Egg laying

Im a bit concerned about Pamela my speckledy,   Ive had her a few weeks now, she didnt come in great health and went on antibiotics straight away, wormed etc etc.  On the journey to me she had laid a softy egg, the following day she had also laid a softy egg.   She didnt lay for a day or so and then laid normally for a few days, eggs were normal size and good shell quality.   Then she stopped for a good few days, then a wind egg came along followed by a big double yoker, didnt lay for a couple of days then she laid for two days and then nothing for two days, that was yesterday and nothing today.   She looks good and certianly is running about the place, eating drinking well and doing all chickeny things.   Im not sure wot age she is, the breeder told me they were last yrs birds starting to lay around september, october time.    I would really appreciate any advice just so i can relax abit, i dont think there is any need to take her to the vet yet, i had read that sometimes them being ill can effect the reproductive track and damage it and as she hasnt had a great time of it im wondering would that be possible.  Any ideas or suggestions for prehaps treating her would be greatly appreciated,.    Nickyxx

Hi Nicky, Sorry to hear about your Speckledy.  Have you tried her on some natural yoghurt since she was on the antibiotics?  I got some Avipro plus that my vet got in for me.  Only gave it to them for about 3 or 4 days.  They are being wormed at the moment in case.  I have also had some days when mine aren't laying as much as they used to hence the worming, louse spray etc.  Don't know what is causing it.

As they get older their legs generally get thicker so wondered if she was noticably thicker legged making her older in which case she could be coming to the end of her egg laying hence the softees etc 

  I knew it wouldn't be long before you wanted some more hens - you were just looking for an excuse wasn't you 

sorry, but just want to put in a piccy of Stacey as he said they were from the same batch, but clearly she is younger, wouldnt you say
