Squishy!

[lynda66]

i'm not exactly sure how it works thats my next big panic coming up ... but could it be as they are first eggs and squishy, that they think they are having a poo? rather than a big hard egg coming out properly??

Try cutting out ALL treats for a while, just keep them on layers pellets and some cabbage or other brassica leaves, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water available. It could be "teething problems" or them just settling to a new routine.

OK, I'll leave out the treats for a week and see what happens.

Also, have they been wormed? Worms can upset their systems in weird ways. I'd contact the person you got the girls from to find out about worming, when last done, what did they use etc.

They were fully wormed when we got them, but I might order some verm-x just in case.

I don't think so, she was in and out of the nesting box beforehand and has been laying good eggs for a week now.
