RIR laying pale eggs?!

[Emanuel_acrehomestead]

I have a RIR 4 years old that recently started laying white or off white colored eggs. They also are lumpy, which Ive read are calcium deposits?? She also has had a very poppy bottom ever since it started warming up. I had to wash her every other day multiple times a day to the point her bottom is almost now bare. Ive treated her with calcium pills as well as oregano supplements. Is this old age or a possible condition?

Could be old age. As a hen ages sometimes her egg color can be a bit funky. What are you feeding? For the poopy butt feathers, I found that trimming them close to the skin (but still leaving some fluff) works well for constant poopy butts

Ive heard that pale eggs are sometimes a consequence of heat, although that doesn’t seem likely at this time of year. Good luck!
