    White Leghorn Struggling To Lay, Only Laying Soft Shelled Eggs

    I didn’t take a photo. She’s just about 3 1/2 years old. My guess is a deficiency and infection.

    Soft shell/ white discharge

    The discharge is before, during and after. It’s strange because this only occurs of the day she lays. I don’t have photos but it’s identical to last year’s issue. It was Salpingitis. With her age she now lays once every other day or two.

    White Leghorn Struggling To Lay, Only Laying Soft Shelled Eggs

    We’re dealing with the exact same issue. Same breed and close to the same age. The soft eggs are a recent occurrence. The discharge sounds like a reproductive tract infection. The vet gave us amoxicillin and it cleared up in a couple days. We may be taking her back in for the same issue again...

    Soft shell/ white discharge

    Please help, our White Leghorn (3.5 years old) has laid two eggs without a hard shell (membrane and yolk only). She seems strained when she has to lay. Epsom salt bath gets it moving and she’s back to normal as soon as the egg “passes”. White discharge we think is an infection, been giving her...

    What would you say are the BEST tempered, GOOD laying, NICE looking hens?

    Our foster chick/ leghorn (foster that never left) is quite friendly and affectionate (in her own way). We had her as a chick and became used to being handled by people. As far as laying? She’s a beast!!!

    Has my Leghorn retired?

    I’d welcome feedback… Our 2.5 year old white leghorn laid a “shell-less” egg last Monday. No production all week and another “shell-less”” egg today (progress?). Is the party over? She’s happy, seemingly healthy, energetic and loves to eat. Her diet is Layena and she gets plenty of scraps...

    Shell-less egg

    She’s about 2 1/2 years old. She’s been dropping a few feathers but not completely molting. It’s not really the shell-less egg that surprised me, it’s finding a second egg within 12 hours

    Shell-less egg

    Her diet is layer crumbles and plenty of fruits/ veggies. She’s about 2 1/2 years old, laying for just under 2. It’s not so much the shell-less egg, it’s that I found a second egg within 12 hours.

    What WON'T your chickens eat?

    Our Leghorn loves red wine. Maybe pair the fruit with a nice California (best wine in the world) red?

    Baby chick got something stuck under it's vent

    Don’t try to remove it. Our chick had the same issue. It will fall off. I would isolate the bird or keep it under direct supervision with the others. They will peck it and as a result will end up killing the chick.
