I have one EE pullet who consistently makes a big production out of laying. She sits in the box a long time, and when it comes down to it, she grunts and fluffs out all her feathers. You can hear her holding her breath and just PUSHING with all her might - and then she lays a medium egg. She's been laying about 2 months, and she lays about 5 days a week.
She's never had any blood on her eggs, except the very first few. She seems normal the rest of the time - except that she runs like a duck.
Do you think she'll get over this, or is she more likely to get eggbound? Do you think maybe the waddle and the laying are related, that maybe the shape of her pelvis is different or something?
