Well she passed away this evening. Hope it was just an isolated thing, the rest still look fine and eatig fine. On a good note just had 74 chicks out of 117 hatch so far . and i believe 1 or 2 of the eggs were hers. please put your 2 cents in....Russ

Did you do an autopsy ?

No, I work 3rd. shift so my son took care of her while i was sleeping, all the others still seem fine..However I did notice some soft eggs in the cage. I have 2 males and 1 female now but i thought it was a lack of calcium so I gave them oyster shell,,(ground of coarse) to the consistancy of sand. Maybe the problem was ongoing and i missed it. She might have not been right since I got her. Any thoughts on what it was?...Russ
