Hi -
One of my hens has been laying yolks and whites. Its been cold here with winter and snow, her laying slowed down. But then I noticed what looked like someone had literally cracked an egg on my porch. I don't have a picture at the moment, one of animals cleans it up before I can get to it. She had some soft shell eggs inbetween, but otherwise its been the yolk and white now. This has been going on for a couple weeks, the first time it happened I thought an actual egg got cracked and another animal took the shell or something so I brushed it off, she also has a habit of finding new places to lay her eggs in the shed so sometimes it takes me a bit to find her new spot. She has a bit of yolk on her butt feathers, otherwise shes acting completely fine, and her vent looks fine. I took some advice to switch from layer feed to all flock feed with a bowl of oyster shells available, I just started this two days ago. I've read various things - trying cinnamon and oregano tea, picking up an antibiotic, giving calcium and d3 tablet... I'm looking for advice on what to try please!
