I purchased a bantam polish about 2 or so months ago and lately her laying has been very irregular. A week ago i got an egg from her that had quite a bit of blood streaking but wasn't too worried it happens. but since then she has only laid two eggs. one at an un determined time since they started hiding eggs from me and the other this morning. it was laid from the roost had a slightly soft shell a first for my girls and has such an amount of blood i'm now concerned that there is something not right.
She is a white crested polish was told she was about a year old when i got her. I do not currently have any oyster shells out but will be buying some today thats not the concern the amount of blood is. She is in with a black sex link hen and a large ee hen. the sexlink is a new layer at 6 months and lays every single day. the ee hen is the same age as the polish and hasn't laid an egg in over a week well heck i can't say the last time she laid. they have been free ranging but after the egg hiding episode they are going back in the coop. what could cause such an irregularity in my hens? thanks for any help
