The Hen House / Re: Soft shell eggs
« Last post by New shoot on Today at 07:22 »
Hens new to laying can have a few ups and downs, but if their diet is good there is not much more you can do. 

Your hen has laid normal eggs, so I would wait and see.  If they only ever lay soft shells that is more likely to continue, but doesn’t necessarily make them ill.  If there is a problem internally that is probably something in the process of forming an egg, rather than some genetic illness.  The main issues are becoming egg bound or having a prolapse.  You can help her with the first as you have already done.  Prolapses are more serious but cross that bridge if you get to it.  Maybe read up on them so you know what to look for.

Grow Your Own / Re: Strawberries not thriving

I would tip them out of their pots investigate and remove any grubs then replant hoping that there are still some roots left.

When I first started my blog some 20 years ago now, I could spend a day working hard on the plot, get home and have tea before writing up what I’d done. Nowadays my spirit is willing but I’m more likely to doze off on the sofa than write up the day. Still, jobs are getting done even if I’m a lot behind on writing things up.

I have no experience of using them, but I think it needs to be warm enough - which it should be now?

The grubs are what the nematodes attack - you'd see small white C-shaped grubs in the compost if you tipped it out for a bit - best to check whether that is the issue before spending money on them
