New Waterer & Mystery Eggs

Nipple Waterer
Outside the snow keeps coming down and the new coop has seemed to have been keeping them warm enough. I recently got a new waterer.  I noticed that my tub would be getting quite dirty and decided to try out the nipple watering system.  I find that it works great my birds water needs seem to be met and I believe that it is much healthier for them to drink.  I also noticed that it keeps there bedding much dry which is also something I enjoy about them.

Here is a of pictures of two  "Mystery eggs"...

Right: Egg with a Whole in it

Why u call them mystery egg? The big one for me is less mysterious than the small one. could be the big one is from the females even though they're quite young or doesn't have any males to breed with. but for the small one, indeed it is a mystery, but it's not a mystery when you have chickens for long time. In my place Malaysia, the smaller egg is the egg of rooster. yep, a male chicken. They lay eggs but very rare, because of this rare event, the male eggs can reach up to 500USD and more for each. They're are use in traditional medicine ceremony.
