My bride said we got 11 eggs today, but 3 were cracked or broken and unusable. Not sure if it was thin eggs or pecked in eggs.

I am having an issue with thin brittle eggs shells. I expect such things in my old girls but not my youngsters that are not quite a year old.

They get a 17% Layer ration, and I mix a higher protein and calcium mixture in their feed to make a hot porridge in the mornings, they also get oyster shell.

I have started giving calcium tablets to those I know of, that are laying brittle eggs. A couple of the older ladies one of whom I know is laying eggs still (my BR), and a couple of the youngsters whom I have caught laying odd eggs.

I think it has helped the BR and my silkie Marty who’s eggs are good now.
