If this has already been addressed ad nauseam somewhere I apologize.
I have 4 Isa Brown hens who are roughly 9 months old. They all have been laying for around 4/5 months. Each one has laid a strong, large egg a day consistently, until a few days ago. We had 3 eggs in the nest box. The following day, there were 4 eggs, however, one was absolutely massive and extremely thin shelled. The following day, there was an egg on the floor of the coop. The next day, an extremely rough, sandpaper textured egg back in the box. Now no egg for 2 days again.
I have suspicion as to which hen this might be; i have, however, checked them all and they seem to be fine. No mites, bright red combs, eating normally. I do have one girl who seems to really look a little ragged, particularly around the bottom of her breast. I can't imagine she is molting? I dunno.
Any info is appreciated.
