    Laying yolk and membrane separately

    Hello, everyone, My 20-month-old hen Harriet has been having egg issues since about June when one of her sisters died from what we suspect was also egg related. She had been sporadically laying "rubber eggs" in addition to laying hard shell eggs. I took her to the vet in late Sept. when she...

    FouMy First Soft-Shelled Egg This Morning

    Pretty sure it was my Leilei. I snapped her out of being broody in the past week, and she's been back-and-forth having a full crop at night. She has good weight on her, and she looks and acts fine. Contents of the egg was a normal egg white. I've been giving my babies a teaspoon of Rooster...

    Hen lays rubber eggs every night while roosting

    Hello, I noticed one night a few weeks ago when putting my chickens away at night that one of my hens was acting strange and looked like it was squatting while roosting. I was a little confused and then it just layed an egg right there on the roosting stand. She had laid a shell less rubber egg...

    Hen wheezing panting sneezing watery poop

    I noticed yesterday that one of my hens was panting. Her neck expands very far when she breaths. She has also been sneezing a lot. She pooped and it was very stringy and white. She is eating and acting normal other than that. I just gave her some oatmeal with oregano and some water with...

    Whats wrong with my egg?

    Does this mean my hen is sick? One time occurrence? Anyone know? As soon as she laid she ate some oyster shells. I leave them out daily for them. Does she need to be seperated?

    New Castle or stressed broody hen??

    We have a hen that we thought was broody for the last week or so. Staying in the coop most of the day, not eating as much and so on. Today she layed a rubber egg and threw up. It was an especially hot day (over 90 when last week our highs were barely in the 70s) but we know she is getting enough...

    In all the 11 years I have had my chickens, this is a first. Nobody's laying right now because they're all molting. But today.... I get this and have no clue who laid it. Totally like a rubber egg. Cutting it open, looks like meat. WHAT IS IT???

    why did my hen lay this egg?

    Hello. I have a 1 year old hen who has been acting sick, lethargic, and has been continually pumping the tail/vent area. Two days ago I was able to extract a kind of membrane looking liquid from her vent. I thought she might be egg bound so I bathed her for 20 minutes and separated her from the...

    13 month old Welsummer laying rubber eggs, now acting egg bound?

    Hi everyone! My 13-month-old Welsummer has been laying rubber eggs for most of her laying life. I can count on one hand the number of normal eggs she has laid. She has been otherwise fine and normal acting, no obvious problems. I offer a bowl of oyster shell in addition to their layer feed...

    Suddenly Laying Eggs in Odd Places and then Rubber Eggs

    I have three hens, all old enough to be egg layers. One of mine, I think a golden sexlink (she was a stray that didn't leave so I kept her and got her friends), started molting around October. She continued laying regular strong eggs. I live in Albuquerque and we have had a very mild winter...

    Why are my friends chickens falling over and dying?

    I don't have pictures, but I did see one in action so I'll do my best to explain symptoms. My BFF bought 25 California whites from a local "breeder". Fairly recently they have been dropping like flies. The first symptom is a droopy tail. Most of the birds have upright tails, but the ones who...

    Hen laying 2 soft eggs a day

    Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this: I have an EE that has been laying for about a month now and for the last week, she has been laying 2 soft shell eggs a day. She had previously laid a few double-yolkers, but now it's 2 separate eggs that are soft. They get...
