Thanks for your info. Unfortunately she didn’t get any better this week and we lost her. Checking her after, it looks like it was ovarian cancer. Sad day here today. She was a sweet little hen. RIP Reba.

Also here are a couple of pics (gross) of the poop I am worried about. Hopefully you can see what I mean. The newspaper makes it a little difficult. It’s runny. Usually more watery than this shows (again newspaper is absorbing it) and a few of them (Legbar) have messy bums.

Thanks for your reply! It was rubbery. I did poke it open and it was just thick egg white stuff. No yolk. She was my best laying hen up until a couple weeks ago. She layed pretty much every day, even through the winter. I don’t mind if she slows down or even stops, I just want her to be ok...

Hello I have a 2yr old RIR hen. She has not been feeling well lately. Stays alone. Feathers are a little puffed up. She is eating and drinking ok though. Yesterday she laid this in the nest box. It was rubbery. I have seen a few other rubbery eggs over the years but never one with blood like...

Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I have a small flock of 20 chickens (Marans, Ameraucana, Legbar, Wyandotte) in Central Quebec and I am looking forward to expanding my chicken family. I am very happy to be able to have access to so much information from you all. Thanks in advance! :)
