Soft Egg
« on: January 13, 2011, 21:18 »
Any one had a soft shelle d egg ? i took my girls for there free heal check at the vets and one had layed in the box, not sure if it just came early from anbit of stress and being molested by the vet. They are on layers with a bit of cornfor a treat and have mixed grit and oyster shell.

Any advise ??

yes we will all get them every now and then. If they are just coming into lay then don't worry too much just make sure they have layers all day, grit to help grind their food and oyster shell to give them calcium to help with the calcium for the shells  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

yep i registered with them and they gave all 3 a free health check up, he commented on how beautiful they where and that they are very health girls. so i should give thorns in letchworth a plug for selling them to me in such health, the guy was also very honest when i asked if there was anything else i needed. he had a store full of stuff and didnt try to flog me anything i may not use or even anything i may use in a bluemoon. so big up to thornsletchworth
