong thunderstorm roll through and the wind blew the heavy...

    I have a maran cross, she’s always been small about 2.5kg and she’s 2 years old. Her condition… Her wattle is lovely and red, she’s currently sprightly and her eyes are clear. Her coat is black still with the blue when the sun catches it. She’s seems to be a very healthy girl. However here’s...

    Broody Guinea Fowl

    If I'm not especially interested in my guineas hatching their own eggs, is there any reason why I can't just chase a broody guinea off the nest and remove the eggs? Will she go back to the coop? I'm really more invested in keeping them alive then letting them reproduce.

    Sorry if this is dumb but I'm wondering if any educated chicken folks can tell me more about what breed my mutt chickens/Easter eggers are because when they were given to us we were only told they were Easter eggers. Also I was wondering if anyone could take an educated guess at who lays what...

    Entire flock stopped laying

    My entire flock of hens and runner ducks stopped laying eggs when we changed the coop around, and I was getting almost 2.5 cartons a day. I introduced a younger rooster and wondering that was the problem. I’ve given them some gut health medicine, cleaned all the waters, fresh bedding laid. So...

    One hen laying weird eggs?

    We have Brahma chickens, 2 sets and ages of hens. Our older hen (only 2 years old though!) has been laying less frequently and getting these bigger, paler and slightly misshapen eggs. What is happening? Shells aren't fragile or anything. She has always been a loud layer, regardless of what her...
