chitchen1978 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Help, Dolly our White Star has always been a good layer. She had started to lay shell-less eggs about 4 weeks ago, she then laid what I no know is a lash. We upped her calcium with some oyster shell. Since then the other girls have laid very hard shelled eggs but we have had nothing from Dolly. This morning she was sitting on the nest and we thought the egg was eventually coming but on closer inspection it looked like her innards were falling out. Her bottom was pulsing and white liquid poo was coming out of her vent. She is now at the vets, as we were not confident to start pushing fingers up vents. Can anyone tell me if I've done anything wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 No, you haven't. These things happen, and in my personal experience, White Stars seem to be prone to it. I hope the vet can sort things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 They are more prone to it - white stars are fairly small hens and tend to lay big eggs in proportion to their size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It may just be the eggs stuck because when they lay normally their insides come out over the egg a bit. Fingers crossed for you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
