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.
Hi TERRY4..were you talking to me? Yes, their whole run is dirt, sand, and grit. I also have a mixture of "grit" that I paid for which is virtually sand & oyster shell. I have a 50# bag of oyster shell, and I also have two 25# bags of gritty sand I bought from home depot. The bottom of their coop is gritty sand. I was just adding the eggshell to cover all my bases.
