Hi everyone,
I am new to raising chickens , here is her back story
I have purchased 4 grown chickens from a farm, allegedly about one year old -
Lucinda was a silver laced wyandotte , two weeks ago she laid back-to-back 2 shell-less eggs, from my online research
I thought it was a dietary issue and supplemented her with oyster egg shells, the next day her egg was back to normal and
she had been laying normal eggs consistently .
We had a couple of hot days and I noticed all hens mouth breathing and that also went back to normal.
Yesterday I found her dead in the coop.
I feel terrible and fell like I have failed her and I am worried about the other 3 hens, if anyone can point me on what to look
for to make sure they are safe?
Thank you
