No animal health section, but I think here will do.


Two of my native fowls layed together and also hashed together. The both of them looked after the chicks simultaneously ...after some weeks, a cock successfully got one of the hens, thereby leaving just one hen to the chicks.

Some days later, the second hen (the one with the cock) began to lay eggs, after laying about 4, the first hen, ie the one with the chicks (i don't know how) came across the eggs of the second hen. Then I noticed something I had never noticed with hens...it became jealous. It instantly started looking for a cock.

Few days later it successfully laid an egg...but since then, it has been laying the yolk separately from the shell, like a deformity. People around say it wouldn't survive, but each time it does that, it becomes normal again (though, when it wants to lay that kind, it looks sick and physically force itself).

Its a very young hen, this is just the second cycle. Help me out if you know Whatsup.

Thanks

(I don't know the animal expert on nairaland, else I would have mentioned).

Please someone explain this phenomenon to me.

Here are some pictures of today's own. Just this night
