Could this be from the pullet?

Okay I think this was planned by hens! :eek:. Two of my hens laid at the crack of dawn this a.m.. You guessed it the eggs were cracked one exploded( not literally) but broke the pointy tip off, and the other one split down the side :hmm:bow. I think they know that I feed those back to them.

How long are eggs from fertilized ( rooster present) good for a broody hen to sit in. Reason I ask is I have a BA that goes broody twice a year and I have no roosters.
I gave a rooster and 2 hens to a friend last year. I could get fertile eggs quickly from them . Would those eggs be okay to...
Well in May I got 3 EE for my broody hen. That didn't work but I've always wanted colored eggs so I kept them . Got my first ever green egg from dear Phyllis. Thank you ladies for our eggs.
I wanted to start a thread for all the newbies to show them our favorite tool you got and how they're used for a buck or so. Everything is so expensive right now I thought it would be helpful for all of us.

Ok I have gone off the rail this year:
First had one hen die past year, so you can't get just one!?! So that turned into 2= ( which minimum is 4 -1 culled=3)

Another 4 (hoping they get me some Calif whites...

I did lose a hen this past year so I needed 1 replacement for her. Well you can't get just 1 so 1 turns into 2, then the minimum at store makes that 4 and there you...
We have feral cats that are getting too comfortable checking out my flock up close. I've caught them sitting on corner posts and using the chicken wire 2x4 supports as a "cat walk". We even saw them using chicken wire top of coop like a hammock! :wee
Okay now you've gone TOO FAR! This means...
Please help me!
I got this chick in good shape 3 days ago. I did pinch one of her feet between 2 objects but it's was not the bad foot. Please excuse the bad filming!

Is anyone else a sucker for chicken decor. Maybe I'm a collector at heart ( semi hoarder my kids would say) but I want to know if anyone else is :gig I've had most of these longer than I've had chickens. See I've always loved chickens ! It's like chicken math only cheaper is what I tell my...
I had a year old Speckled Sussex that I noticed looked pathetic. Pale comb, lost weight, no eggs, holding tail to side, lethargic, almost a yellow hue to her comb and eye area, wasn't eating and a dirtyish butt. I gave her butt a bath and noticed she was gurgling with breathing and didn't...
