Single hen

My new girl (isa brown, arrived as POL in Jan) was very unwell yesterday afternoon. She sat in a huddle and I put her to bed very worried. She had laid that morning 9 and has been laying every day for 2 weeks) and seemd to go downhill very rapidly.

 

I was very happy to see her up with the other two this morning...imagine my suprise when I found 3 softie eggs in the nest box (all hers, she lays early, the other two laid one each "normal" later in the day).

 

She was back to her normal self today, but I withheld treats just in case. I have heard of one softie egg...but three seems a bit crazy.. .no wonder she was feeling poorly!!

Poor little thing, that would be enough to make you feel off colour . Glad she's perked up now .

Triplets! Pigeon had a softee a couple of days ago and that one made her look very down so can imagine 3 must have made her feel yuk. Hope she's staying perky now.

Just to let you all know that following her 3 softies in one morning/night, Izzy has been laying normal eggs every morning...she hasn't had a break!!! Thats what I call super fertile!!

 

Still don't know why she laid those softies as all the others are ok. Any ideas anyone? Or is it just a freak occurrance?
