    Rubbery soft shelled eggs and then nothing...

    I feed them Layena crumbles. She gets watermelon, cracked corn, scrambled eggs, mung beans, etc. She also gets free range of our entire backyard.

    egg bound???

    I may also have an eggbound hen...I did put her in a warm bath. Hopefully, that will get things moving. She just doesn't act right. Here feathers on her rump are very wet and stuck together from the water bath and I can see her skin is red. Not sure what else to do for her...

    Thanks for the info. I hate to give up on her. She is so pretty. She is not as friendly as Shirley but we still loveher. I do have another question...she lays down in the grass all the time. She looks like a laying hen when you see her from the front. Do roosters lay in the grass with...
