Hi! I haven't posted here in awhile, but I have a question.
My 2 year old buff orpington hen started laying again this spring, so far so good, but it seems now that she is laying a lot of almost unusually large eggs. One nearly covered my palm and fingers (almost goose or turkey sized...), boy did she squawk after laying that. Another came out with a thin wash of something darker (blood?) on the shell. She's now complaining everytime she has to go to the nest and I can't imagine this is pleasant for her. Is there anything I can do to help her? Will this correct itself or is there something else going on?
