still laying soft eggs
« on: June 04, 2010, 16:23 »
Hello, its my Hetty again with a problem, she has been laying softies for quite some time, it's about one every other day sometimes they look like an good egg but when you touch them they squash and go every where, but most of the time its early in the morning and they all have a yummy breakfast! She is on layers mash and she has broccoli, she seem fine in herself and the others are ok, what would be a good supplement for her as this has gone on so long? :)

does she have access 24/7 to either oyster shell or baked crushed egg shells?
Staffies are softer than you think.

Yes they have oyster grit, no food has changed since had them, and she used to lay every day.

Joyfull, I have just seen your advice given to Nicky d regarding limestone on grape, it sounds as if she is going through what i am with the girls! Regarding grapes my three go absolutely mad for them infact its like a rugby scrum :D do they think they are snails because of the texture? no one should get that excited about them :)
She was at the end of her first year when we got them in april.
