Thanks. Updated. Going on second winter with chickens. Their first molt this fall. Used supplemental lighting when daylight dropped to about 11 hours/day last year, set on timer. Same this year....so recently started. Up until now, been getting an egg a day from each with only two soft eggs...

Yes, I've been using it. Thinking it could be part of the problem.

I'm watching both of them closely. They're eating and drinking. No signs of weakness, discoloration of combs, waddles or feet, no swelling.

Thank each of you for responding. I did check and there are still feathers coming in for both chickens. I've been getting one good egg a day. While I thought the soft egg was from just one hen, they might both be laying soft eggs. I added Nutri-Drench to their water thinking they might need...

My two Isa Browns are 1 1/2 years old. Good layers. For the last three nights one has laid a soft egg. The latest had no shell. I added probiotics to the feed and hand fed oyster shells to her. She is eating and drinking.They get scrambled eggs with shells once a week, oyster shells always...

I've been impressed with my girls. It is worth the wait. You'll love those eggs!

2 girls!

One egg every day quickly became two every day! And, right on time at about 18 weeks. The photo shows a week and a half of eggs. My ladies squawk to announce their gifts. Happy and grateful.

Thank you all. I think I've got new chick mom worries! Your help is appreciated and I'll watch them. Feeling much calmer.

Here's another picture. First one is the girl I'm concerned about. The second is my other chick. Could it be they are developing at different rates?

Thank you so much! I appreciate your advice. ☺️

She's 9 weeks old. Smooth red skin, but not always red! Both sides. Am I being a nervous new owner? So much to learn! Arash would look nastier, right? I appreciate your help. 🐣

Thank you for your reply. It is smooth and looks more like exposed skin. My other chic doesn't have it. Could it be just starting to show? New owner here!

One of my new chicks has bare skin behind her ears. She doesn't seem bothered, is eating. My other chick is fine. Any ideas as to what this might be? I've applied Banixx thinking it is a rash. Advice welcome! Thanks.

I'm new to having chickens and look forward to connecting and learning from others!
