welsh sarah Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 can they do that, or is this a sign that something is wrong sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 How old is she Sarah and when did she first start laying? It takes them a while to get into the swing of laying properly. 2 of mine laid a couple of eggs a day when they first started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starboyhull Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 If she has been laying everyday, I would think its just her internal workings adjusting...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 i agree, just keep a close eye on her and take her to the vet if you suspect any problems. She may well lay a soft shelled egg. Mine did and were puffed up for a while before laying it. Fine after an hour or so. Any other problems just yell, there is ALWAYS someone on here!
