First Egg of the Season
Our take
Cluck-tastic news from the coop! My fabulous flock of Americanas, usually on a laying hiatus from March to September, has surprised me with an early start to egg-laying this year! I initially thought the first egg was just a fluke, but here we are—a week later, and the girls are still at it! And if you’re wondering about that green tint in the photo, blame it on the charming green roof of their coop. Who knew our feathered friends could be so egg-citing? 🥚💚
| | My girls usually only lay March - September. They are Americanas and I live in a mild climate. Is such a long break unusual? This year they started early. The first one I thought was a fluke, but they’ve kept it up for a week. BTW, the green tint of the photo is because of the green corrugated roof on the coop. [link] [comments] |

- my first weird egg!i’m not super worried about it because i’m pretty sure i know what’s going on. poor donna was broody for over two months and has been dropping eggs in unexpected places (like out in the run) the last three days like she just couldn’t hold them in. so i’ve sorta been expecting a fairy egg but didn’t expect it to be soft too! i’ve just switched everyone to all flock feed (new chicks) with oyster shells available, so her calcium intake has changed but she knows where to get more. maybe there’s something more i could be doing? the whole gang has just moved into a new coop but donna has laid eggs in the new nesting boxes a couple times so i think she likes it in there alright. we still have the old coop open too but no one seems interested. idk suggestions welcomed (re: the weird laying locations and shell quality) but she’ll hopefully work it out herself! submitted by /u/mensfrightsactivists [link] [comments]
- Hen layed small squishy white eggI know this happens every once in a while. Hasn’t happened lately with any of my other chickens so I’m not concerned. Just thought it was kind of cool! Bonus pictures of pretty girls. They are VERY excited to be able to scratch around in the yard again after a long, snowy winter! submitted by /u/No-Handle-5507 [link] [comments]
