KateC Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Doris my little columbian blacktail has consistently laid good eggs since we had her last year. However, yesterday she laid an unusual one with very rough, discoloured shell. Today I realise she has laid one without any shell, only yolk and a fair bit of blood. I am concerned about her although she is eating normally and doesn't appear ill in any way. I give the girls some greens every afternoon and corn although she is a bit fussy about what she will eat, avoiding the cabbage and only eating the grapes!! I have put some lifeguard in the water today and put some grass tops in for them after cleaning them out this morning. I wonder whether the recent drop in temperature may have something to do with it too as she is the smallest chicken I have. Any other ideas please, I would be grateful for some advice from more experienced chicken owners. Thank you so much. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizzyMomma Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Do they have grit/shell to eat as well? Might just be a "blip" in her system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateC Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 They do have grit so as you say hopefully it is a blip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
