Hey y’all,
Haven’t posted on here for a while. Anyhow I went out this morning to collect eggs as usual and one of the hens was acting strangely. We haven’t had chicken food for a couple days hope to run out and get some however have been feeding them with cereal, bread and bananas for calcium. We let them free range all they want as we don’t have any predator issues in our area. Anyhow, one of the girls had separated herself from the flock and was acting strangely. She wasn’t not eating or drinking (she is drinking now) and kind of wattling around, it looked like she was in pain. Later we saw her lay what looked like a long egg without a shell. After seeing this I checked her vent and there was some feces and what looked like egg mucus as well. I feel pretty guilty and am just really hoping she’s not impacted. I’ll post pics of the weird egg and her vent if she’ll let me. What should I do? Thanks so much!
