Hi all
As always everybody is so helpful here so I’m looking for any advice in regards to my elderly hen.
We think violet is about 12 she was 8 when I got her and I’ve had her just over 4 years. I think she is slightly arthritic and she was in the vet last week with sour crop.
She hasn’t laid for months but since we’ve had warm weather in the uk she’s laid rubbery eggs, jve just found this that she has just laid and she had a bit of liquid coming out her vent. The “eggs” have no yolk I am giving her grit and she’s on a balanced diet, I just wondered should I ask my vet for antibiotics due to this egg and is there anything I can do to help her not have these sort of eggs ? Also does anybody know what they are and why this would be happening ? She is also on a multi vitamin which has calcium in it, oyster shell , grit.
Thank you in advance
