A couple days ago I got an egg that looked like this. I wasn't sure which of my hens laid it.
I have been meaning to post on here asking what might have caused it, but haven't done it yet. Tonight when I went to the coop I noticed my Australorp was sitting in front of the waterer, kind of lethargic, not moving or making a sound, looking sleepy. When she drank water from the nipples, she was doing it in such a way that some of the water was running down her head. She laid in that spot for a long time, until it was time for her to go in the coop to roost. My Easter Egger was also laying beside her, but did get up and move around. I also noticed some odd looking poop in the run....some that looked like it had a LOT of bright red blood, and some that was black as black can be.
Does anyone have any ideas of what might be wrong with my hen? Suggestions? Treatments?
Thanks!
