I wanted to know how young a chicken can lay eggs. I have a hen that is about 3 to 3 1/2 months and noticed this past week end two shellless eggs in the coop and another one this mornin. But my two other hens are still giving me regular eggs daily so could this possibly be the youngest hen?
 
Laying at 3 - 3 1/2 months would be highly unusual.
Are you positive of the birds age?
What breed is it?

Oyster shell should always be available in separate container.
Newly laying birds often lay softshell eggs anyway, can take up to a month or so for things to smooth out.

Oh and Welcome to BYC!
