    Balloon butt after hen quit laying, EYP?

Last night I went to close up the coop and tuck them in for the night and she was curled up in the nesting box. Tried to see if she'd roost and she fell, went back to the box, so I...

    Balloon butt after hen quit laying, EYP?

    I have those, I'll try it! Altho this crew is odd, they won't go near scrambled, but if I mash up still-warm hardboiled, shell and all, they go to town on it. Thank you for the tip!

    Balloon butt after hen quit laying, EYP?

    Venus is a guesstimated 2.5y/o australorp, 3 flockmates - 2 leghorns, Magnolia & Sarge, and another 'lorp, Elvira. She's not laying, suspect a repro issue that has led to EYP - swollen, bruised-looking belly has drained off 3x, different fluid every time. Venus has always been broody and plucks...
