In the Brooder
My chickens are 22 weeks and I’m having some issues. We went through the heat wave last weekend without any problems. Everyone that was laying, continued to lay everyday. Then our temps dropped down 20° overnight and I had 4 hens lay soft shelled eggs. These were in addition to them laying thier normal eggs in the morning. My Barred Rock was acting sluggish yesterday, then laid a soft shelled egg (this was her very first time laying). Today she has been sitting in the coop on the roost, very apathetically. They have plenty of oyster shells. My other hens have laid normal eggs since, so I assumed it was the funky weather causing issues. However, BR doesn’t seem to be getting over it well. Is there something I should do for her? Or just let it run it’s course?
