Can anyone help me out on this one?
I have 6 chickens, 3 are now laying and I am getting 1-3 eggs a day.
Today I collected 1 good hard-shelled egg in the morning along with 2 watery, thin to no shelled eggs sitting together in a lump. I thought weird, maybe another is starting to lay and this is the first run, or that someone is not getting adequate nutrition.
Then I collected 2 more good eggs in the afternoon.
Then when I went to lock up at night I collected another 2 watery, thin to no shelled eggs, again in a lump together.
That's 7 in one day from 6 birds, 3 of which I know lay.
Could the chickens be cycling too fast and laying before their eggs are ready? How could I have gotten so many, and I have never before got any of these watery ones.
Also, yesterday I noticed that a couple of my chickens were sneezing, could having a cold have something to do with this??
Does anyone have any suggestions, I am really lost here,
thanks so much for any input!
