Hi folks
Have not had a very good year hen-wise - Mr Fox has visited twice, one of my girls had to put down because of a respiratory virus and now.....
One of my girls has been laying soft shelled eggs for several weeks She does appear fine in herself unless, she's about to lay, and then it seems it takes forever for her to actually produce an egg. One day I actually "inspected" her VERY CAREFULLY to see if there was an egg stuck but couldn't feel anything!
Today, I've been reading about egg drop syndrome and it's got me worried!!
Following advice from another thread, I have started her on cod liver oil today so, hopefully, that will help to get her back to normal but my question is - how do I know if it is EDS?
I understand EDS is contagious but I have also read that hens do get over it but.....???
Your comments would be much appreciated.
