Jellybean and Pedro both laid their first egg today. both seemed to have a pretty hard time of it, Jellybean seemed really scared, she kept running all over the place clucking profusely and didn't know what to do with herself. Both kept going in and out of the nest area and kept digging in the bedding and when I opened the door it fell out and ended up more on the run floor than the nest, so I had to replenish lol. Pedro was calmer than Jellybean leading up to the lay although she did a lot of running around too and sang the egg song loads which sounds so pretty, I wish I could have recorded her but couldn't work out how on the phone I have. At one point Jellybean indicated that she wanted to go into the bungalow so I let her and Pedro followed, I still have the indoor cage up but empty and both went over to it wanting to get in so I quickly put in bedding, food, water and some treats, as neither had eaten much all day, Jellybean ate a little then scratched around loads, then decided she didn't want to be in there after all so flew out, so I let them both outside again. After several hours of panic clucking Jellybean finally settled in the nest and laid a pullet sized egg which has a greenish tint to it, so I don't know if there's something wrong or if her eggs will be that colour. Pedro started getting panicked about an hour or so before she laid, she sounded so distressed I prayed for her, she eventually laid but her egg is massive, bigger than Lilah's yet she is smaller than Lilah and Jellybean and I've noticed it has smears of blood on the shell, I'm guessing its from the strain of laying but is this something I need to be worried about and is there something I should be doing?
Meant to say both egg shells are hard which surprised me as I was told they would be soft, is this correct or is there something wrong?
