Default OT Looking for pullets

Btw, Tina - Chickeny seems to have completely recovered and is back to her
old self now. I think she's still not laying, but that's not a problem.
The drugs she was on said she's not to be eaten now anyhow.

Came home yesterday to a shell-less, yolk-less egg in the box. :-(
A small one, so we're assuming it's from one of the bantams, although there
was a brown feather there, so it /could/ be Chickeny giving it another go, I
guess.

Can't be calcium deficiency in one and not the others, since they eat the
same, and afaik, none of them are picking the grit out of their food to be
uber-fussy. Hoping it's a one-off, but not had any small eggs today, so
hard to say.

We went away last week and they seem to have missed us. Apparently their
laying was very low ("they even laid 4 one day!!" - we /often/ get 4 a day,
and one day there were none, which I don't think we've ever had!) whilst we
were gone.
