The oystershell will help her pass the eggs for sure! If its very hot where you are, this could be the reason! I think when this happened to mine, it was when the weather changed here in Atlanta. If its the same for you, offer cool water several times a day and maybe a fan in the coop at night...
From the faces I see here in this photo, they're all female. None of them are Cream Legbars though... a legbar cross, definitely. The brown one in the back looks larger than the others but it could just be the photo. It's the only one I'd be suspicious of.
I have a legbar that does this... same age. When it happens, she drops 2 softshell eggs within hours of each other. She looks horribly uncomfortable when it happens. I haven't figured out what triggers it. All her needs are met... safe, excellent nutrition, calcium, clean water, minimal stress...
Thanks! In my head I know that but since they're sold as a "Lakeshore" I was quick to call it a breed. I know there can never be a SOP for them. Do you know what they're using as the crosses? I know they're legbar but I'm curious what other breeds they're using. I haven't been able to get or...
Greetings, Peeps!
New to the breed but they're looking super spiffy at 5 weeks! Can you help me out with your guesses? 😁 Tell me what we got here! TIA!
Curious... do your legbars faces and combs turn lighter and deeper red based on their mood? I have one girl that when I bring a treat to the coop or if she is mad at another hen or if she wants to be picked up, her face/comb get bright bright bright red! The other legbar, Henrietta, not so much...
