1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Silkie hatched in March. Becoming quickly emaciated.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
I originally found her 2 weeks ago, lost and disoriented instead of in the coop with the rest...
I know this is a topic that is addressed over and over-so I apologize.
I have 1 out of 10 hens that has been laying soft shelled eggs for MONTHS now-I think it started last fall. She drops eggs semi regularly from her roost, and will also set in a nesting box and not produce an egg. I know...
One of my red star hens has started laying funny looking eggs-they are the normal rich color, but it's like they are coated with a thin whitish layer or something. Today's egg was a bit smaller too.
Yesterday I flung the egg over my fence, but today I kept it.
Thoughts?
