    Concerns with New Layer

    Thank you so much for the link to that article! Mally, has meat spots too, but it's more than any I've ever seen. It's worrisome whenever a bird has so many issues surrounding her eggs. I am so happy to read this update on Opal! She sure is a beautiful girl. Here's hoping this continues and...

    Concerns with New Layer

    It'd be a really good idea to get some Calcium Citrate + Vit D3 to have available. Since you have some already laying, I'm guessing you have oyster shell (or crushed egg shell) available to them to use as needed. If you discover which one is laying these soft shelled eggs, it wouldn't hurt to...
