Can rhode island chickens lay eggs without a rooster?

Yes All chickens will lay eggs without the need for a rooster. All a rooster does is fetilize the eggs, it does not induce the hen to lay an egg, she will do this anyway.


You found small red eggs in your mulch Can it be spider eggs?

It is unlikely that the small red eggs are spider eggs. Spider eggs are typically white or light in color and are usually found in silk sacs rather than in mulch. It is more probable that the red eggs belong to a different type of insect or arachnid species.


What color ear lobes do roosters have?

The color of the earlobes is a general indication of the color of the eggs. A hen with red lobes usually will lay brown eggs. The exception to this would be the Easter Egger, Ameraucana, and Araucana breeds. They usually have red lobes but will lay eggs in colors ranging from khaki green (army eggs), sky blue, pink tinted, to the occasional lavender tinted beauty. This is all due to Genetics. The shell color is a result of pigments that are secreted by the hen and deposited on the eggshell's outer layers during formation in the chicken's oviduct. Brown eggs are from protoporphyrin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin. Blue and green hues are caused by the pigment oocyanin, a by-product of bile formation.
