We're very new at this. Raised chickens since January. 14 hens and 3 roosters
3 days ago, we found one of our California whites bloody on her backside with a bulge sticking out. We isolated her and kept her in the dark extra time trying to slow down her egg laying. I have read this is what I should do. They said it takes two weeks to show egg production.
Either way, the bleeding seems to have stopped and she's laid two huge green eggs. It's very strange that she is now laying green eggs rather than white. Not sure what to make it this.
She doesn't seem to have lost weight but she is the smallest of our 4 California whites.
She doesn't seem to be in pain but I don't wanna put her back with the others just yet.
Would a warm Epsom salts bath help this chicken out? If like to keep her if I can.
