FoxFighters Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Dear All Sorry to sound like a paranoid newby (I'm not - honest) My went through the whole softee routine the other day, squatting, hunching, looking generally miserable. She laid a softee and was still a bit miserable for the next day or so, but 7 days later she still hasn't laid a 'proper' egg! (one other softee though) I have to give her her due she has continued to lay all winter, between 5-7 eggs a week! She gets loads of oyster grit, and when she first started with her symptoms I gave her Zolcal D. She is perfectly fine in herself now, hasn't had a moult yet and is only just over 1 year old, so I'm hoping she's not coming to the end of things (as it were!) I do probably give them too many treats but have reduced them greatly since this started, though I have always given them the same treats with no problems in the past? Any suggestions? Is this normal and should I just chillax (as my daughter would say!!!) My is totally fine and if anything seems to have increased egg production! I will never be able to figure Chooks out!!!!

Chucky Mama Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I would cut out the treats for the moment and then only give in small amounts when she is back laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
