Big Red Roosters
Songster
I have one Isa Brown, she's a sweetheart. She hasn't missed a day of laying since spring. She's about a year and a half old.
I noticed for several weeks that her eggs were looking a little different, some weren't totally colored, others were a bit wrinkled, and the yolks had little red spots. I know they weren't embryos as she is not with any roosters.
It never bothered me, I figured she can't always be perfect when pumping out so many eggs.
She eats flock raiser and eggshells. They're her favorite and so I always save a few for her.
Now I may be jumping the gun a bit, I let her free range the last two days, but there were no eggs in her usual nesting box. So today I left her inside to see, and still no egg.
The outside temperature went from 60° to 0° overnight and It hasn't gone back up. Could this be a factor or could she be having internal egg problems? She's a bit poofed up, but so is everyone else, its freezing out there.
