Smileygem Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi When i got home today and let out our two hens I noticed one was very hunched up and obviously not ok. She wasn't walking properly. She then laid a bloody egg with a membrane but no shell and then another 10 minutes later with no membrane either. After that she perked up although I did see her stood with her eyes closed which is also odd. She seems ok now but any ideas of the problem. We normally get an egg a day although a few months ago she didn't lay for a few days then laid a soft egg. But she was perky and ok not like just now.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It could just be a blip, it sometimes happens with no ill-effects. I'd just monitor her for now. How old is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Mine looks really off it until the soft egg is laid. Is she well now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smileygem Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks - she is only young, we got her from omlet at point of lay about 4 months ago. She seems absolutely fine today though, no egg but Im not expecting one for the next few days after the other day so I will hopefully get some over the weekend.
