Hurray! My Campine laid her first egg today. NOT in the approved nesting area but a pretty white egg in a scratched dirt nest. She still has loose stool. I'm having trouble getting a "sample". But maybe this is all much to do about nothing. I hope.
Congratulations on the egg!
If you are having trouble getting a poop sample, separate her for an hour or so. Place her in a kennel or dog crate lined with rubber shelf liner (so she can keep her footing). Easy way to collect poop and know it's hers. Chickens poop a lot so it shouldn't take long to get one.
