Hi everyone,
My hamburg has successfully hatched and raised an adopted little brood of 4 chicks, and after 13 weeks without eggs is starting to lay again, however her eggs are shell-less
. She has never been a particularly good layer (maybe 3 eggs per week) and has a wonky tail (kind of bent around to the side a bit), however I am a little concerned that she is laying these eggs - I think 2 so far. I only noticed the one today because one of my other chickens had yellow on her beak, nose and wattles and I realised it was yolk, which she must have eaten off the top of the perch, where there were smears of yolk.
Is this type of egg normal for hens returning to lay after and extended period without laying? Should I just offer her extra grit?
Thanks in advance for any advice!!
