Kit Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi Do I need to be worried as one of my 12 month old pepperpots laid a teeny tiny egg today, one which was 10 times as dark as her normal eggs? Also since we were away in May she is only laying occasionally compared to daily. Thanks All Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Has she been wormed recently? Have you done a health check and examined her for signs of lice and her housing for mites? Is she having layers pellets as the bulk of her diet and not too much in the way of treats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi She was wormed after coming back from chicken camp although I am not sure whether I did it right...I put some flubenvet on half a grape and did it that way. How many days should I have done this for? Yes no mites in house as eglu gets dismantled and jet washed every 10days or so. Not sure about the mites will check tomorrow and they free range all day every day with only pellets and whatever else it is that they find to eat. They only get some grapes or meal worms at night to bribe them back in. Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 if you use the half a grape method they are given half a grape with flubenvet on it for 7 days. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 They are called wind eggs and are yolkless - one of ours went through a phase of them and is fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
