    Hen dropping egg where ever along with soft shell and egg white

    1. I will watch to see who it is. 2. Pay attention to the pecking order. Nasty little order.... 3. The feeder is available 24/7 and they are in and out of the coop all day. 4. I feed corn and sunflower seed in addition to laying crumbles, kitchen waste including their shells. Thanks again!

Plus, I am supposed to then use a different wormer 10 -14 days later...

    Egg Bound

    Thank you both. I will keep watching her. Of course she is my favorite. The orps are different personalities. My other dominiques were killed by dogs. (one dog jumped the fence and the other dug under.)

    Egg Bound

    She spends the time on the nest it would take to lay and doesn't lay. It is after this she seems to frantically look for a place to lay, vocalizing the whole time. Yesterday she threw herself sideways on some warm compost. It is different behavior. She also pants. She does not scratch for...
