one of my hens has not given me any eggs since her first (laid saturday) so I have been watching her very closely. I keep catching her in the nest box, but no eggs. After a lengthy egg song and again, no egg, I decided to finally catch her (she is BY FAR my flightiest girl...and quite a fighter-I had a lot of scratches when I caught her to clip her wings -she still jumps/flies out of the run
). When I turned her over to look at her vent and such there was what looked like a whisked-up egg oozing out (now granted, it may have been watery egg yolk colored poo-but it didn't look like it )
Did the stress of me catching her crush it? Or was it maybe a little too big for her to lay and it was stuck there, ready to burst? I saw no shell bits or anything like that. The other hens lay everyday without fail (good thick-shelled beautiful eggs)...any idea what is going on with her? She's my only green egg layer so I hope she'll lay again at some point
. I'm terrified she was egg bound and I didn't know it
Oh, and before i caught her i did notice what i though was poo on her cushion feathers below her vent-could it have been old dried egg ?
