    Soft shell egg with yolk and tubular something??

    Long storyline, I apologize. About a month ago one of my hens (black sex link) started closing her eye and it began getting cloudy, no longer laying eggs, and was more lethargic than normal. I was treating the flock with tylosin (just in case) and treating her with that plus terramycin. The...

    Hen laying 2 eggs at a time

    Hi everyone. I apologize if this has already been posted before. We have a young hen (5 months old), which was handraised as a little chick. The other hens bully her and she hates her enclosure, so she still sleeps in our garage, perched on the handlebars of our lawnmower. We knew that she...

    Only one hen laying soft shell eggs

    I have been seeing a soft shell egg many days when collecting my eggs. I've started to pin down who is laying them and I believe it is one of my buff orphingtons. All the other hens are laying normal eggs. They are on layer feed and there is a bowl of oyster shell in the coop. What can I do?

    Egg Quality Issues

    I’ve had some problems with egg quality in my flock recently, and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. First, one of my ameraucanas started laying eggs with lots of calcium deposits on top a few months ago (I haven’t actually seen anyone lay, but I’m 99% sure it’s her). She’s...

    Possible soft shell problem?

    My pullets/ hens (I forget what age they transition) are about 8 months old. For the past few months I've been finding evidence of a broken soft shell egg every few mornings or so, occasionally several consecutive days. Since they began laying at 20 weeks, they've had access to oyster shell and...

    Hen Laid Soft Shell Egg, Yolk Outside

    Hi. I had a 5 1/2 month old Australorp hen today that was acting lethargic, sitting in the run while others were out free ranging, not eating melon (she LOVES melons), etc. Her crop was very squishy, so I assumed she had a sour crop and proceeded to very, very gently induce vomiting, gently...
