3 eggs in one day? I thought that was a myth!

She has not laid for three days (had them stored up). I know they are her's because they are huge and she lays with a rough feeling shell. I heard her clucking most of the day and thought she was getting sick. I guess this means she will be taking a few days off.

I'm not an expert, but I suspect a calcium problem, either not enough in the feed or her not able to process it properly. (I've had quail eggs that were soft and leathery like this before.)

I would pick up a small bag of oyster shell grit, let her have it free choice, and see if that helps.

I got a leather egg the other day from one of my new layers. I just figure she's new at this and it was a little hiccup in the system.

A family I sold some chicks to brought back a roo they couldn't keep and a few others that they got somewhere else and couldn't keep. So...if anyone would like a pet quality, very nice buff silkie roo please let me know. I also have two silver sebright youngsters. My guess is they would be a mid-late february hatch. Free to anyone on byc.

Shellless. That happened with the quail if there was a shortage of calcium.
