Why do some of your brown chicken eggs have blood on the shell?

Blood on the outside of a chicken egg is not uncommon. Small blood vessels can rupture within the oviduct of the hen as she produces and lays an egg. The egg can pickup these blood spots and they dry once the egg laid. You can wash these off with a small amount of warm water and a cloth even after they have dried onto the shell.

How would maggots get into a solid chicken egg that was left out in the sun?
They can't. As long as the shell is intact, fly eggs (maggots) cannot get into the interior of the egg. If there is a break or small hole in the shell, then it would be possible. In some cuisine, duck eggs are buried and allowed to ferment for a time and then served to people. They are safe to eat as long as the shell is unbroken.
Are the eggs bad when they get dark yellow?
The color of an egg yolk is determined by a chicken's diet. Store bought eggs from caged birds that do not get any access to green vegetation and little to no sunlight will be a pale color. Free ranged chickens that eat grass, leaves, bugs and are out in the daylight will lay eggs with much darker yellow to almost orange yolks.
How many chickens can live in one chicken house on average how many can die in one day?
Well it depends on how big your chicken house is, and if the house is heated. chickens do not require alot of space, but depending on what you want your chickens for, the happier the chicken, the more the eggs. chickens will not lay eggs when they are stressed. and as far as how many can die in a day, that's completely out of anyones hands. they could all die in one night. do keep in mind though you should expect some deaths, average of about 1 a week. hope this answers your questions. I used to raise chickens, so if you need anymore information, please feel free to message me. Chev_Camaro_94 [morpheus@iowatelecom.net]
What is the best way to help chicken hatch eggs in cold weather?
Hatching or laying. It makes a difference. Hatching eggs is not recommended during the winter months as it takes a few months for the newly hatched chicks to develop feathers. If you have no choice then make sure the brood hen has them in a warm, sheltered spot where she and the chicks are out of the elements of wind, rain, snow and cold. If you meant laying eggs then keep the lights on in the chicken coop. Hens need 14 hours of light to maintain egg production...this is natures way of making sure the hen does not brood a clutch of eggs during the harsh winter months. Artificial light has changed natures plans and hens can go broody all year long. Maintain a heated area for the hen to keep her chicks alive if she has gone broody.
