I have an Australorp cross who has always laid extremely thin shelled eggs that always have small calcium build ups all over one end. I've always thought if the shell is thick enough to hold the egg then I guess it is ok. For the past month she has only laid broken eggs. Lately she has been in the nesting box for very long periods of time and the other hens have been laying on the floor. It seems that she is having trouble laying these broken eggs? I am wondering what if anything can I do? Is this simply a situation where she is not a good layer?
Any advice is appreciated
