    Is buff Orpington ok eating same layer food as silkie?

    That was interesting article, wish I had a rooster to observe. My POL isn’t well today and her bottom has egg remains so presuming she’s layed her 3rd ever soft egg but worrying some may be stuck in her, will a bath help? And if it’s soft will she be fine?
