Thanks but as these are our first chickens we really weren't sure. They do rest in the coop often and are picky of when they want to be outside etc. A lesson learned I guess but it all happened so fast. They are also too skittish to handle, so that was a problem aswell.
That's what I'm thinking! I found this video and it sort of resembles what I found minus the yolk - I'm not too interested in disecting it lol but I hope this all it is. Any idea how I can avoid this? Maybe adding something to their diet?
Here's the video:
My young hens (less than a year old) were brought to us and were happy and healthy for a solid few months and then one fell ill. Every morning I go to the coop to collect the eggs and top up food/water if need be. Here's a short play out of what happened.
