Hoping all goes well for you tomorrow MJ. What an exciting day. Cant wait to see pictures of the progress. I love looking at coop builds so i am looking forward to following yours. I read yours on here BY Bob and was very impressed. I also love the ideas for expanding it. The dreaming and...

Welcome scrambles83. Good to see another Victorian chicken person on the thread. I have spent a lot of time in Geelong for work. I love it there.

Thanks everyone for the great info on baking the egg shells. I like the idea of popping them in when i have finished with the oven. Makes it sound easy. I will continue to give them a choice of shell grit and egg shells to make sure i have it well covered

Great idea, thanks for sharing. I like the idea of storing them in a jar and it will save some money on buying the grit.

Impressed with the kayaking mj. It does look beautiful and peaceful. Your chickens are very entertaining. I cant believe they are happy sitting on top of each other like that in a south australian summer!!! I think Janet is the smart one!!

Hi micstrachan, thanks for your post. Sorted it out by reducing household scraps and dosing water daily with calcium and D3. I am now back to only a weekly addition of calcium and she is doing very well. No more soft shell eggs for 2 weeks now. Zucchini is a great idea. They love it and i have...

An update on my soft shell eggs. The avian vet had no appointments left before Christmas but was amazing spending time with me on the phone and telling me what to do with no payment required. Since then I have not had another soft shell egg and all 4 ladies are now laying!! Such an exciting...

Thank you all for your response. I was getting worried so thank you for acknowledging that this is not normal. The calcium I have for the water has Vitamin D in it as well. I have investigated and the shell grit I use is equivalent to oyster shell. My task for today is to try and find a vet who...

Thanks rjohns, i will do this

Very cheerful!! Her normal bouncy, curious self

Sorry to hear you have such a busy week before Christmas. I am happy you are taking some goid time off inJanuary. Schnitzel was our second chicken to start laying and in about 12 eggs we only have had 2 with hard shells. I wasn't worried at first as she was just starting out but this number has...

We are all good here. I dont work on a friday and love spending the day in the yard with them!! 2 are laying now although one is giving a lot with soft shells. They are on a commercial layer pellet and shell grit. Any advice would be welcome. Do i need oyster shell grit rather than general shell...

I love Janet's patterning. It is just beautiful

What a great idea. Love the idea of buying such a great gift for a child in need. Hope you have a lovely anniversary dinner.

Thanks!! It has been very exciting eating our own eggs!!! I knew you would all celebrate with me!!! You get that chickeny excitement
