Hello,
We have a small flock of 4 bantam chickens, all different types. Our Easter egger has been laying regularly but we recently noticed some changes in her eggs. ( see attached pictures).
She gets picked on regularly by one of the other chicks and has lost a few feathers in her neck. Not sure if this is the beginning of molting or they are being pecked off.
Today we noticed her shoot is very red, will try to get a better picture later today.
Should we be concerned about how her eggs look, is this a sign of something going on with her? We found a paper thin soft shell egg in the coop a few weeks back and believe it was hers.
Her eggs are usually small and round. These last few have been bumpy and today oval.
Thank you for any guidance you might be able to share.
