    Duck laying egg yolk and white with no shell or membrane

    My Cayuga ducks are almost 2 now and one of them has had some egg trouble before (laying soft eggs or eggs with just membranes) that was last year though and she’s been totally fine this year until today. The ducks get layer pellets and oyster shells so i think they’re getting good calcium. The...

    Weird Slow Neck Bobbing and Big Protruding Eyeballs

    We have a 4 month old Rouen/Swedish Blue duck who since the first day of hatch has done this weird thing with her neck. It’s a very slow, non stop up and down motion making her look like an animatronic robot duck as she also has unnaturally large protruding eyeballs. I’ve attached a video...

    Chicken has bright blue eyes. Possible marek’s? Help!

    Just got this picture from a friend who hatched some of my birds eggs and just as I was thinking that the eyes looked really pretty, I remembered that Marek’s can cause something that looks like this. The other chicks still have blue/green eyes but nothing like this. I’ve never seen eyes this...

    Sick or normal?

    My girl has a white spot that is next to her ear and above her waddle. It looks like it’s the same skin as the waddle and comb but I haven’t been able to find anything on it to make sure it’s normal. I’m unsure of the breed. She’s been acting fine but I’m just worried it’s something more serious...

    My Leilei laid Two First Eggs

    Not seeing this pop up on the Already Asked thing, and I'm not getting answers from people I follow, so here I am. My Leilei is a 5mo SilkiexBarbu Cross who I've confirmed laid 2 first eggs as opposed to 1. How I confirmed was I saw her poop and I thought her vent had prolapsed! I quickly...

    Egg song before an egg?

    My girls are 20weeks and 4 days and just last week I had at least one of them start laying but I think at least two now(light brahma and one of my rhode island reds). Both of their hips/bone structures were of a laying hen and wide enough and their wattles are super bright red. I heard one of...

    What does this mean?

    So my 5 month old silkie/polish cross started to make weird purring/growling sounds and won't move. It's been at least ten minutes. The chicks started to do it too. Should I be worried? Everything was fine before.

    Lack of Eggs - Stopped Laying or Hen is Eating ?

    4 hens - all just turning 2 years old. For the past 6 to 8 weeks the laying has basically stopped. My RR was laying 3 eggs per week and now is down to maybe 1 egg per week. One hen is laying super thin shelled eggs, maybe 1 or 2 per week. End of egg concaves because the shell is so thin. Oyster...

    King Quail Hen laying eggs again (and showing signs of going broody) while still caring for babies?

    So, it seems Speckles has gone crazy with the fact that adorable fuzzy things come out of the eggs if she sits on them long enough, as I am pretty sure she isn't meant to be laying eggs yet until after she chases the babies away when they are old enough! The babies are still fuzzy and just...
