MaxBaz Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Kay FINALLY laid her first egg today - so three out of four laying now. It was small - as expected - but had slight smearing on the sides - presumably tiny bit of blood, so must have been a little uncomfortable for her. Haven't had this with the other two, but as it is Kay's first not too alarmed. Is there something I could do to help her next egg and stop it being so uncomfortable (she does NOT like being handled!) or just leave things for a day or so while she gets into the way of things?

Egluntyne Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I would leave things to sort themselves out. Realistically there is not much one can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBaz Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thank you! I was hoping you said that, and not ask me to pick her up and put castor oil all around her petticoat-nether regions! Had an 87g egg from Caroline today - what a comparison with little Kays' first offering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckov Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I had visions of a sort of James Herriot scenario...soap, water, towels etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
