You could probably experiment with it, just make sure to change it often so it doesn't spoil. Then again they may just keep going for your chick feed for a while.

I would think it's a pretty good possibility. My flock rushes over any time they catch sight of chick food. Of all the things they can eat in a day they sure seem to like that :)

If she seems otherwise healthy I agree, just try some extra calcium. My leghorns have layed a "shelless" egg twice since I got them. I just make sure theres oyster shell available and that I don't overdue treats with them and they seem to adjust fine. Good luck, hope that's all it is.

Sometimes in the beginning eggs can be soft. Add some oyster shell free choice, it has extra calcium that will help keep the shells stronger. To make an egg they deplete quite a bit of calcium from their bodies and need a way to replenish it.
