Hi folks,
Our 2 little hens started laying this morning.

I found one tiny egg with just a membrane (no shell) on the floor and another on the poop board -- no shell.

I know their systems have to mature a bit to get up to speed with laying, but I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to up their calcium to get the shells going.
 
Soft shell eggs are very common for first timers...I think 90% of mine started with a soft shelled. But, it wouldn't hurt to give them some oyster shells or something to boost their calcium :)
