SAB Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 One of my ex-batts who lays pretty reliably has been in and out the nextbox all day sqwauking away as though laying an egg but nothing there when she is finished - anyone any idea what going on? (I posted query in egg section but no replies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Maybe she is trying to lay a very large egg. Perhaps she is on the verge of turning broody. Any update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 No update yet, but I had wondered about the possibility of her becoming broody as there are hormones a plenty in the run at present with one of my other birds just about to start laying and the discovery that Gloria, our mini silkie is a boy! Interestingly Velma has been a lot less of a bully lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 There have been a couple of eggs laid today but unsure by whom - none particularly large, but shells are more firm than when the ex-batts first arrived, so that may be cause of Velma's behaviour the other day. She seems fine now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
