One of our hens, I'm thinking one of the australorps, put out a gigantic egg today. I've never seen a chicken egg this large or this heavy. Is this a sign that one of my hens is ill? Is it normal to lay an egg of this size?
Yes quite a bit of pus. She's acting normal (again I'm assuming it's my skinny americauna), but I seperated her and gave her an antibiotic (Tylan powder--all I have until I can get to the vet)
So this seems to be bad news for the hen. I have one bird who has been losing feathers, I thought molting but she has gotten quite thin. I wonder if it's her. Darn!
