Official Squatch Watchers

The only treats they get are greens, salmon, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, raisins or other healthy things like that. They don't get an overabundance of those either. Meal worms and Grubblies when I need to bribe them. She is the only one having the issue so I think I will take your advice and start a bi- weekly regimen of calcium.

Out of curiosity .....what kind of treats cause calcium issues?

@Wickedchicken6 Might have a quicker answer.

Lots of coon tracks down by the river. Hubby doesn't want to trap them, thinks they will stay down there. You know they are going to be in the gardens!

And climbing all over the coop and rabbit cage get a 22

I do not know but I have heard spinach.
I am going to do some digging and see what I can find.
Thanks for the project!

Check this out for now.

I have heard oats with block absorption of some things can’t remember what it was. Like RJ said it would be all the girls not just one. She probably needs more than the others

Thanks Kiki!!

What breed is she?
Age?
How often do you feed treats?
Could she possible be a little piggy and she gets more treats than the others?

Ok @Suzi18
This is not going to be a quick answer.
I have a lot to read so it may take me a week.

I should mention she is a fairly new layer too. She has probably layed a total of 15 eggs and maybe 6 have been soft

I would try just watching her for a couple of weeks to see if she starts laying normal then.

The little green one? I gave one to the chickens today. Q-tip my BC hen gobbled it up

Little green bug? No...those awful Asian lady bugs. They are orange and stink when you squish them. They love my house.

That’s just one window. They currently love my bathroom....

She is a 8 month old Bluebar.

I give them " treats" ( veggies and fruits) 5 or 6 times a week. 2 pie pans of chopped veggies or fruits shared by 9 chickens

Don't think she is any more of a piggie than the rest of them.

What???? That's a lot of smacks....
