Hi my black sex link is 1 1/2 year old and has been laying an egg that has a sticky shell. I'm wondering if this is ok or if it's signs of something major? Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thank you!

Beautiful girls :)

Congrats!!

Mrs. Roo and her 5 babies :)

I would wait and see how she handles it. Mine although were given at the same time had a few days (5) difference. I almost tossed them but some people on this thread said just wait and let her decide. Move the food and water close to her so the chicks can get to it. Mine did great. She got off...

Also thank you for the links very helpful :)

I have read DE and it doesn't seem 100% effective. So my question is then what have you guys used and had best results for deworming?

Did you let her keep the eggs she was laying? Or other eggs that other chickens were laying in her nest? This can cause a very staggered hatch.

By the pictures I say you have 2 beautiful pullets :)

I'm very new (only have 3 broodies) my first one wouldn't let her move her until she was really into it about 1 week in. Then she let me move her no problem at dark. I hadn't given her the fertile eggs before I had her moved tho. When I did try the first 2 times she wouldn't have it and went...

45! Wow I amazed by 3 hahaha! I've move my broodies once I decide they are really broody in their own pen. I have a question about when to let the broody and her chicks out with the other chickens? This will be when I'm close by doing chores so I can step in if needed.

Love it all the babies with their mommas :)

I think I have another broody one in my OEGB pen?! Does this normally happen they all start going broody around the same time? This is so much fun and sooo much easier then an incubator!

Hmm I think I need a few for "watchdogs" status

Oh my cuteness!!!! What are they!?!?

I'm sorry about you roo :( I hope you get a chick from him.

Not sure what exactly. She is a mix but definitely has silky in her :)
