Hello All
One of my good Australorps laid an egg outside in the grass yesterday which isn't all that odd, but it was lying in a pool of something that looked just exactly like egg white. There was no yolk. Later in the afternoon, she went inside a small dog house and stayed there. I took her out after dark and put her up for the night. This morning I noticed her moving slower than usual and she went straight to the dog house again without eating or drinking and is still there. I did take her out for a short time to observe her and she definitely is not standing erect and alert. She is obviously sick, but I do not know what may be the problem. Could an egg have broken unside her and the shell stay in there? Anybody have a clue? Only thing I know to do is treat her with antibiotics.

Dan
