I just noticed that it is always one and the same hen that lays weird eggs and is constantly eggbound , this is totally abnormal and especially given the facts here :
1. always acces to water and good quality feed
2. all other birds just lay their eggs
3. she does not get bullied or etc , and is a happy hen
4. not obese , no other factors I can match to her issue
5. she is a laying hen ( Isa brown , cinnamon queen , golden comets , whatever and has lived her life doing nothing else but laying eggs ? )
so what could be the cause of this and what to do about it ??
acces to grit etc , water : garlic + applecidervinegar , a lot of proteines and calcium etc , vitamines .... )
nestboxes : she goes in but tries to push and constantly sits in there like forever ,
no succes what so ever , not even bathing her helped , not even putting her in a high temp room , calciumshot is given a few times before this time and ended up with succes after LONG time , ending up with an egg like this :
take 3 other eggs from same breed and put it on a scale , now take the egg she lays and it is the same weight of THREE LARGE eggs , what in the world is this girls issue ???
her eggs also have odd color , her previous one looks half white , half brown ?
questionable case here
