Good info..thank goodness she is acting well, no symptoms of illness at all. She's a Deleware, 1 yr. old..just starting to pick up on laying since she slowed down for the winter..maybe? She is a very big bird. I didn't know that Delewares got so big! She lays often, it's just that every other day it's soft. My husband put a piece of carpet down in all of the nest boxes, under the ceder chips so that when the eggs drop, none break..hers still do. Oh oh, I hear her balking now! Best hurry and go check it's normal so the others won't eat it if it's soft!
Yaay, it was a good one! She must have known, she was announcing it like it was the neatest thing in the world to have laind an egg.
Now I will worry about the next one, which, could come as early as during the night while she is roosting, or real early in the morning. I am making a protien goody for them all today, with the yogurt.
