We haven't seen lash material in a little over 30 days now because the last one that was passing it is still in "sick bay", the other 2 died. More about that here.
So this is now going to be the 3rd, but possibly the 4th hen passing lash material. (I'm thinking #2 was EYP) I'm starting to wonder if they are all predisposed to this issue. We don't know which one it is yet, but will narrow it down like before by noting roost position and checking the droppings board in the mornings... Uggh.
We are down to 7 in the coop, and one in the house. Of those 7 we are only getting 1 egg a day. Occasionally, we get 2. They were filling the nest boxes to the tune of 10 a day when there were 12 in there.
I'm wondering if there is anything to be seen under a microscope that would provide any information on the cause, other than the obvious Salpingitis....
