Hi all,
I'm very new here, we just adopted out first three layers two weeks ago. They are about to turn 1 year old. I noticed today when I was cleaning out the hen house that the bedding in the nest box was wet in a spot. It seemed almost as if there was egg there. I looked but could find no shell anywhere. If a hen had broken and eaten one of the eggs I assume I would have found some residual broken shell, right? Could it have been an egg without a shell? Or just loose poop?
Thanks for any insight you have for this new gal!
