Ok she's only 3. I read about the calcium citrate,,,is that especially for chickens or human vitamins crushed up?? My other hen we had laid double yolks 3-4 times a week, ended up dying last year. Very sad. I could take this hen in to a vet but trying to decide "which one" it is. Both look...

I raised two in my garage in a dog crate because the other two hens were pecking at them so I waited to join them with the others. Got them at 6 wks, stayed in the dog crate (wrapped in chicken wire) till they were about 6 months old. They started laying in there, in a dish of ashes and pine...

So what happened?? She start laying? Mine hasn't layed in over 2 months! Not egg bound either..??
