I had written about my wheezing hen. Presently she's not improving with her wheezing despite giving her good vitamins, electrolytes and probiotics. She's still eating well and active. But now she's developed this thing where out of the blue she'll tuck her head towards her stomach and walk...
Yes, this did help. I bought vitamins and probiotics today. If she doesn't fight this off, then she might be going to the vets. I'd hate to put down a chicken who runs around and acts normal, other than her wheezing!!!

One of my hens lays an odd egg on a daily basis. It is super thin on one end and it breaks just picking it up. The rest of the egg is nomal except for about an inch on one end. My hens have access to oyster shells 24/7 and they are being fed good laying mesh. What could be causing this? Is...

This is the website I found when I was doing research a while back.....I too an internal layer, but it looked nothing like this! I was just trying to offer suggestions. But I agree....it...
