    Guineas laying soft eggs

    Hi, my guineas are 4.5 months old. I had no idea that they would lay this young lol. But the 1st egg was thin but pretty firm. But the last 2 eggs i found were soft. I began putting oyster shells in their food once I found the 1st egg. My question is...how long does it take to start seeing a...

    Possible EYP not sure if I should treat for infection or just make comfortable...

    I am looking for a bit of help. I am a fairly new chicken lady. I have 5 hens all two years old, purchased from my pet chicken. I have a two year old barred rock hen who is laying around and acting lethargic. She can walk, but doesn't seem to want to and when she first stands seems wobbly and...

    Prolapsed vent AND I found 14 soft-shelled eggs all stuck together

    My 16 month old hen has always been kind of weird looking. Her butt always hangs low and she waddles. She also always lays eggs with no shell- but rarely lays at all. So obviously something has been off since she hatched. Anyway, this morning I found 14 soft shelled eggs in the coop. A few were...

    Ready made Breakfast! Ugh!

    Hi everyone! First time poster: be gentle :) I live in the UK, and bought my first flock back in July. I have 6 warren browns who were all born back in February. Theyre a hybrid from a very reputable seller. All throughout July and August, they laid well and I was getting 6 eggs a day. Wow...

    Muscovy laying soft shelled eggs

    My Muscovy hen is broody and has been sitting on fake eggs going on about 10 days or so. She had been laying daily for the past 3 weeks or so and recently in the last few days we’ve found several shell-less eggs. 2 on Saturday, one yesterday and one today. We have another female Muscovy and her...

    Help! My hen is sick!

    HELP,!!! My beautiful ex-battery hen, Brittany isn't doing well. She is sitting around puffed up with eyes closed and seemed to be sitting in egg white but I couldn't find the shell. (I've been dealing with soft shelled eggs for weeks and giving her extra calcium, but she lays eggs at a rapid...

    Hen Having Egg Problems

    One of my girls has been laying eggs with what I think, correct me if i'm wrong, is a bunch of calcium deposits? (See picture below) What can I do to remedy that? There's also been a few times in the past week that she laid a soft egg. What causes that? She's a Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington...

    Soft eggs and Diarrhea

    hello all - I am new to Chicken raising and hope someone can help. We have 3 Rhode Island Red hybrids. They have a great life and get to free range quite a bit. We feed them commercial feed and treats of scratch, cabbage 1x per week, fruit, and some - but very few - table scraps. We have had a...

    Soft eggs from new layer

    Today I found a couple eggs from (I presume) a new layer in my flock. They were together on the poop board under the roost instead of in a nesting box. I worked 12 hours yesterday so didn't get to collect eggs, as the sun had already set and hens were in bed for the night when I got home. I'm...

    Hello- Help, Please!

    hi, I have had my chickens since a week before Easter. I believe my chickens are about 20weeks old. I have 3 Rhode Island Reds. I was very surprised to walk out yesterday and clean their coop to find an egg sitting in the nest. Today I went out and found a soft shelled egg. I popped it open and...
