She's a nice girl! We have some of those. A watched pot never boils as they. Maybe don't worry about it so much. She'll get to it in her own time, as ours did.

Yes I was talking to you. Sorry should have made it clear. I know many use eggshells, BUT I can't count how many times people said their chickens started eating their own eggs. Nearly impossible habit to break. I'd stop giving them,seeing as you only have the one with soft ones. It should change.

Do you leave grit AND oyster shell in with them? I had a couple of soft ones when our hens were starting out, but it normally(with given the proper things)fixes itself. Sorry, but I don't agree with egg shell. It's not that pricey to get the oyster shell & grit.

Did you call the company you got them from? I'd be complaining!

So sorry you lost one. I have always wondered if they'd eat shavings but was lucky and none of mine did. I use shaving I get from up the road at a small business. He never uses toxic type woods so I use it for my chickens and horse. Thankfully haven't had a problem.

Maybe explain a bit more so we know what to say. Are they staying in when it's hot IN the coop? Do they normally come out?
