jsbates65 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Rosemary had a shell-less egg where she typically roosts. . .i saw that she had the shell material sort of hanging out. I cleaned her up. She hasn't been laying the last several days, but it's still cold so that's fine. Today she had another shell-less egg. What is going on? She seems totally fine besides. . .any tips? or is this just something that happens sometimes? Also they are both moulting for the first time (that I noticed) and they are both right at 2 years old. Any tips on anything special I should feed them, etc during this time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Extra protein will help them re-feather. Tuna- rinsed, scrambled egg, chick crumbs, organic cat food.....not poultry based. (Defra* disapprove of the latter in the UK). The shell-less eggs will most likely be moult connected, but I wouldn't give extra calcium at the moment as it is not a good idea when they are going out of lay. *Dept for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
