Thanks AmyBella and everyone for their help. I got another egg today so hopefully we are out of the woods. I checked out the egg i got yesterday and the shell was pretty hard, not thin at all. I plan to keep up with the extra yogurt, milk, grit, fine ground oyster shells and crumbles every 2...

I finally got an egg from Sugar today. I was really thinking I was going to have to make her dinner. I'm glad it did not come to that. It took almost a week of supplementing with yogurt, milk, grit, fresh ground oyster shells and crumbles. To top it off I got an egg from all my layers. A...

Quote: Thanks Amy, very good link. I have been feeding Sugar and the other 3 a crumble, yogurt, milk, fine crushed oyster shells and grit mix once a day for the last 3 days. Sugar has not layied an egg since the last soft shell but she has alot of energy. I have them in the garden and they...

Well I called the vet and he said no need to bring her in. He said she is probably used alot of calcium when she laid the double yoker. I told him she has osyter shells and then he said if she does not have access to grit then she will be unable to crush up the osyter shells. My chickens are...

She laid another soft shell during the night. She looks better. I'm giving her apple sauce/yogurt/crumbles mix. Chances of her going broody is 0%. She is a White Leg Horn. Thanks for the idea. I'll be calling the vet to see if they can do anything. I'm saving culling for last...

well sugar is back inside with the humidity treatment. Her vent does not look right, it is partially open and can see inside but i'm not sure what should look right. I'm thinking she is really in trouble

No supplements other than oyster shells and treats. This morning I noticed she was in a nest box but after a few hours no egg was passed. She seems fine today and was out free ranging with the other hens active as ever. If she sticks with egg bound schudule I predict she will be out of it...

While cleaning the tractor out I noticed there was another soft shell in the nest box that sugar was trying to lay an egg in. That means she had to pass 2 shoft shells before she felt good, one in the nest box and 1 inside in the humidity pen I made up with a dog cage on paint cans with a...

The humidity trick worked and she passed a soft shell egg. She has perked up also. Why would it be so hard to pass a soft shell egg? I'm reading up on the possiblities but could use some direction. Thanks

well Sugar was doing Ok yesterday. today she is trying to lay an egg for at least 5 hours and is not doing to well. I have her inside, I read about using a covered cage and humidity to help get the egg out. I'm trying that right now Does anyone have any advice??

Anyone?

I think I’m dealing with an egg bound hen from what I have read. I’m no expert so please let me know. A week ago ago my White Leg Horn (Sugar) laid her first double yoker. She has been laying for 7-8 weeks now and consistently 6 eggs a week. She has not laid an egg since the double yoker...
