I have a cream legbar about 10months old and she has laid nice blue eggs until a month ago. Her last egg's shell was so thin it cracked then she stopped laying. She laid a shellless egg today. She's on quality layer feed and has free access to oyster shells. Any ideas what could be happening...

Didn't eat it, just too much blood.

Attached is a photo of an egg my son cracked this morning. I know about blood spots but I've never seen this. What could cause this. Lily is 6 months old and has been laying for about a week. I'd appreciate any information you could give.

Ok, thank you!

Purina's layena crumbles as the base plus I mix in probiotics, flax seed and some herbs.

I've never heard of that but sound worth trying. Do I just crushe the shells finer and stir in cooked or raw oatmeal with milk?

I have a production red hen I got from a lady last February. She has had issues laying soft shelled or shelless eggs on a regular basis. I've had her checked by a vet last March and she was wormed then. Her eggs improved though the shells were thin. She started doing it again in August and...

Your photo could have be taken at my place. My Wyandotte looks just like yours and mine is 7 weeks old. She strong and able to flight short distances. She also very sweet. I'm guessing she a late bloomer. Love your picture, they look great.:)

If you ferment mediated chick started will it kill the medication?

I live in northern Alabama near the Tennessee line. I winterized the coop but chose not to use artificial heat. I had two hens however a hawk killed one this past week. We have been swamped with rain the past two weeks causing the ground to be saturated which has caused the sand in the coop to...

Malformed egg is a possibility because there was a large amount of bright yellow liquid around it. Any idea of why this happened?

I wormed my chickens 2 days ago and found this in the poop this morning. What the heck is that? It has to be as big as my hens stomach.

I just found worms in my leghorns poop. GROSS! Here's my question, I have 3 hens. I know for sure the RIR was tested by a vet 3 weeks ago and she was parasite free. I'm planning on treating the 2 other hens, do I need to treat the RIR? I haven't seen anything in her poop. They all have their...

I'm so sorry. I've lost 2 and know the saddness that accompanies it.

I've got the same thing happening with my white leghorn hen. She about 7 months old and she lays every day. I noticed it 2 days ago when I went out to shut them in for the night. The next morning it was gone. Then last night it was back and it was still there this morning however by late...

Thank you for your help. I got a better look at it today. The feathers almost look like they've been cut in two. I didn't see any lice and I looked the other night and didn't see mites. Both hens came from a farm that had roosters and seeing that they both have identical patches I'm leaning...

Well, let's see if this works.

Here's a better picture. There's nothing missing on the neck.

I just got 2 hens from a local girl. She brought them to me yesterday. I noticed that their feathers near their tail were looking thin. I asked if that was rooster damage but she said no she just thinks they're ruffled from traveling. I did give them a quick look over and didn't see signs of...

Unfortunately I don't know. A stray dog got her one afternoon. I was so upset! My other two hen got away thought, thank goodness.
