soft shelled eggs

Hello! So, I have this Swedish Blue duck that I took in about two weeks ago. She’s around 10 months old, so this is her first time laying. Every single egg she’s laid so far has been small and soft shelled, right up until today where I found a huge, hard, double yolker. I’m confident it’s her...

I am a new chicken mama. My chickens have been laying and playing nicely for several months now. Last week I got one soft shelled egg. Now I have gotten one two days in a row. I have no idea who is laying them. I have 17 barred rocks who are all the same age but came into laying at different...

Posting this again on injuries forum😊 Hello! I have a hen who has been laying soft shelled eggs for awhile now, but since recent she has been laying them everyday. What I notice is, that she is fine in the morning once I let the flock out, but when evening comes, she slows down...she goes to...

I’ve had a girl recently lay a bunch of soft shelled eggs and just found a wrinkled egg. I have an idea of who the suspect is but i’m not quite sure. It’s most likely my buff orpington who is 15/16 weeks and 4 days. I would assume that because she’s so young is why she’s having weird eggs but...

My older runner duck has been laying soft shelled eggs at the same time every afternoon for several weeks. I pulverized a calcium citrate pill and tried to give it to her via treats, but she once she realized the CC was on there, she wouldn't touch them. Then I tried to syringe watered down CC...

Hi all. My favorite 2 year old Amber-White hen has probs and I can't figure it out. The other 6 hens don't seem to be having this problem though one 2 year old gold sexlink lays eggs in separate parts and has for most of her life and may have some thinning feathers on her underside too. (I think...

Aloha everyone! My sweet 2.5 year old RIR hen, Oia, had a swollen abdomen for at least a couple months that had her having soft poops, eating less, and loss of muscle mass. Her sister died in November from reproductive illness :( Oia seemed to be getting more unwell as her abdomen enlarged, and...

Long story short: 4 hens on an all flock feed supplemented with oyster shell and crushed egg shell. One of my Isa Brown hens is laying soft shelled eggs. Maybe the same one that every once in awhile lays double yolker or lays from the roost. These incidences happened when I fed layer feed too...

I've a 1 year old Easter Egger hen. She has been laying pretty reliably this year, but i'm getting a little worried. I've found 2 different eggs on the poop boards in the morning, once in February and one a couple weeks ago. She lays very strong thick shelled eggs most of the time, so I didn't...

My birds are currently on Agrimaster mixed flock feed, with oyster shells mixed into the feed. Scratch feed is given occasionally as a treat. Some of the hens in this flock have not laid in a very long time. What would have caused an egg to come out like this? I have no idea who laid it...

So we have been having a problem with our ducks laying soft, thin-shelled or shell-less eggs, and we often find them broken or crushed in the coop in the morning when we let them out. We bought oyster shell to sprinkle in their regular layer feed and have been doing so for a few weeks, but their...

My hen had a soft egg shell coming out of her that had busted open inside of her. I needed to pull it the rest of the way out. Is there something I should be doing for her??? She is almost 5 months old.

Hi everyone! I've had my sweet flock since last March (4 girls: dominique, buff orpington, australorpe and an ameraucana). The dom, buff, and australorpe are happy, healthy, and great egg layers. Heres my problem: the Ameraucana (about year and 1/2 old) now lays one very thin-shelled egg MAYBE...

I have a bantam Brahma that has been laying soft shelled eggs while she's on her roost. All the other hens are laying normal eggs, except the broody hens, who aren't laying at all. My Brahma hen is about 2 years old. I have been feeding my hens laying feed and scratch, but I'm planning to feed...
