Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Thank you CB and thank you RC.

We won't flush then. We will keep a close eye on her. I am also going to give her calcium citrate tablet.

@RoyalChick She was already pretty perky yesterday, but she does seem so relieved after getting rid of the eggs. She ate a lot afterwards. We both witnessed the end of her egg laying (thank god she came inside for egg laying today). She struggled sooo much, pushed sooo hard while making struggling sound. I almost cried.

Was it an overly large egg?

The ones that were ‘fused’ I mean

Not much air but it's cooler. Yesterday was horrible. I hate the lack of air

How's it your way?
Your ladies look comfortable with their new guy ❤

It’s cool here, so all the chickens are happy - horses too!

If they happy I am happy!!

I saw poor wee gal, hard to tell how big it was, hopefully she will be ok now

But she laid 3 eggs in one shot!

Oh my goodness!
Is Light looking perkier now she has got all those out? I would think so!
I will be interested to see what the folk on the emergencies thread think but I wouldn't flush anything for risk of introducing infection.
If the third egg came after the soft shell one then I would guess she is in the clear.
I would probably give her some calcium boost for a few days - I use calcium citrate pills and just pop them in their mouths but there are other choices.
By the way, just because you haven't seen the yolk it doesn't mean it is inside. Diana sometimes eats the yolk of her no-shell eggs, and sometimes it runs through the shavings and I only realize it was there when I go clean out and there is icky dried egg at the bottom.
I do hope she is feeling better!

@lightm I agree with RC

What do you mean by 'fused', the crushed one?

@lightm I agree with RC

Thank you Bob.
