Chicken stopped laying eggs...

[tknutsen]

I have had my chickens for about 2 months now. They were about 1 yr. when we purchased them. My L.B. has been my steady layer with just about 1 egg per day (on average). She laid a weird egg last week smaller and the shell was very thin (it broke when I picked it up). It has been 5 days now since she last laid an egg. She seems to be healthy (eating, drinking and doing chicken things). Should I be worried? What possibly could be going on with her?

I am not sure what could be wrong but this might help:
-When my chickens dont lay to many eggs I put red wine viniger in the water. This seem to help with the number of eggs your getting.
-To help with the thin shell isue try putting oyster shell in there feed.
Hope this helps a litttle bit.

Thanks for the advice. I will try the red wine vinegar. They have oyster shell available to eat. I have found a vet in my area to take her to if nothing happens in a couple of days. Again thanks for reply.
