Hi, Everyone. My EE, Easter, is a little over 4 y/o and has, this past month, been struggling with recurring cases of EYP which thus far has been treatable. She's been an odd case all her life. Here's a snapshot of her history.
Easter is pint-sized with an unstoppable will to survive. She's the...
My tiny, almost 2 year old EE has a history of egg laying troubles. Despite her size, the poor girl tends to crank out eggs as big as the rest of 'em, and at faster the rate.
Last spring/summer her egg laying became closer in time to one another, and with that her shell quality degraded: first...
BACKGROUND: Hello. Back in September 2020, I posted about my very best chicken-friend, a now 2-year old EE named "Easter," who was on the brink of death from fighting egg yolk peritonitis. She had since miraculously recovered (miraculous with a long antibiotic treatment, crop massages...
I've posted before about my poor, beloved EE, who after a few months of laying beautiful large blue eggs daily suddenly had issues with thin shelled and rubber eggs. Intermittent thin shelled eggs led to almost daily thin shelled eggs, with only a normal one every couple weeks (normal but still...
I'm hoping someone might be able to help with an ongoing laying issue I've been having with my EE, who is just over 1 year old. When she first started laying, she had intermittent issues with laying thin-shelled and shell-less eggs, sometimes back-to-back. After a month or so, she seemed to have...
One of my quails laid a thin shelled egg about 15 days ago and she hasn't laid since. The other one is screaming every time it lays an egg, and tonight the one who stopped laying screamed two times the same way but there is no egg. What should I do?
I have a Black Copper Marans hen who is now 7 1/2 months old. She is a healthy gal and has always been real positive and stress-free. When she laid her first few eggs at 20 weeks, they were soft-shelled and one seemed to have no shell at all. This resolved within that first week. Now, in the...
Hello all! I have 7 layers and 3 pullets close to POL.
1 is older (6-7 years is our best approximation)
1 is 2 years old
the other 5 are a little over a year old.
The older gal has had some thin-shelled eggs as she has aged. The others have been fine... until now... as of about a month ago...
Hi all. My favorite 2 year old Amber-White hen has probs and I can't figure it out. The other 6 hens don't seem to be having this problem though one 2 year old gold sexlink lays eggs in separate parts and has for most of her life and may have some thinning feathers on her underside too. (I think...
