thanks for the advice, we have given her calcium, she seems fine other than the soft eggs and being a bit of a loner. will keep an eye on her.

Hi, I am writing this on behalf of my dad, he has 6 chickens, all just coming into lay. The Maran started laying about 3 weeks ago but only lays soft eggs, they have plenty of grit and oyster shell, + ground up egg shells now and then. She was the dominant hen until her laying issues started...

Hi, I have just introduced a new hen, we originally had 4 chucks which were purchased from a farmer as End of lay. Over the years they have got old or ill and died off, we were left with 1 Rhode Island red. She seemed really lonely and bored so after seeing her like this for a few weeks we...
