Loving the herd life
I am SOOO glad I found this site. You guys are so understanding and gentle with help and suggestions. I would not even ASK this on the "other" site.
About a week ago, I began getting eggs that were smeared with poop. First couple days ignored it. By third day decided it may be poor husbandry on my part. Complete clean of coop and nest boxes with fresh pine shavings and hay in boxes. No poopy butts showing. Vents clean as far as my inexperience can tell. No watery poops, but a few of the golf ball sized ones that I understand is natural.
Any ideas?
Poop smeared beside "normal"
