    Puffed feathers. Egg bound?

    Hi all, My 2 year old bantam australorp went broody 12 months ago. She hasnt laid an egg since then. The last few days shes got puffed feathers. Is this eggbound? How do I give her a bath safely?

    Do broody hens eat bad/dead eggs?

    Ive had the worst luck. Another two eggs died & i took them out last night at day 14. One of the eggs had started to ooze a foul liquid. Broody had two left with her last night.. i just checked this morning and only one left. I could hear crunching in her mouth so she ate one of the eggs. Now...

    Do broody hens eat bad/dead eggs?

    Thanks for the reply. I checked today & she still had 4 eggs. I don't have high hopes for them though. I noticed today another had a crack and I smelled another one and it had the faintest bad smell 😒 she's been excellent and has stayed with them so maybe just a bad batch of thin shelled eggs.

    Me again! I've noticed another egg has a crack in it. Do I need to seal it or leave it?

    Do broody hens eat bad/dead eggs?

    Your hen is gorgeous. What is she? My broody has hatched eggs before with no issues. Loves being broody & tending to chick's. If she broke the egg it would have been accidental.. but one of them was super cracked (in those pictures I uploaded here) so it could have been that one. Or, she did it...

    Does anyone know this- do mother broody hens eat the dead eggs to get rid of them?

    Do broody hens eat bad/dead eggs?

    Broody was sitting on 5 eggs. There are now 4 and a tiny amount of fowl smelling goo. I can't see any left over shell. Do broody hens know if eggs are bad and eat them to get rid of them? Otherwise I have no idea where the 5th egg went. She was fully enclosed all day.

    In about 12 days. One of the eggs she's sitting on definitely has veins but i was concerned about the two in rhe pictures

    She has 3 others but one she pushes aside. Do these look like they were fertile but stopped developing?
