Shellless Egg
« on: May 30, 2009, 08:07 »
Hi Everyone!  Well it's me again with another panic situation.  I let our hens out this morning and saw a shelless egg on the henhouse floor.  Our Maran has been in and out of the nest box for two days with no results.  I have a bad feeling it's hers.  Is there anything I should look out for now?  She seems to be fine and about her business as usual.  Thanks!
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!

Just keep an eye on her and make sure they have free access to oyster shell. If she is new to laying she may not be quite in the swing of the production thing. A lot of hens are like this  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

we added calciplus to the water for a couple of days, just to give a little boost
