    Shell less Eggs and calcium deposits on eggs

    Hiya, We've got a 3 year old lowest on the pecking order (looks like a runt at this point) Orpington hen. She's been laying multiple shell less eggs over night one night last week and last night. Other girls are laying correctly. I understand there's a myriad of reasons for shell less eggs...

    My hen is not herself, pinky orange discharge coming out of vent

    Hi everyone, I’m a new chicken keeper and I am panicking as my 4 month old white Sussex hen isn’t herself tonight. She was fine all day and when I went to let her out the run for her evening walk around the garden she was all puffed up. She had a slow walk around and then I saw pinky/orange...

    One lonely hen left. And she might be sick :(

    Hi again, We have lost Tove, our 6 year old French Copper Maran. Now, only 5 years old Tonny is left: (Me and Tonny in the garden) Now, it might be hypokonder, since we just had to deal with a very sick Tove, but sometimes the tip of her comb turns sliiightly purple, and it also seems slightly...

    Chronic soft egg issue

    Hello! I have a Gold Laced Wyandotte who has always had some egg issues. - once or twice a month she’ll lay eggs with such thin and brittle shells that they break when you try to write the date on them. - every few months or so she’ll lay a shell-less or *very* soft shelled egg. My hens are...

    5 mo, laying for a week, broken egg or prolapse?!

    I noticed our 5 mo bluebell egger in the corner of the run yesterday, with her wings down and tail down. She’s a spitfire so I knew something was off. She was normal this morning eating eggs and snacks and drinking water, this pm she was back to her quiet ways. Gave her an epsom salt warm bath...

    No-Shell Egg laid at night time

    So recently, my 22week old flock has started laying eggs. For the past two days, this chick had been going in and out of the nesting box like she’s getting ready to lay. Tonight, I count all them in the coop and I notice she seems constipated on the roosting bar. Then bam, an egg just drops...

    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 Consistently Laying Shell-less Eggs

    Hello Chicken People, I’ve posted about my egg shell problems before, but after switching to mostly Layer Pellets (as opposed to only All Flock with oyster shell/crushed egg shells available), AND trying calcium tablets as a supplement, my Hattie is now laying eggs without any shell at all (as...

    Shell-less egg with weird stuff stuck (pics)

    Hi, my hen was becoming lethargic. Yesterday she layed a softshell egg. I de-wormed her with levamisole. Today, she didn't move at all, and layed a shell-less egg with white weird stuff (see picture). She lost appetite. Should I give her medicine ? Her poop is always like a long foamy tube...

    Possible Marek's and not shell-less eggs after all??

    I hope someone is able to help figure out what is going on with my 12 month old Easter Egger Olivia, who has been laying eggs with only a yolk for the past week. I posted this a few days ago in the forum relating to egg laying but am now wondering if her symptoms may be related to Marek's. I got...

    Why has my Easter Egger started laying only yolks?

    I hope someone can help me figure out why one of my chickens (12 months old) has started to lay eggs that appear to be only yolks with no whites or shell. I first noticed what I thought was simply the remains of what had been a broken egg about a week ago so cleaned it up and didn't think much...

    Hatching quail eggs in a cup?

    Hello, hope you're all having a good day! I've been doing research on hatching eggs without shells using a cup, plastic food wrap, a cotton ball, distilled water, and calcium lactate powder. I think the first people who did it were high school students in japan, or scientists, (not sure who did...
