Hatching
I need some advice please!
A little background info- I have six hens of varying breeds and no roosters. All are healthy and have had no issues. Except for...
I have a 1 1/2 year old Easter egger who hasn't given me an egg in six months+. Before that she would lay 1 or 2 Huge eggs a week that would break on the way out. She will occasionally look very lethargic and uncomfortable and I assume another big egg is on the way and after a day or so she's back to normal. Although one time there was an egg that got stuck and I did have to help extract it. I'm worried that one of these days she's going to get egg-bound and die. What can I do to have her lay smaller eggs? She has access to a standard laying pellet, oyster shell and water all day and is given occasional treats such as scratch, mealworms, veggies etc. I'm planning on giving her a warm bath soak tomorrow to see if it helps this time around but I need a long term solution. What can I do?!?!
Thanks so much and please help!
