Yesterday afternoon Amber looked unwell again. She has been so much better recently but yesterday afternoon she looked really poorly again and I knew another egg was on the way.<\/p>\n

I have been giving her daily limestone flour and cod liver oil in mash. I encouraged her to eat by dropping sunflower seeds in front of her which she did eat. At bedtime Amber is usually on the store cabinet with Sparkle but I expected to find her in the nest box with Topaz as this is where she usually goes when she feels unwell.<\/p>\n

To my surprise Amber was stood on the top of the cabinet. As I got closer I realized that she was stood over her egg and must have just laid it. I picked it up and it was incredibly thin shelled. It was dented where the shell would move as it was touched.<\/p>\n

I put the girls to bed and when I went in to them this morning Amber had as usual bounced back to normal again. It seems no matter what I give her she still has this problem with her eggs. It worries me that one day an egg will break as she is trying to lay it.<\/p>\n

I know there is nothing more I can do to help her though and I just hope she can keep passing her eggs. Every time this happens I think I am going to lose her but yesterday my husband said that she would bounce back once her egg was laid and he was right. This morning you wouldn’t know she had a problem. I just hope to have her for as long as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
