Two days of not collecting eggs
Our take
Two days without collecting eggs can lead to quite the surprise! Just check out this nesting box—it’s brimming with cluck-tastic treasures! But wait, that's not all; my feathered friends have a knack for laying in random spots around the yard, making egg hunts an everyday adventure. With every egg I find, I can’t help but dream of adding a splash of color to my egg basket. Perhaps it’s time to consider some lively white leghorns or those delightful Easter Eggers! Imagine the joy of discovering pastel-hued eggs nestled among the usual brown and beige. If you’ve ever had a similar experience, let’s share our quirky egg-collecting tales and embrace the delightful madness of chicken keeping together!
 | this is just one of my nesting boxes after 2 days of not collecting, they also have a spot beside the house that they like to go in and a couple of other random spots they will occasionally lay eggs in, so this isn't even all of them this is just this specific nesting box, although I feel like I need to get some sort of chicken that lays something besides brown and beige, maybe some white leghorns and some Easter Eggers LOL [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]

- 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]
