Hi and thanks for all your helpful suggestions, she has laid another shell less egg in the night - do you mean just ordinary bio yoghurt, the type we would eat?  and do you think as someone else suggested worming them?  Her poos seem normal now, not runny at all (at least i haven't seen any)  The other hens are fine, as they all eat the same how can one become low on calcium?

I'm sorry for all these questions - i'm very new to all this!
thanks
jane

oh and where do you get crushed oyster shell - just the pet shop? lots of thanks

i have just given the chickens some wholemeal bread with bio yoghurt and they were really excited by it, even the shy one was really keen to hand feed. can i give this to them as a treat every day to hand tame them. i gave them about half a slice of bread between 5.

was this just ordinary bio yogurt that we would eat?  Has the diarrhoea stopped?

the diarrhoea hasnt stopped, what about apple vinegar will that help. the two chickens look really well, eat great. they have always really had dirty bottoms since they were chicks, i have been watching them and it is only 1 poo in about 4 which is runny. they are in with 3 other chickens all grown up together and they dont have a problem at all. any other ideas.

One of my hens had a real dirty bottom for weeks!! She was 18 weeks old when I got her - I rang the Poultry place I had her from and he laughed at me and told me she was only young and it would pass and it did!!

As for soft eggs - I had a problem with those in the early days - I baked and crushed egg shells and put them in with their food - worked a real treat and very quickly too!!!

It's not good for them to keep laying soft eggs as they loose muscle form as they can't hold onto them and they come out at any time....best nipped in the bud ASAP if poss!!

Hope all is good soon x
