    Parasites or intestinal shedding?

    Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep extra tabs on her and see how things turn out. I could give her antibiotics but like you said it may not help, she had an egg problem last year with soft/shell less eggs and I tried antibiotics, extra calcium and nothing helped. I was hoping once she molted and...
