I know this has been covered in several different threads but I wanted to see if anyone has any input..
Our 15 week old Golden Comet layed her first egg (a double yolker!) one week ago today. She laid again on Sat, Mon & Tues. On Wed morning I found a very soft, almost leathery looking substance under the roost. Everything around it was covered in a very dark yellow fluid (almost urine like). I assume that it was a soft egg. Since then, we have no no more eggs from our little girl.
Currently, I have flock raiser mixed in with the rest of my chick starter (as she is the only 1 of my 5 that is laying), I have free oyster shell in the run & they get a good mix of daily treats such as fress grass, plants, hard boiled eggs, oats, corn, & sunflower seeds.
Do you think that there is a problem with Ginger? She's eating like a horse & her behavior is normal. Is this the normal course for a girl when she first begins to lay?? Any suggestions on what might be going on or what more I can do??
