esta Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I really think that it might be my silkie. About a month ago, her best mate died of a tragic illness that was uncureable, I did every thing to save her... It might be that, I wonder. Has anybody got any tips or advice to help me out!!

Snowy Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi Esta, I'm sorry to hear you've been having problems. I'm afraid I don't know very much myself, but here are a couple of useful sites that might help: http://www.thepoultrysite.com/publications/1/egg-quality-handbook/18/misshapen-eggs http://www.defra.gov.uk/foodrin/poultry/pdfs/eggqual.pdf Alternatively, it may be worth posting on the Practical Poultry forum as they have some longer standing, serious poultry keepers there who may have an answer for you.

Egluntyne Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Have a look **here** Esta. Have your hens got access to Mixed poultry grit? What are you feeding them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
