Hello everybody, this is my first post here
i have 3 ex batts for past year and a half. one of them had always problems with laying: either the eggs had thin shell, white was watery or she did not lay for long period of time. i saw her today looking like she wanted to lay an egg but couldnt so i went to eggzamine her (sorry bout that) and she had some blood coming out of her vent. i was observing her for a while, she was eating and drinking normally. she just sat in a corner of the garden, nibbling on mixed corn i gave her and after few minutes she laid an egg with completely soft shell plus more blood. after this she went back to normal and she seemed perfectly fine. i inspected her vent and cleaned the feathers and found out that the bleeding must have been internal. any idea what could have caused that and how can i help her?
thanks!
