Me for the past 3 months: these pullet eggs are tiny I hope they get bigger!

I'm worried about my little Jelly Bean.
I can't find anything wrong but she is very pale compared to her sister.

Her crop has stuff in but was maybe a little doughy. I gave her some coconut oil to be safe. No one seems to pick on her but she's rather quiet and subdued. Am I being paranoid? Any ideas?

And new eggs!

New eggs.... both on the floor a few days apart but they are slightly different colors.

Are either one of them laying? I'm just thinking maybe Lacey is or is getting ready to and Jelly Bean isnt.

I was thinking the same thing but her attitude is different. Maybe Jelly Bean calmed down before she matures? Idk. I haven't seen signs of worms but I think that's the route I'll go next.

No idea about Jelly Bean, maybe a vent check and a quick peek for mites? Beautiful eggs! Hope they figure out the nesting box soon. One of ours laid one on the floor once and it got covered in straw and my daughter stepped on it. It makes an interesting popping sound when you step on an egg.

I was thinking about working my whole gang also. Just for good measure. Can I just use Wazine for an all around wormer?

safeguard for pigs works for a lot of worms but you need to make sure of the dosage.

Wazine is for mostly round worms. for tape worms use Equimax horse paste.

See: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/worming-with-safeguard-goat-wormer.1105160/#post-17002911

Before treating for worms, send in a sample for a test

Wazine only does roundworms. Or maybe it's only tapes... I never remember.

Poor girl has been felt up more times then she'd like. No creepy crawlies. No poopy feathers.
I almost stepped on the first one. Both times I found them I was in the coop looking for eggs and didn't see them. Then they just appeared out of thin air. I expected them to be warm they showed up so quick. I do know my silkie cross/cross will move them around. I picked one up and put it out of the way by the door only to find her scooting it around.
"This doesn't go here!"
