chuckmum6 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 It was lovely, thanks. Although my poor girl hasn't got into the swing of egg laying yet, bless her. She laid a shell less egg in the snow and then an egg with a thin shell, which fell through the roost bars. She doesn't seem to know what to do. I am keeping an eye on her as I am concerned she may get egg bound - any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 When my chickens first started laying, We had several softies, over a couple of weeks, but luckily no significant problems. They seemed to get the hang of it after a while and we haven't had a softie in ages. So I wouldn't worry unless the chickens start looking out of sorts. edit: can't wait for my newbie cream legbar to start laying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 She has got into the swing now, we have had five more lovely green eggs, today's egg is an enormous egg! It looks more like a ducks egg, I think it will be a double yolker! The chicken - Tikka, is fine I did a quick MOT with her when I put Vaseline on her comb today, she seems to have sorted everything out - as new layers do Happy New Year all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
