I have also only been getting 3 eggs some days and i noticed when Widget did a poo thre was a bit of a shell around it could she be my non layer and what can i do?

Christian Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hi Foxy. if Widget is broody she won't be laying at all. Mine didn't! As you are at work, i work suggest getting/making a broody cage to put her in for a couple of days. I think that Claret has used them to great effect (?), try pming her. Just a cage with food and water and raise it on bricks in the eglu run. So the air passes around Widget and cools her down. I wouldn't worry too much about the shell. As long as she is fine in herself, i'm sure the problem will sort itself out. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
