When I was putting and locking the girls up for the night-I happened to notice my oldest hen's butt with what looked like the egg white leaking down from it-no yolk-now she is not freindly as hard as I tried to "tame" her-her bunk mates are darlings. rescued her last year from my SIL who just allowed her to wlk around in the dead of winter with no shelter-she had given away the rest of her flock and couldnt catch this one-I snagged her and threw her in a tucker tote and brought her home-fortunately they took right to her. Now I dont know if what I saw was really egg white drooling down-but if it was, can she pass the egg shells on her own? Has anyone ever had their hen do it by herself? I dont think she has ever had this problem-and today I did not get an egg from her...I know what I should-I hope from all the info I have read on here-if I see shell fragments-Im just dreading catching her to bath her is all-but Ill do whatever it takes to make her feel better so she is not in pain...
