Broken egg inside hen! Help!

Don't worry, I've never wormed my chickens either, and my hens are all healthy. Wormers are best used when a problem is occurring, not on a regular basis (at least in my experience, other people have other circumstances and experiences).

Ok, thankyou! :)


My first course of action would be to worm your flock. Then check the calcium levels in your feed , supply oyster shell or calcium barbonate on ' free take ' in a bowl in the coop. If there has been a glitch in the system you won't necessarily feel any lumps in the abdomen .

And this on calcium.

Thank you,
I'll go check the calcium levels right now but I think on the bag it says good level of calcium for laying hens but I'll check.

I have oyster shell free take in many areas in my yard for my hens to eat if they want it but I have a main spot for it near their water. I'll fill it up if it needs to be filled. Thanks again.
