Found a thread with an egg like yours, maybe post your photos in there and see what they say?What is this?

If they eat food off the ground they usually need worming. Raising birds on high sandy soil need it less. (Ralphie) me: I need to regularly worm as I live on wormy wormville swamp land with a full compliment of side diseases that go with it- i.e. Blackhead. I worm in the summer-- June-- on egg break. And then when the molt has finished. Early winter.

Hmmm I just blew the photo up, maybe not the same. I'd still post it. Either there, or start your own thread in that forumn. Chances are, someone has seen it. It actually looks familiar to me, but don't remember where I've seen a photo like it.

I noted the buckeye had foamy eyes again today. With the barometric pressure changes this happens to her. It's so weird. But was 4/4 on eggs so not complaining.

Ralphie yes to antibiotic to treat reproductive issues. Sometimes the damage is done already when the first symptoms show-- scarred off tube-- and the hen has fought the bacteria on her own. I think with those infections you go right for the big guns-- baytril. I personally have not been one to treat it. baytril is $50 for a hen's dosing from the rip off vet in town. But if EMoricals birds are on the pet spectrum that would be the treatment. And I wouldn't blame her a bit. As I've obviously considered and researched it. But I'm sure I was too late anyways. That's the difficulty with it.

My marigold has fought it off. She laid eggs for one year. Was weird and squatty for a week and never an egg thereafter. She will be 5 in June. I can't whack her because she's an original and I love her coloring.

The ones I have, I have for eggs. Then I run an old hens retirement center for the ones that have done me good. (I even make my husband dispatch them. I'm such a softy for my egg layers) Yeah - I can totally see why she is still around- good lookin hen!

Cluckies I think you found the right thread and looks like good news/ advice from aart there. She's a good seasoned veteran with this stuff.

Thanks again! Posted and will see what other folks say. Hen seems to be fine - will turn her out in her own little pen tomorrow and keep and eye on her. Now it's up to her!
