Yesterday Snow laid a hard shelled egg inside a soft shelled egg for the second time but she looked fine. Today she had the humped posture that indicates struggling with egg laying. As she had laid yesterday morning I expected another weird egg tomorrow morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By late afternoon Snow looked back to her normal self again. I checked the nest boxes and Snow had laid again. This time it was normal sized but soft shelled. It also had what looked like a mini bit of soft shell with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I opened the soft shell it had a normal egg inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems as if Snow is laying too many eggs in quick succession. The trouble is there is no way either she or we can slow it down. I am really worried that this will eventually be her down fall but there is nothing that can be done about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish Snow would take a break but nature will take it’s course and all we can do is hope that she will continue to get her eggs laid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annoying thing is, that when Snow started laying she laid tiny torpedo shaped eggs. I was really pleased because I thought this meant she wouldn’t have egg laying problems. Something has obviously changed internally. It’s very frustrating. We can only keep our fingers crossed for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
