    Weird eggs!

    Hi All! I have been getting some funky looking eggs lately. One of them is kind of bumpy which I thought indicated a need for more calcium but they have oyster shells and the other is just an odd shape. Any ideas? Pictures attached!

    Stopped laying?

    They don't look like it. In particular (the only one I can tell for sure) is my leghorn, she would give me 6 eggs a week and she is the only one that lays a white egg so I know it is hers but I haven't had one since last Thursday.

    They are not in a run, they free range. I do have a run though maybe if I close them in for a day or two I can see if that makes a difference.

We have had a couple of hot days. By hot I mean 90's but that is after a few weeks of 60s and 70s. I am in upstate NY...

    Stopped laying?

    Hi All! My flocks egg production has gone way down and I can't figure out why? Some of my hens seemed to just stop laying all together. Any ideas? Thanks!!

    Grit and or Oyster Shells?

    Hi All! I have had a few egg shells look a bit thin lately so I am thinking my ladies might need a bit of a calcium boost. I am wondering how you all give oyster shells, mix it in their feed or in a bowl separate? Same with grit-how do you guys give it to them? Thanks!!

    5mL of this mixed with a gallon of water was what was recommended to me. I got it at TSC

    I separated her from the others and gave her Duramycin 5mL per gallon of water for 10 days

    Is something wrong?

    Yes it does look swollen to me. It is not bruised looking anymore though, I will take an updated picture when I get home today
